New Octopus Cosy Tariff

Gazzagreen

Although this is a heat pump tariff for the winter months, it is a double-dip off-peak tariff where you can charge your battery twice a day on low cost energy. This means we really need your software to be able to charge the battery during the night and for a period during the day to make full use of the tariff. ATM you only allow for one charging session, but with new tariffs appearing all the time, we need more flexibility in the charging and export scheduling for what the future brings such as the Cosy tariff.

Can this be introduced?

Gazzagreen Hi - yeah this is on the radar. It's not supported on GivEnergy itself, and we will need to slightly redesign how we store and deal with multiple schedules in the backend.

But this will be in place before winter!

NOTE: Looks like we can edit each others posts?

Brilliant thanks

admin

Gazzagreen That’s odd - looks like that was enabled by default on the General forum. Should be fine now, thanks for the heads up!

~~I just edited this~~

Gazzagreen

admin I just edited your reply...

admin

Gazzagreen Try now! I disabled it for General only, not Feature Requests forum. Should be good now.

Thanks again! 🤩

Gazzagreen

That did it

Any idea when this double dip enablement will be in place, we really need it now as the weather turns colder?

admin

We don't like giving targets for delivering features, as it's just setting us up to fail. Possibly in a couple of weeks. The idea is to run it with a few select users first prior to general roll-out.

I see you got your own workaround in place though @MarkP ? 😉

MarkP

admin yes I did have but as you’ll see from another post when the workaround didn’t work this morning I found I could only log into one of the accounts to check them and even when logging out it won’t then let me chose a different account to log into so I can only see the settings in one of the 4.

admin

MarkP Try and use an incognito browser window.

admin that worked a treat thank you

Is the double tariff charging schedule anywhere near? I have forgot to turn my charging back from charge battery to Eco several times now, and it costs a fortune every time I forget, yet I still forget! Latest mistake was just this evening.

admin

Gazzagreen It’s a hard one to crack because we want to incorporate other functionality into it, like Octopus Agile etc.

You could use a secondary Gmail email in the interim, and ‘cheat’ your way to two charge schedules. 🤫

admin

Gazzagreen It is now!

Ah ha, so you can run one inverter from 2 accounts?

admin

Gazzagreen Yup, there’s currently no restriction on that.

Gazzagreen

I can't sign out and sign in as another user, it knows it me over multiple browsers. Must be using a cookie or something.

admin

Gazzagreen Yeah so that's basically because we cannot log you out of your Google account. This is by design. We can only log your Google account out of Wonder Watt.

So, if you go to say Gmail, Log out of your Google account there, and you've logged out of WW, you then should be presented with Google options for different users, when attempting to log back into WW again.

Hope that clarifies things!

Gazzagreen earlier in the trail I had same issue but used an incognito browser (on iOS if you are on apple this is the private browser) and then you have to select which Google account to login with every time you login as it doesn’t remember from the last time. As I have 2 inverters on different power supplies for main house and separate annex I have 4 accounts and it works a treat until you have the issues like the last 3 days when nothing comes through/makes the switch (see different thread where this is a wider issue)
