Maybe it is the leccy co's timeswitch that is out and you are using
your appliances at night, and getting the cheap rate in the day. Not a
likely issue if it's a radio teleswitch. But have you actually checked
the meter to see when the cheap rate is kicking in? and do your timers
coincide?

Hi,

What is the frost watcher used for specifically?

cheers,
