Do any Audi owners use MyAudi app with Ovo Charge Anytime?

 

I am having to do constant resets as the MyAudi app overrides charge anytime with random timers.

Its driving me crazy! After the usual advice to uninstall/reinstall/update etc etc without improvement, it seems you can’t use the two apps together. But that completely defeats the point of charge anytime!! Why would I want to pay 22p per kWh when I’m signed up for 7p ??

The general advice @gnmills has been only to use the Charge Anytime app as there can be conflicts. 


That is unless you have a smart charger when its own app takes control. 

 


Thanks @BPLightlog But if you follow the first set up tutorial, it says “….Finally, the app will ask you for your vehicle manufacturer’s app username and password” so it’s impossible to not run the two apps together. Or am I missing something?!


You need to disable ALL schedules in the MyAudi app - but the instruction the CA app gives you during setup are the ones you need to follow, including logging into MyAudi.

If you’re still struggling: 0330 175 9678.

Your log in to your vehicle app gives access permission to charge anytime for control. But then don’t use the vehicle app as Blastoise mentions 


Thanks @Blastoise186 I do disable all the timers in MyAudi but then soon after, it just puts in another random time (which overwrites the CA instructions)

Do you think it’s worth installing both apps (again) and reinstalling?

 


No. That won’t help - I think you need to talk to the team.


Hi @gnmills,

 

I can see that our forum volunteers have already stopped by with some good advice here. Hope it was helpful.

 

Have you managed to get in touch with the team about this?


Thanks all for your advice  (I have had more interest shown in this forum here, than when I contacted audi and Ovo previously!)

 

I have discovered if I set car to immediate charge (in the car NOT via the MyAudi app) and then set charge times on CA then I need to reset less frequently. Time will tell!


Hi @gnmills,

 

It’s great to hear that you’ve manged to find a solution. Please let us know if you have any further issues.
