Scheduled Charging

[Lovemyev]

Don't get to excited it's for charging only!
Ovo charge the full price then refund what you use for charging so it works out at 5p
There is only 2 chargers you can use one of them is ohme

Phew - You had me going there for sure @N2STY !.
I was holding a pen 🖊 ready to write down the energy provider .
5p all day / every day is a dream tariff for sure.
My pulse was racing there for a brief minute !.

Well guys, as this thread is expanding with no result for me I thought I set up a Test charge this afternoon using the Ohme app (no schedules on the cars head unit or I-Smart app).

I set Ohme to start charge when I plugged in (about 1300hrs) and go off at 1500hrs. Charging restrictions off (i.e. not off peak).

When I checked at 1530hrs, it was still charging.

Here are the screenshots:

That looks good so when you switch to 7.5p the only thing I can see that will stop it working is your tariff set up? If it thinks your tariff is say 8p it will not charge if you can't find you exact tariff you can put in a custom one

It's under my energy tab

Tap change and edit if necessary?

I know what you mean @N2STY . Forgot to attach my Octopus screen:

Nice OK the only other thing I would try is where you set your minimum price just set that to 8p you will still be charged your off peak price I just wondering if it needs a little bit of leeway?

 

[Whiskery]

Yes, perhaps it does. I'll give that a try tonight. Thanks @N2STY.

So I tried setting the off-peak charge at 8.5p (mine is actually 7.5p) in the Ohme app and lo and behold the charge started and finished during my off-peak hours.

Thanks @N2STY and all those who helped.
