Followed all the instructions on how to charge through the chsrge anytime app not the ohme charger. I've just set a schedule in the charge anytime app, plugged in, app can see car is plugged in. App says next schedule after 16.00. Car is charging straight away, Ohme app says smart charging! Worked so well before Ovo and Ohme fell out.
Answer
OVO Charge Anytime schedule set but car started charging immediately?

Hey
I know it is possible for the car to start charging on smart charging immediately it it’s been deemed green and allowing smart charging - so if it thinks it’s a good time, it may well over ride the schedule to charge at the cheaper rate as much as possible, there’s a similar topic below that might be helpful:
But as we can’t be sure here at the Forum without access to accounts, I’d definitely suggest contacting the Charge Anytime team so they can take a look for you to be sure if everything is working/set up correctly.

It sometimes takes a few minutes for the vehicle to check in - once it does, the system will take over.
Blame Ohme for not maintaining their code properly!

The last time it did that the charge anytime app didn't see the car as plugged in, so I can see why it stated charging straight away. This time it can see the car is plugged in but still charging straight away ignoring the schedule. Why would the Ohme charger be thinking it's smart charging?
