Charge Anytime app stuck on 'connecting to your Indra'

I’ve had nothing but trouble since taking the plunge and swithcing from the Indra Web app to the mobile Indra App and Charge Anytime combo that they are forcing on customers from next week. 

 

I’d delayed moving to it after seeing all the problems but decided to start the process. The first problem I had, which HAS been fixed was that the Charge Anytime app couldn’t find my charger at all. This was due to the Indra charger I had being faulty and replaced last October but the new mobile Indra app was seeing the old one and not the replacement charger. Anyway they got to the bottom of that and I was able to follow the instructions to add the charger to the Indra mobile app.

 

However after entering the Indra account info to link the charger in the Charge Anytime app it comes up with a message on the Dashboard that says ‘Connecting to your Indra’ and a radar icon.

 

And thats as far as it gets. No scheduling works presumably because the app is having trouble connecting to the charger but at the moment I’m stuck using the Boost option every night.

 

Indra have passed it to their 2nd Tier support  but when they keep asking ‘is it working now’ to which I reply ‘no’ and they go away and have a look again. Anyone had this problem and figured out a solution?

 

I’ve tried turning it off and on again but that doesn’t work. 

I’ve deleted the apps and re-installed.

Indra got back to me last Tuesday basically giving up and telling me to contact Charge Anytime which I’d already done via email the previous week. The guy at OVO was nice enough but didn’t seem to have any answer s other than what I’d been trying but i repeated deleting the charger from the Charge Anytime app but after adding it back in the problem persisted. He said he would contact the provider that the Indra charger works with (sorry can’t remember the name).


On the Wednesday the problem was still happening but after doing the following it worked. Now, I have no idea whether it was something he had done but after he responded to my email letting him know it was working he didn’t indicate that company Indra and Charge Anytime work with had corrected anything so it may be something in the following.

 

- I removed the charger from the Charge Anytime app again

- removed my car details from the Indra App

- added the charger back into the Charged Anytime app

 

The Charged Anytime app continued to show the ‘Please wait . . ‘ message so I thought I might as well add my car back into the Indra app. When I did this, for the next 20-30 seconds the Indra app said there was a connection issue, I refreshed the screen which cleared the message, presumably the car details were being added to the charger which is why it wasn’t available.

 

I went back to the Charge Anytime app where it was still showing the ‘Please wait . . ‘ message but this time it refreshed after 10 or 15 seconds and showed that it had connected.

 

I'm happy its finally connected but befuddled as to what the issue was as I’m sure I didn’t do anything different than previously.
