Does the Charge Anytime App need the Ohme App to find EV

UPDATE

Well I was wrong. The Anytime App didn't connect at all tonight. I plugged it in as I was getting out of the car as I said in previous messages, and locked the car. The Ohme charger starting charging at the full rate. An hour and a half later I remembered to look…….the App had not connected. If it had, it would have gone to 80% ready for 5.30am. However, because it didn't connect, I ended up charging my EV at the FULL DAYTIME ELECTRIC COST up to 93%. This is not satisfactory!

What can I say…….. I was correct afterall, this new system is RUBBISH!

​@AGKett sorry to hear this! 

I’d definitely reaching out to the Charge Anytime team following Blastoise’s advice above:

have a word with the Charge Anytime team as they may be able to figure something out with you. Can’t promise anything, but they’re usually open to at least having a chat. 0330 175 9678 or chargeanytime@ovo.com.

Hopefully they’ll be able to help further.

I’m finding the same sort of thing with my Elroq 60, you plug it and it starts charging, then it seems to be random if Charge Anytime (and the Skoda app) even report that the car is plugged in, if it does not report the car is plugged in no charging occurs. I can use the Ohme app to max charge and then the car and Charge Anytime may detect whats going on and maybe stop the charge (and continue smart charging). But if I don’t check i.e. manage the charge myself then I get charged at the full tariff rate which is in my view not acceptable.
