Try downloading the Hildebrand Bright App. It's free and you can see your usage down to half-hourly intervals. I was set a target of about 0.54kWh and can see from the app that I achieved 0.3kWh. I've heard nothing yet about a pass or fail. If you get the app the historic usage will show up right back for a year or so.
I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.
I took part Wednesday 30th & Thursday 1st. I unplugged everything except Fridge Freezer, Outside Freezer, Broadband Ring Doorbell. My usage went down to 30 and they emailed to say i failed. How much more can be done? It’s not worth the effort if I don’t get anything.
@Pantsdonna Hi I know how you feel, but I've just received 2 results and earned more than they quoted me. The only thing I did differently this time as well as no TV and no lamps (even with led bulbs) was to turn off my fridge freezer and chest freezer for the hour. I didn't unplug them just turned the dials down a little bit so they weren't consuming any electricity at all. Then after the hour turned the dial back to its original position. That made a huge difference to my energy consumption. Not a problem for me to turn them down instead of getting down on my hands and knees to unplug them, otherwise I may forget to plug them back in!
Fridge freezers consume a fair amount of electricity and no harm would be done if unplugged for many hours - think a prolonged power cut!
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
@JoeSoap. Hi I was interested in the 'Hildebrand Bright App' that you describe, but only got so far through the registration process and its asking me for a serial number and mac address from a glow stick device which I don't have. How did you get around this please?
@Lindylu
Oh blimey! I have to confess I’m a real Luddite. MAC address and glow stick mean nothing to me. I remember I had to put in a GUID number or something which is printed on the IHD. Honestly, I really believe if I can do it then anyone can. I’ll have a poke around the internet and see if I can dig anything up.
Edit… try the GUID number where it asks for MAC address. Also see @retrotecchie’s post below. If all else fails I think you can provide a copy of your bill to prove you are who you are. Let us know how you get on.

Reason: Added last para
Two versions of the app. The version that communicates with DCC to pull meter data from the servers. The other version works with a Glowstick, which is a Consumer Access Device, also available from Hildebrand, which interfaces between the HAN on the meters themselves, and your WiFi so you pull real time info direct from the meters themselves.
@theunknowntech may be able to provide some insight.

Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons.
I did the 22/11 event and still awaiting results. It's now over 2 weeks! Does anyone know who I can contact? I would like to continue with the Energy Shift project but I am losing confidence in the process.
I did the exercise on the 22nd of November and it is now over 2 weeks nearly 3, with no results! Is anyone else having the same problem? I've emailed customer services a few times but no reply.
