Warning for Home Pro users. Ohme has rolled out new firmware v2.62. This seems to be throttling the charge rate to under 4kWh dragging out schedules longer than requested. If this is happening to you, submit a ticket to Ohme and they will roll you back to v2.5 until the bug is fixed. Use...

I've just had a gander at our electricity consumption for April. We used 232 kW on charging at a cost of £17.39. We got just over 930 miles for that. Our electricity bill hasn't changed from April last year because of Octopus Intelligent Go. My old Saab manages about 25mpg and that mileage...

Had ours for two months today. Everything is going well. Keep reading - in the last two days on here I've learned about the wifi-hotspot and using the voice control.

Andy Vee is one of the Mods on there and here is his mantra;- "Heads up! Here's your weekly reminder to... Have one ACTIVE schedule and price cap disabled Make sure Favour Green Energy, Save Money and Battery Optimization are all turned off." In incredible failure to read properly, I didn't...

Join here;- https://www.facebook.com/groups/ohmeevseintelligentoctopus and make sure you read the MUST READ featured post. The Ohme app will control the charge. You don't use the Octopus App and you don't set anything in the car. You set the charge for the amount you want to ADD not the...

In this video, a MG4 owner tried to use the app at a Tesla Supercharger and found it didn't work and using a debit card was the answer;-

If the Ohme App is showing "Session Specific Rule" it means you've done something after approving the charge (like opening the door) and plugging in. Simply unplug and plug in again and check the app and re-approve, if needed. FWIW we use nothing in the car for charging. Have never set anything...

I was in the same boat as you a month ago and it helped me set things up right and I've had no charging issues at all.

If you haven't already, join here;- https://www.facebook.com/groups/ohmeevseintelligentoctopus and first go to the MUST READ FEATURED POST to establish how to set up Octopus and Ohme correctly.

No issues here, so far.

I use OIG like you, but look here for the forward Agile pricing which gives an indication of possible 7.5p slots on OIG;- https://www.agiledashboard.co.uk/ Greener Days forecast is showing well for the next three days too.

I did an equalisation charge last weekend. I sussed from the Greener Days forecast and Octopus Agile rates it was going to be a good weekend for cheap electricity due to the wind, so I took it down below 10% and at 8pm Saturday asked the Ohme to add 95% by 12pm Sunday lunchtime. In the end, it...

We're really impressed with our Trophy ER. I managed 185 miles and still had 37% and 100 miles left. Then my wife one-upped me and managed 200 miles with 44% left. It now appears to have broken into a competition! I'll never win, because I am definitely heavier-footed doing 65-70 on M/way where...

Ah. Ok. I was doing that 10% to 100% charge for the first time. Must have got the wrong end of the stick!

I don't set anything in the car. I tell the Ohme what I want to add and by what time and it takes care of it with Octopus setting the charge slots to achieve the requirement.
