Hey @simongrigg  and @smym,

 

Sorry for the issues you’re having, 

 

It's worth checking that you haven't got any settings/charging schedules set on the vehicle app/vehicle or charger as these will conflict with the Charge Anytime app.

 

For more on Charge Anytime and how it works, check out the FAQ homepage. We’ve aslo got some really handy topics on how to set up Charge Anytime with either a compatible EV or charger:

 

 

Keep us posted how you get on.

If you’ve set it up correctly you should be able to set the target charge % and the target ready by time and it will do its stuff at the 10p rate. You may be seeing it want to start charging at 11:00 because that’s what it has calculated it needs to do in order to hit your desired state of charge with the greenest/ cheapest energy. My overnight charges don’t normally start until the early hours but I have also scheduled daytime charges and these have completed successfully ie been recognised by Ovo at the cheaper rate.

    Hello @simongrigg 

    How did you get on? I’m in a similar situation. Connected the car ok, but the car didn’t charge!!!

    Also couldn’t connect to it at all until I went to it this morning. 
     

    It’s not the signal as I’ve been parking there since I got the car a month ago and have always been able to connect to it.
