PANface Hi When I get a slot from OI outside of normal 23.30-05.30 charging slots this is using my Growatt Battery, I would like it to charge my battery at the same time in these random slots. Is this possible?
PANface This feature would be GREAT turning our dumb battery's smart! How long is the road do you think?
admin PANface We are finishing the multiple schedules first, once in place, we will add Octopus Agile - with automation of the half hour prices, settings to choose the cheapest charge slots. I thought Octopus Intelligent doesn't offer specific half-hourly plunge pricing?
PANface As soon as a zappi is plugged in, it selects slots during the day at cheap rate, but this will drain growatt battery :( Love it to charge at this time, i would even pay for this feature ££££££££££££££ come on GUYS
snellinator You may already know this but there is a way to prevent battery drain while EV charging. There pros and cons to the implementation. See https://myenergi.info/viewtopic.php?p=32919#p32919
psiloc I have an AC coupled battery and was worried about Octopus Intelligent for this reason, but having finally got my Zappi and EV delivered, it appears the installer must have fitted the charger in a similar way to that described in your link. I can tell from its dashboard that my home battery is just completely unaware of the charger and what energy it is drawing, and therefore doesn't try to meet its demand at all.
