  • Intelligent Octopus Go - limited beta

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

    Mine's all looking good from last night.


    Just to let you know we had something weird happen on morning of 8/7/2024. Battery charged then discharged (possibly into EV), then recharged, then discharged again, then recharged and started discharging again, all during the off peak window. Looks like there were extra charge slots added:

    WattID: recent-cake
    Otherwise, it's been working pretty well.

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

        PeteC Right yeah, it's weird really why Octopus maps a few slots that fall in the 23:30-05:30 IOG cheap rate window, but perhaps we should ignore mapped slots that fall completely within this IOG off peak window.

            extraneous-pattern Great, thanks for digging that out.

            So it looks like a mapped charge slot was issued for 18:51-04:00 by Octopus, and we picked up the 04:00 AM end charge.

            We need to add a fix where if the end time for a mapped charge is within the main IOG offpeak window, we extend it to 05:30 by default.

                Added my account and API key

                Tried my first charge today and got slot from octopus but not showing on WW

                Anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

                    ray82 What is your WattID please? You can find it at the bottom of the Advanced section.

                        It's subtle-fail

                        It did seem to pick it up from 23:30 but it mapped the charge from 20:30

                            Car isn't plugged in but still showing mapped slots. Is that normal?

                                They did thanks,
                                Think I've got my head around how it works now 😀 will plug in tonight afterwork and see how it all goes

                                    admin I think it's because that's when it's cheaper for Octopus (and presumably lower carbon intensity on the grid). Had the same problem again this morning, and yesterday, so battery very low. Hopefully it will start charging later.

                                        PeteC This should be fixed in Release 690. We now don't save individual IOG slots that get mapped and fall within the default IOG window 23:30-05:30.
