This is what mine looks like for ovo charge anytime. I believe octopus uses the same system, so should be similar.

enode being the profile generated by the electricity supplier. For what it's worth, my ovo app is set to 95% by 8am tomorrow. So the enode profile is pretty random, but i guess the app knows what it's doing. edit - It has also set up an timer for 100% on Friday.

No. Just having that profile alone will tell the car to charge immediately up to 25% as soon as you plug in. Once it reaches 25% state of charge it will sit and do nothing without a timer set.

This is how I set the profile last night, woke up and still didn’t charge.

Double check your “Home” profile. Specifically that your car is actually within a 1640 foot radius of the defined location (tap the address field and see where it takes you on the map).

The location defined in my profile was off by quarter of a mile and that stopped my car charging. Also make sure the inbuilt “General” profile is disabled (slider to off position).

Hi I have just got a 2022 Taycan 4s CT and recently installed a home charge point .I changed to Octopus Go tariff successfully but so far can't get the car to charge during cheap hours . i have pod Point charger and I am trying to use the Octopus app to control the charging . If this is the best way how do I control the charge using the octopus app ie what do I do with the pod point and how do I disable the Porsche scheduling as at the moment I turn off the Porsche scheduling and soon after I notice its charging! Appreciate if someone has this set up and could advise what to do thanks

Do you have a smart meter?

Can you disable the porsche charger? so I can use the octopus timings? thanks

ok so you should be set.

Make sure there is no active programming in your Pod Point (you want it to be in dumb mode) nor in My Porsche app. Then let the Octopus app take control.

If you are AC charging elsewhere (2nd home for example which doesn't have the Octopus setup) you can of course have other active timers and profiles in My Porsche app - you just don't want these to be in use when at your main charging location. Suggest to use location based profiles / timers when elsewhere.

Give that a whirl and it might just work.
