IF it stops after first plug - it means schedule arrived!Remembering I have only a couple of days use, and currently I have done nothing else (nothing set in the car)...
The car starts charging when I plug it in at 6:30pm (when I get home), and then stops - it appears to take between 5 and 20 minutes to stop 'automatically' - (I believe this is the way IO is meant to work - Octopus stop the charge). Then I wait, and wait, stressing about a schedule arriving. When nothing arrived by 9pm I went out and unplugged and plugged back in, it started charging again (as expected) and stopped almost immediately and the schedule arrived (this, I like!).
I believe you can manually stop the charge when it starts, and you should still get a schedule, and others have said to set a 'start charging' time in the car of 9pm (for example) so it doesn't start charging. However, I was going 'plain vanilla' to start with to see what happens and get some confidence.
I am currently wondering whether I should leave it 10 minutes after parking up, just to ensure the home location is logged and Octopus know I'm home
It might not show up in your app because it is not refreshed within app itself. You need to fully close Octopus app manually, not to minimize it, and launch it again
