Ohme chargers in IOG

MrMessy

@admin doesn't affect me as I'm using a Zappi but, I believe IOG charging schedules may now show in the Octopus app, following the latest Octopus update.

You may want to look at this, as I believe it was previously an issue.🤔

MrMessy Thanks for the heads-up, I guess users with Ohme chargers will need to test it out! :-)

MrMessy

admin a post in relevant FB groups to attract attention would help.😉

MrMessy Good point, thanks for the nudge. MrMarketing! ;-) You're right though!

Noticed this myself. @admin will this mean you can now pick up the charging schedule for users who integrate and manage their charging schedule from within the Ohme app. This is currently an issue if charging is scheduled outside the 2330-0530 time period.

Monkey If the slots show up in the Octopus app as “We mapped your charge slots” and shows them there, then yes.

Monkey Hmm. Looks like Octopus changed something minor on the UI side, but still do not issue the dispatch slots themselves and map them, it still seems managed by Ohme.

HI,
Hope someone can help as it's my first day here!
I have set up Wonder watt with IOG and put my car on charge. Only to find Givenergy battery draining.
Checked Octopus app and no slots in there but Ohme is controlling the charging with a saving session now.
How do I stop battery drain??

TonyW If we don't get cheap slots issued from the Octopus API, WW can't take any action, it's as simple as that really.

TonyW

Ok
I've just set up the Ohme with octopus again, I can see the slots in both apps. There on the smart charging page in Ohme and in the device/ohme on the Octopus app.
Should know in 3 mins as these is a saving session starting. Fingers crossed no battery drain!

Cheers
Tony

How long does WW take to update and show Planned Intelligent charge slots?

Thought that Ohme does the Octopus stuff so WW can't see what is going on.
I have Ohme Pro charger and have been told by Octopus that if there is solar and a battery involved, the battery will discharge into the EV. Ohme has no way to stop it.

But there are posts on here that say WW can sometimes see Ohme slots via the Octopus API so maybe things have changed? Would be good if that was the case then I could use IOG and WW.

johalareewi I think it's definitely a bit of a mixed bag. Would be good to get some clarity one way or 't other!
