My father in law is in the same boat. I have tweeted octopus. I will let you know if I hear anything.

Mine did on Friday night. It looks like the only thing that has gone is when I utilise car is at home (car tracker). I need to figure out a work around. Although I could potentially remove the need for it.

FYI. I think the octopus servers are down at the moment

Sounds like podpoint.

Hi, If the podpoint is has a red light it is an issue at with your podpoint or prior to it. The advise from podpoint is to do as you have done. Reset and try again. Pod Point | Technical Documents For me the mini consumer unit had to be changed after a few months when I had this issue.

For me it was easy enough. I wanted to install both home assistant and teslamate on the raspberry pi. So I chose the docker container. I hadn't realised there are 2 versions of home assistant core and supervisor. With core it needs more effort to get custom Integrations going, but is very...

When integrated my podpoint with octopus intelligent I found the delay to activate the charger meant that the car didn't follow the intelligent schedules. It just used the 6 hour slot. If you sort it, please let me know.

Sorry I missed this, Check out This integration for octopus intelligent There is also an integration for lux inverter

Hi, 1) I am new to home assistant, I am not a programmer either. I set up home assistant on an old raspberry pi in a docker container. I have then set up an integration for my lux inverter, and a couple for octopus. In essence when octopus says that there is an off peak slot, the inverter stops...

Hi, Does this help...

If you have an android phone you can use TeslaA. I use to get Waze and Google maps on the Tesla screen. Check out TESLAA - Android Auto for Tesla App

Hopefully it is just a blip. I have a pod point too. The kwh appear in the app. Although I do not get an email . IO doesn't communicate with the pod point so I doubt is the cause.

For me ages, around the week mark.

Would start charge at midnight work?

On long journeys I turn blue tooth off on my phone. The Waze navigation instructions come through the phone's speaker. I have to remember to lock the car myself when I do this. So not perfect but suits my needs.

To me it is fast enough. Rarely it draws a little from the grid when our old washing machine is on. Other than that it copes. Below is a picturing from today when it happened. On the bill it comes up as 0 watts but a charge of 0.059p . So for me it works fine.

We have a lux inverter with Greenlinx batteries. No complaints from us

Hey, As you are with another supplier you will have to join a regular tariff e.g. flexible octopus. You can then switch to a smart tariff like intelligent once octopus can access your smart meter readings every 30 minutes. For me it was about 1 week after switching .

Does this work with Lux inverters? I am struggling to find a guide on how to do it.

I am looking at this now. I have been offered uhome, pylontech and greenlinx batteries with a lux inverters. From 3 different companies. Generally between £5to 6k for 7.2 kwh

I have TeslaAA which allows me to use the car's screen for android auto. This way I get to use Waze for navigation.

Hi, I have been on IO since February without issue. Since the update to 2022.40.4.2 I keep getting an message that octopus cannot control my device. I have ave tried rebooting the car which made no difference. Anyone else have this issue

Not on my end

Hey, I am finding my feet with the set up. The timer is setup to run from 0230 to 0530 on the immersion. However looking at the octopus app it does not always draw 1.5kwh per 30 mins over that time. I think the the immersion has a thermostat hence it comes on and off. For me, I have replaced...

I have been doing a few weeks. With the boiler using gas for 30 minutes to heating the hot water, it used 8.5kwh. The immersion heater which runs on and off for 3 hours overnight used 3kwh of electricity.

Is it not 45p/kWh?

If they plug into the charger it should charge their car. As already said if they charge between 2330 and 0530 it will be at the lower rate. For me octopus intelligent only talks to the car, so a bump charge only tells my car to charge. It does not talk to the charger.

They did for me at the end of last year

I logged a service request as my usb has constantly been unavailable. I have tried a couple of USBs and reformatting them. Tesla called back to say this is a known software issue, in cars with atom processors and the failure to detect the usb. It should be resolved with version 16 update.
