The problem with Ohme chargers is they are geared up handling variable tariffs such as Octopus’s intelligent tariffs, rather than more simple 2 rate tariffs, which you have with Octopus Go. Ohmes app therefore could do with a more bog standard timer facility to allow timed charging between 00:30 and 04:30 or what ever it maybe. Ohmes gets roud this in a roundabout way by allowing you to set a charge schedule up, to charge your car to x% by 04:30 and setting the “the never charge above” to your off peak rate, defined by your GO tariff, effectively telling the charger only to charge the care during your off peak hours. That effectively is a timer for those of peak hours and a crap oneat that, essentially makeing the charger dumb. If you have no luck with my last post, it is probably better to to set the Ohme Pro up as a dumb charger (charges when the car is plugged in) and use your cars charging settings to control when the car charges and to what charge % you want. The Ohme Pro will be in “contant on” state but your car charge scheduling takes control, meaning the Ohme charger will only charge when the car asks for it. For example plug the car in at 18:00 but, the car won’t tell it to charge untill between 00:30 and o4:30. Set your car settings to charge between 00:30 and 04:30 up to a maximum of 80% charge (or what suits), if the 4 hour window isn’t enough to get to 80% it charges to what it can in that four hour window and then stops charging. To do this delete all schedules and set everything other than “push notifications” on Ohme app to OFF and set you car up to charge in the time window.
Ok i shall give that a try. Do i need to access them settings in the car or can it be done through the app?
My car is only on 19% battery now so i just removed my schedule on ohme app and removed price cap and put on a max charge but after 15mins it still says 19% charge on the car
See my car app photo saying 1kwh
