Can you add 2 tariffs to the Ohme app? We use Peak Save from British Gas which is half price during certain hours, we’ll also occasionally charge at full price. I can’t see a way to have 2 tariffs.

Frm memory, no you can’t but, you can overide to start/stop charging at anytime of the day, from the app or charger.

@Kezo, it’s to get the usage cost as accurate as possible. If I’ve only got the Peak Save 11.5p tariff set but I charge at the normal 23p rate (which I will only rarely do) I won’t get accurate costings in the usage section of the app.

I contacted Ohme regarding setting the tariff  for Peak Save Sunday, they advised to set the tariff myself using multi tariff, this allows you to select different prices for different times / days. It works, if anyone is interested this is how to do it. (Info supplied by Ohme)

You can set up the tariff information manually by creating a “Custom Tariff”.

 

Please follow the steps below on how to set this up.

In your Ohme app, navigate to Settings > “My Tariff” and click “Select a new tariff”
You will see different suppliers and the various pre-set tariffs, or you can choose “my supplier/tariff isn’t listed” at the bottom of the screen.
At the top of the screen, please fill out the name of your Electricity supplier
Next, select one of the following options:
Single Rate = If you have 1 price applied for day and night
Dual Rate = If you have an off-peak window during the day or night where electricity is cheaper
or Multi Rate = if you have multiple off-peak windows, or if your rates differ per day of the week
Fill out the price in pence per kWh of your standard rate, and the prices/ times of your off-peak window if applicable
Then confirm your time zone and if your meter runs on daylight savings.
Once set, click on “Save” which will bring you back to the overview where you can review your tariff information and tap “Done” to finish.

Why does it matter what tarrif you add, it’s your utility supplier that charges you, not the ohme device

@crippleddad

It is because the Ohme App will  to tell you how much each charging session has cost.

It can only do this if it knows your suppliers tariff.

As @Ioniq said, if you accurately set your tariff you can look on the usage page and see exactly how much you are spending on charging.

As @joejoe says.

The most important reason for checking the Ohme app is to join the GLEE CLUB.

This is where you used to remember spending £120/ month on petrol, and now your costs have slumped to £12/month. This gives you extreme GLEE.
