We've just rolled out an initial version of Intelligent Octopus Go, enabled for a handful of users. Please DM or drop us a line at labs@wonderwatt.com with your WattID or registered Gmail email address if you would like to try this out.

Exciting. Is it just for compatible cars or chargers though, or for any car or charger?

@"Gazzagreen"#p3146 I'm in the beta if you can you have the tariff I believe it will work as its pulling from the Octopus API and controlling your inverter so has nothing to do with the car or charger. It's found my slots first time so really impressive.

Yes I’m interested please: impassioned-spirit

@"Gazzagreen"#p3146 Not related to car charger control. Mainly verifying the mapped charges for your EV and creating a hold/charge for your solar battery to match the dynamic slots, to prevent your battery draining into the EV.

@"psiloc"#p3148 Enabled for you.

I see. I'm happy on flux atm, but if I was to try this later, what I'm trying to ask is I am able to get the intelligent Go tariff from Octopus? I ask because as far as I understand it, they require a car or a charger they can control or you can't get the tariff. e.g a tesla as they can control the charging on the car, or compatible charger. Is this agreed with octopus to be able to use the WW-tariff with a non-compliant car or charger?

@"Gazzagreen"#p3151 Without a compatible EV - for which they will perform a test charge, I don't think you can get OIG. We simply check the dynamic charge slots that Octopus has assigned to your Octopus account. If you haven't got Octopus Intelligent Go, we won't retrieve any smart charge slots from Octopus when we query your account.

@"Gazzagreen"#p3151 Yep you need a car or charger that is compatible.

I might be getting a (2nd hand) Tesla later this year with Pension money :D

Hi there, impassioned-spirit First usage of IOG last night by plugging my car in and I don't think it quite went to plan! :) [URL=https://i.imgur.com/5qtopBZ.png][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/5qtopBZh.png[/IMG][/URL] So at first it picked up my smart charge of 23:30 - 06:30 and had a target of 86% at a rate of 33%, which is fine. It then, from somewhere, picked three more half hour blocks and mapped those. The problem is that in between those half hour blocks, the battery was discharged to power the house. This is not only in contradiction to the proper mapped charge but was unnecessary anyway as IOG always has off-peak rates between 23:30 and 05:30 - in fact of course the battery should still have been charging from the grid due to the dismal forecast. I don't know what happened with those additional blocks but if I check my Octopus app, those blocks are shown there right now too, so WW hasn't pulled them out of nowhere. I do know that in reality Octopus was charging my car as per the original mapped charge of 11:30 - 06:30 and this didn't get interrupted. One thing I recall, yesterday when I plugged my car in, the charge target was just 10% additional, and I _think_ it's possible that the original smart charge schedule was these three blocks. I subsequently changed the charge target to be 60% additional, and it mapped the new proper schedule. I wonder if both sets of instructions were still in the API? Is there something you need to be checking to know whether you have the latest schedule? In any case would it be possible to configure WW so that it always "knows" about the basic 23:30 - 05:30 off peak, and only does something with smart charges in addition to that? Love that you're doing this by the way, please don't take any of this as a moan!

Intelligent Octopus Go - limited beta

extraneous-pattern

angellevski same issue - but with home battery depletion.

admin

Yeah it does look like we are not getting the IOG slots through from the API anymore, and we just use the default slot automatically.

Could you @extraneous-pattern @angellevski let us know when you plugin today and you have a mapped IOG slot planned, so we can do some digging please?

angellevski

admin I'm afraid I've got enough charge. But will definitely let you know in a day or two when I charge again

extraneous-pattern

admin sure thing. I won’t need to for a few days. Will let you know when I do. Last night data I can make available too if helpful?

MrMessy

admin OK, I've just plugged in and started smart charging immediately at 22:56.

primary-hotel

admin

extraneous-pattern We have added more logging now around IOG slot retrieval, so hopefully this will allow us to diagnose better as to what's happening.

admin

MrMessy Right, thanks for that, we've got some more info and will be looking into this in more detail to understand what's going on.

Gabalunzie

Hey all, just noticed I missed a morning charge slot today from 9:30 to 10:30am so the battery got hammered instead of changing to charge. Will let you know if it misses the extra slots I get this evening (I almost always get 11pm-8am)

Gabalunzie

Yep it's missed the slot, is saying no planned dispatches found

admin

There's a weird issue going on with OIG beta at the moment. We're not getting mapped slots through in time. For now, only the default window will be applied.

Do let us know when custom charges have been mapped outside of that by Octopus though and your WattID so we can investigate this further.

Also, let us know how quickly between plugging in and you getting the mapped charges through on the Octopus app please. If this is now taking longer, that could be the cause of this issue.

angellevski

I've just plugged in and got a schedule from IOG. There's a little delay I think. It used to be almost instant but now takes a minute or so. Got
01:00-01:30
01:30-02:00
02:00-06:00
Will see if it gets mapped in WW but nothing so far

angellevski

angellevski so no extra slots were added and my house battery got drained in those 30 mins after 5.30

admin

angellevski We're adding some more logging, to help diagnose this.

admin

More logging now added for IOG, if anyone could please plug in when they have a few mins, until their charges are mapped by Octopus, and then let us know here with your WattID, we can dig into this further.

angellevski

admin just plugged in and got IOG slots

admin

angellevski Thanks, which slots did Octopus map for you?

angellevski

admin

angellevski It looks like that came through OK, but it's also within the default IOG window.

angellevski

admin yes that's true. But it didn't map them in the app. I've just added 100% to the car to see if that would add slots outside the default night one and got
00.00-06.00
09.30-10.00
10.00-11.00
Did you receive that too?

admin

angellevski Are these still mapped? Doesn't look like it. We just rolled out a bug fix to the server app. Can you plug in again please to try? Thanks for your help!
