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

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!

angellevski

Just did. It created the same schedule as last time

admin

Fix rolled out now, thanks for the details @angellevski - there was a stricter validation error on the Octopus API that wasn't surfaced or logged, resulting in only the default IOG slot being applied.

@extraneous-pattern @Gabalunzie @MrMessy @PeteC - slots outside the 23:30-5:30 IOG window will get picked up again now.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Gabalunzie

Hey! Can confirm this is fixed :)

extraneous-pattern

I’m still experiencing battery drain for some reason. Last night data should show this. Not sure it picked up charging slots and at around 0430 battery started to drain when our immersion heater kicked in. @admin

extraneous-pattern

extraneous-pattern had the same issue again last night. Looks like as soon as battery hits 100%, it then starts discharging?

Snelly

im interested in trying this please?

angellevski

I tested and it works now. Even better - it seems improved. I got slots up to 7am and WW added 23.30 - 7 as my schedule so it includes the full night slot plus the extra. Thanks for the update.

angellevski

angellevski Spoke a bit too early. My battery got drained after 5.30 but I can't understand why. Activity log seems to show all correct. Any ideas?

admin

angellevski that’s a strange one, we’ll look into the instruction we sent. Bear with us until Mon/Tue pls.

ray82

Just moved onto IOG - can I be added to this beta please

subtle-fail

Osbo1

Can anyone tell me how long after starting the charge and receiving the additional slots (via Ohme app for me) should I expect to see the planned IOG slots in the WW app?

THanks

Osbo1

Further to the above, the slots never appeared. Could support please advise what I am doing wrong?
Slots never appeared so I put manual hold on battery.

Thanks.

admin

extraneous-pattern Can you see anything obvious in your Giv logs around that time?

extraneous-pattern

admin nothing in particular.

extraneous-pattern

admin ah wait here’s something. Looks like time was changed by Wonderwatt.
