Yes, starting it manually works fine so, while it's annoying to not have it work as intended, I can at least use that as a workaround.

Moment of truth this morning! After checking everything yesterday, I awoke excited to see if it had worked as expected. And had it?! ... No. So now I'm stumped.

Yes. Well, the app said it had sent it. Whether it actually made it there or not is presumably the crux of the problem.

Sure, but my confusion was that it said neither (at first), implying it was missing some parameter value.

Right, I see. I haven't done anything different this time, to what I'd done the other times, except for going out to the car and checking what was set in there... So it'll be interesting to see if it works. edit: Although the climate in the car was last set to 20, not 19.

Well, it was enabled anyway so I haven't touched it. I just enabled my timer for 0600, sent it to the car then, after it'd sent successfully, walked out to the car to see what it looked like. Timer in app: View in car when I first got in (note: the '--c' is curious...): And after PCM had...

Thanks for the suggestion. I've just had a look in my app and I can get the day names, like in your screenshot, if I enable 'Repeat' (the top option, 'Herhaling' in Dutch it seems, you learn something every day!) I think I have 2 things to try: 1. Check the preconditioning option in the car's...

Yes I keep meaning to disable it... Interesting. Do you have the 'preconditioning' option enabled in the battery screen as suggested above by EVFan?

My Range Rover takes 30mins to pre-heat the cabin using the little diesel heater so I’m not *that* surprised by the 60mins the Taycan seems to want

That’s interesting, thanks. My car starts preconditioning when I unlock it from the fob (regardless of timers being set), I’d assumed that because it did that, I had all the necessary ‘car-side’ settings enabled. I’ll have to go check what’s enabled now.

Forgot to add this is how the detail of the timer looks

Thanks @SergeyIndy , be interesting to see if it does make a difference.

Isn't that exactly the point? :CWL:

I was going to say, I had actually enabled the timer :)

It’s as simple as it gets. Got to 0550 as I was getting ready to leave and nothing had happened. I only want it to pre heat the cabin to defrost the car, I’m not expecting it to pre heat the battery etc.

A few times now I’ve set my preconditioning timers for times I need to leave, as the tooltip in the app suggests. 10mins before the time I’ve set, I check the app and nothing’s happened. I’ve had to enable preconditioning manually to get it to do anything. Have I misunderstood how the timers...

I did my first ‘long’ trip in my Taycan over the last two days and thought I’d use the PCM nav on the way home after using CarPlay on the way out… What a mistake 😂 It crashed and restarted 4 times in my 1.25 hour journey. Usually the crash was preceded by the route freezing while the car...

This is essentially what I’m doing and it works well.

That’s my guess but I wasn’t sure if they’d get a callback from the Hypervolt to know whether the car’s been unplugged or not. But I suppose they must do, having thought about it some more. Thanks for confirming. User error!

Yeah that’s how I have mine set up; Octopus controls the Hypervolt not the car, because I’d read all the problems here with them controlling the car! It’d all worked well so far, just this problem overnight but maybe I’m just doing it wrong and need to unplug / replug if I want a top up?
