  • Intelligent Octopus Go - limited beta

I agree with the comments from @KristianS
It's taken quite a while, and a certain amount of fine tuning, to have faith that WW will perform and not be tempted to look/panic/interfere but, I think we're pretty much there now, certainly for GE inverters.

Can I join the beta please. My id is obvious-tip

    PB579 All done for you now, you should see the Intelligent section under the Octopus submenu.

        admin When I input my account number and API I get this comment saying "an error has occurred. This application may not respond until reloaded"

        I have reloaded and the issue persists, any ideas?

            PB579 Likely the authentication failed, would you mind dropping us a line at labs@wonderwatt.com - so we can diagnose the detailed error further please?

            It looks like your API token is invalid.

              Hi @admin,

              Could you please add me to the IOG beta? My WattID is unlucky-field

                craig_uk All done for you now, you should see the Intelligent option under the Octopus submenu. Thanks!

                  admin I was wondering whether you'd made any progress on this. The reserve gives me an effective UPS for some 'essential' systems and I need to reset after every WW intervention. The benefits of the WW control easily outweighs the inconvenience of this though. But it would be nice not to have to do it!

                      tedious-intention Thanks for the nudge. We have put some backend support for this in place already, but it needs more work. We'll keep you in the loop.

                        Hi, is it possible to be added to the beta? My WW ID is disfigured-proposal

                        Thanks,

                        Dave

                          Hi @admin , not been on for a while because, well everything has just been working fine and I've had zero issues, until last night.

                          WW failed to set IOG (23:30-05:30) charging.
                          Nothing in the WW activity log, so I checked Giv inverter log and nothing set by WW.
                          I'd spotted it last night, so I set the times myself.
                          This morning there are the usual instructions from WW at 05:30 to reset.
                          I thought at first I must have paused the schedules by mistake, but nope, I've only paused user schedules as intended.

                          On checking further, it appears my inverter was offline just at the critical moment...

                          Could you just check the logs at your end and confirm that instructions were set but not received, due to inverter offline, please?

                          Also, could you remind me why WW sets the times to 00:00 at the end of a charging slot (I can't find the answer quickly scanning back though this and other threads), rather than the IOG default of 23:00 and 05:30?

                            MrMessy I had an inverter offline error at 1.30am and missed one of the Agile 30 minute slots. I wonder if GE were doing something as inverter offline is now quite rare after changes I made earlier in the year.

                              MrMessy Yep, indeed, Inverter Offline:

                              MrMessy Also, could you remind me why WW sets the times to 00:00 at the end of a charging slot (I can't find the answer quickly scanning back though this and other threads), rather than the IOG default of 23:00 and 05:30?

                              Basically, if we leave it set to whatever it was, be it on Agile or IOG (including ad-hoc slots), it might mean that in 24 hours you may accidentally pull from the grid when you don't have a cheap IOG or Agile slot.

                                    admin I'm not saying leaving it set to whatever it was, rather for IOG specifically, read/ignore whatever is the current AC Charge 1 Start/End is and set to 23:30 and 05:30, as this period is always cheap regardless of anything else that happens. That way, if there's no communication because of either an issue with your severs/cloud or the inverter is offline, it doesn't matter because the times have already been set at the end of the previous instruction.
