P110 - Electricity Price unusable, Time Of Use resolution to big.
I am trying to enter price per kWh and our peak and off peak rate times but there are issue which prevent it.
Our Off Peak time starts at 00:30 and end at 07:30. The app doesn't allow you to select half hourly times, only hourly.
Our Peak rate price per kWh is £0.33204, our Off Peak rate is £0.18137
It's not possible enter 0.33204 or 0.18137 into the app as you cannot enter a decimal point. The displayed numeric keyboard has a comma on it which I am guessing should probably be a decimal point. If I try to enter the 33204 it switches 15000 GBP/kWh. At the moment the smallest price you can enter is £1 GBP/kWh, which is +3 times greater than the actual rate.

The billing price supports input with precision up to two decimal places. Ensure your Tapo App is updated to obtain the best use experience.

Tapo android app version is 3.1.315.
How do I enter decimal places? as I said the keyboard that is shown has a coma and no decimal point.

Ahh, yes there it is, a whole new world lies behind that button (exaggeration). Duh should have spotted that myself, thanks.
So I put in 0.33204 & 0.18137, and checked the 'Bill for the month', the value was wrong by a factor of 100. The GBP mis-lead me, it makes you think you have to enter fractions of a pound, when you actually need to enter pence and fractions of pence. So instead of entering effectively £0.33204 it's supposed to be 33.204p, now its fine.
I was a bit disappointed at first as I thought I was going to have to do this for every device, but when going to do the 2nd device, the option to link it to the 1st devices pay rate settings was a very welcome feature, so it didn't take too long to set them all up. Might be better on the save of the 1st device to ask to link all the other device automatically too (I'll put a feature request in for that).
Good app and support, thanks.
