Intelligent Octopus Go fails to start the change

[myky]

Hello community,

Tesla 3, firmware: (2024.20.1)

My Intelligent Octopus is not working as expected. Schedules are being created without any issues, but the car fails to start charging during the scheduled time. I suspect this might be due to API and permissions. I have already verified that Octopus has permission to control my car. I've also tried removing and re-adding the car multiple times but without success.

Even though the schedule is created, the car simply won't start charging. In car settings, it is scheduled to start charging at 23:30, which usually works well for me. I have the car fully charged by the next day, but I'm curious if others have experienced the same issue.

It used to work. Let's say a schedule is created for 9 PM. Octopus would trigger the charge by sending an API call, and the car starts charging, overriding the car settings.

It's not a big deal, really, but I wonder what your experience is.

May be that car is asleep and local cellular outage means it isn't able to wake properly. However, you'd see that in the Tesla app around 21:00 if so.

I had to go outside to my S yesterday to toggle WiFi in car to connect to home Wi-Fi after finding it non-controllable from inside. Unsure why.

Thanks @Pink Duck

So my sentry mode is on all the time, even at home (I don't have a garage, and it's just a driveway for a terrace house.
Also, checking my wifi connection for the car - it always connects to wifi and stays connected as long as it's parked.

Isn't that grey gap before 16 hours ago coincident with 21:00 last night?

May even have been a Tesla API services outage. They never say.

That matches the time when I picked up the little one from nursery, and my wife went to the shop.
