1. Make use of any additional cheap charging slots after plugging in outside the usual overnight
2. Stop home battery charging the car during these extra slots - this is the bigger priority
The app only seems to offer Agile integration, although with APi key out does being up the IOG details

Hello,
FoxESS are in the late stages of development for true integration with Octopus, including smart, intelligent and flux tariffs.
I recommend you sign up to be notified as soon as it's available to test. Details here viewtopic.php?t=1945
Today, you have two options:
1. In the octopus mobile app, go Devices, click on your intelligent product, then click on the settings cog in the top right.
Toggle off the smart charging. Then set your car/charger and the fox system to charge from 23:30 - 05:30AM. Only downside is that you won't get the extended slots like you do when your car is really low.
2. Install a modbus adapter and control the inverters' charge mode automatically via Home Assistant shown in my video here:

Thanks so much
I have already gone with approach 1. The challenge is one of our EVs does not have a battery charge level setting so the Octopus integration was handy for this.
I've signed up to be notified for when the tariffs are integrated in the app.
I suspect option 2 might be beyond my capabilities!

Does this mean I should stop trying to get Octopus Agile Import/Export to work properly through the app until you guys have developed it fully?

Hi, I've just had my Fox system installed and am also trying to get IOG to work. Is there a timescale for when Fox and Octopus are looking to get this finished or would it be better for someone to help me install a modbus adaptor and home assistant?

So a little while ago then. Do you have any recommendations of someone who could help me with with a modbus adaptor and HA instead then?
