I’ve only had my system for a month, and been on Octopus Flux for a week.
I’ve tried to set times for charge/export etc via the app, which seems only to be retained for that day, then overnight everything seems to revert to some auto setting that I can’t see and the battery is charging/discharging at random times.
Is there a setting either with GivEnergy or with Octopus that I need to change so I can manually manage these settings?
Flux or intelligent flux?
Have you got winter battery conditioning turned on? If so you might want to turn it off as it seems it messes with charge schedules and doesn’t (always?) put it back.
Or have you got a tariff card showing on the portal or app? Akak smart tariff aka beta tariff. If so press the stop automations button.
Flux (not intelligent)
Winter conditioning off
Tariff showing but states no automations running
Further info - since installing the system I have DOUBLED my energy usage because I’m taking so much to fill the battery and then not being able to use it to run the house.
You probably want to get your installer back then.
Thanks for the advice
