Intelligent Octopus Go - limited beta
I've configured the IO schedule and it's got updated with tonight's Smart Charge of the home battery between 23:30 and 05:30. I've just tried plugging my EV in and Octopus have mapped Charge slots between 23:00 and 07:00, then 07:00 to 11:00 tomorrow. Should any of this information be appearing in the WW schedule, as it isn't there?

J1m I have an planned export schedule running each evening. If I plug my EV in, creating charging windows during the evening, how does that interact with the running export schedule - does the export stop temporary or fully, or does the export stop the EV charge happening? Thanks in advance!
In my experience, smart charging will supersede any export schedules you have set, if they overlap.
Here's one of mine, where the smart charge started at 23:00 (even though the EV didn't actually start charging until 23:29), but you can see it cut short the discharge, which was timed to finish at 23:25
Also, make sure you have this set, otherwise it will dump your battery in to the EV, which I assume you don't want.
MrMessy Thank you for that. That would be great if it works that way in stopping the export schedule. I've also checked its Active thanks!!
...and I've was about to thank you anyway for your detailed guide on 21st September, which @JayC kindly pointed me to. I hadn't thought of using short sequential export windows in that way and I've now set mine up..Cheers!!
J1m Hmm.... I am sure charging slots do show on that page and that I have seen them previously there.
Mine aren't detailed tonight but I think that is because I have not been fortunate enough to have been allocated slots outside of the 23:30-05:30 standard band (despite plugging and unplugging:-) ).
