I have just joined Wonder Watt with IOG Beta and have some basic questions I would appreciate some help with (apologies if these have been asked before and/or are stupid questions).

  1. Should I remove any Timed Charge schedules that I currently have set in my GivEnergy Portal to avoid any conflicts with what Wonder Watt sends to my Inverter?

  2. Do I need to set up a schedule in the Wonder Watt app or does the Wonder Watt App automatically charge between 23:30 and 05:30 based on the solar forecast?

Many thanks in advance for any guidance you can give

    We use the default first Time slot and overwrite that, so any others you may have set up, it's best to disable them.

    As long as you have your IOG Settings schedule set to Active, the 23:30-5:30 slot we automatically add, regardless of whether your EV is plugged in or not.

    You should see the planned default IOG slot show up here:

          admin Thank you so much for your quick reply which was very helpful.

          So the only time I will need to set a one off Schedule in Wonder Watt is when Octopus are offering their Power Up and/or Free Electricity slots.

              Yep, and of course if you wanted to generally run a forced discharge if you are on a SEG export rate.

                Hello, I have set my agile schedule in WW.
                How should I leave my current schedule in GIV?
                Do I turn the schedule charges off?
                Thanks

                  Sykes2676 Should just overwrite your first schedule each time. Looks like it's gone alright.

                      admin perfect, I did check, I think it worked. I then turned all of my charge schedules. All good.

                        Separate post.. what I didn’t see yesterday, and just now it’s the same. The new rates have come out, and it has not pre-selected any slots in blue. Are you able to check if I have set something up wrong, as from what I have read, these should automatically highlight blue?
                        Thank you

                          Pourl oh really? Well it still hasn’t, but I’ll check in a few more hours maybe?

                              Would be able to check my account. I’ve just checked the log and nothing has been working.

                              I have noticed that the new charge schedules are not populating, unless I switch the schedules off and back on again.
                              Even if I manually make the charge schedules off- I don’t think it is telling GIV to charge
                              Thank you

                                Thank you - it was because of subscription, I assume it paused it because I hadn’t subscribed.
                                Sorted, thank you

                                I set my first WW charge with IOG and my car didn't charge. My home battery charged, which was good. But why not car charge at the time set by Octopus?

                                  stevek54 WW does not control car charging. With IOG, that is supposed to be done by Octopus when you have a compatible car or a compatible EV charger.

                                  WW IOG integration only ensures your solar battery storage also gets topped up in those cheap adhoc slots that IOG gives you.

                                    I ve just set up with IOG for the first time. I’ve read through all the Q&A’s and think I’ve done it correctly, however my GE charge schedule doesn’t reflect the IOG schedule I’ve received. Have I done something wrong!

                                      ChrisR Thanks for joining. What do your Octopus mapped charges say in your app?

                                      Worth noting that we simply condense continuous slots into one. And that the 23:30-5:30 for IOG users is the default cheap window.

                                          admin This is my Octopus Schedule. GE still just shows my 23.30-05.30 usual timed charge.
                                          My Watt ID is natural-quality if you wouldn’t mind taking a look I’d appreciate it.
                                          Thanks

                                              ChrisR Yep, looks perfectly fine and is the same as what WW has calculated for you. Don’t forget your default IOG cheap slot is 23:30-5:30.

                                              Come 23:00, a min or two before, WW will send the charge instruction for 23:00-8:30.

                                              There are no gaps that aren’t part of the cheap IOG window.

                                                  admin All worked fine in the end! I was expecting to see my GE scheduled charge times change, now I know that it doesn’t I can stop worrying.
                                                  The only blip was the pointless 4 minute slot that Octopus decided to put in to the car at 21.56. WW didn't pick this up(unsurprisingly) but apart from that everything worked seamlessly.
                                                  I’ve noticed more frequent late changes to IOG schedules recently, which is what drove me to investigate WW, and I’m glad I did. I’m vey impressed!
                                                  Thanks
