Smart discharge schedule and IOG charge clash
Just because it was mentioned above, Octopus prefer that you leave the car plugged in when at home, so that they can maximise the slots available to them to manage the load. And, if we consider the new world of vehicle to load/grid that will become a requirement. The likelihood is that the car will nearly always be connected to a point that is seen as house load (and for reasons of monitoring, one would argue it should be) but then this brings about the dreaded battery to EV discharge scenario.
Hopefully you can remove all instances of this being the outcome until we get to a point when this becomes almost impossible to do via standard API calls on any home battery and EV solution installed. We are a long way off that yet though.

jablad Right, if you do not see mapped charges in the Octopus app, it means Octopus do not control it and when we query the Octopus API, we get no mapped slots, see the logs below:
This is an issue with Ohme chargers, which are currently not integrated with Octopus' API - as in, Octopus controlling the IOG charges.
