I also am getting an error when connecting my ohme pro charger. Have emailed smart team but worried tagged days based on above comments. This is our support.

I can't continue on the app as car boot supported and she's not offer the charger.

Hi @robscriven, thanks for posting. 

 

What’s the latest on this? I’m not sure what the issue is from your comment…

Not sure whether anybody can help but after having my hypervolt installed by an OVO engineer, the charge anytime app is also now no longer working :( My car keeps charging and the OVO app will either pick it up as not charging, pick it up as plugged in but not ready to charge yet however it is, or lastly, sometimes it does seem to work…

 

Not sure what is happening, I have it set to be charged by 08:00 every morning and all settings under hypervolt seem correct.

Hey @xJames99,

 

Some feedback from the team: 

 

From a charge point of view, Charge Anytime is only available with a Hypervolt charger if you have a compatible EV. It's being worked on to make it fully Charge Anytime compatible within the next month or two, this could be the issue? Were you using your vehicle from a D2V (direct to vehicle perspective)?

No, I drive a BMW 330e and it worked perfectly fine on 3pin plug, and when my charger had no wifi it worked fine, now my Hypervolt has wifi, it’s not working. 

 

I hope this makes sense?

 

My OVO app is set up to use my vehicle to give charging statuses.

Hi I took advantage of Charge Anytime with OVO & today, after linking with my Ohme Pro, I charged my car

I set the schedule & the car charged.

when I checked the OVO app, on the My EV tab it just keeps giving me the Charger Data Error

I’ve included pics to show my data etc.

anyone else encountered this ?

I cannot connect my new enyaq to anytime.
My previous ID4 worked fine via the anytime app
It all seems to connect via the process until it gets to connect your car screen and it just sits on that forever.
Kazula works and finds my car.
I have deleted and reisnstalled all relevant parts.
My Skoda app works fine and knows that my car is outside my house.
all location data and parking position is active 
 
Thanks
