I have posted this on another post but didn’t get many response. I am wondering whether people who are on IO and/or recently switched to IO can provide any suggestions.
The background story is, I recently switched to IO and when I first did a test charge it didn’t stop. I had to manually stop that in the app. Though it created a schedule the car didn’t charge during that period. IO kept creating new schedule but it didn’t charge the car. I thought probably an error.
But again I connected today, the same. The car started charging and I had to stop using Tesla app. I switched off the toggle tab in octopus to stop smart charging and switched back on. Then it brought the charging schedule. Now hoped the car will charge again tonight at the scheduled time. But it didn’t. I have to start the charge again. So I created the trigger from Podpoint to charge atleast at the off peak just to avoid any peak tariff. I was hoping this will trigger the charge but will stick to IO schedule. But it didn’t. So any suggestions from people?
I have signed out and signed back in the app. I have not removed the device and should I do that? If it doesn’t charge tonight (I am not confident) I may have to inform Octopus.
I’ve seen on another post about just using Podpoint to trigger the charging at the off peak and then leaving IO schedule to continue. I tried that yesterday but it didn’t follow the IO schedule. It just continued with the off peak tariff time of 1130-530.
There are few issues:
- GPS location in Tesla app always identifies neighbours door number. I have just done the edit and will wait whether Google adds my house number.
- I have ambitiously set up some automations - set charge to 90% during weekends and 63% during weekdays. Whether that bit is causing any issues with octopus schedule I am not sure. Please let me know if you are aware of any conflicts with automations related to charging. @medved please comment given your expertise in automations.
