Octopus Agile

Hi

I've just had a system installed and very happy with it.

I've recently gone over to Octopus Agile and I've connected the API to the FOX app.

When I set a schedule to buy electric triggered by price (e.g. 2p) it accepts the price for that day but when it goes over to the following day it adjusts the price to a random number (e.g. 23.3p)

I presume it does this because the min price changes daily but I want it to charge the battery at set price regardless of the day's prices. For example, set the price at 2p and whenever it hits 2p it charges the battery, whether it hits 2p tomorrow or in 4 weeks time. A "set and forget" type of schedule.

I don't know if this is possible but it makes logical sense as you can always charge at the price you like. People don't want to be checking prices every day and setting a schedule for that day?

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi

Sorry to post on my own thread.

Mode Scheduler doesn't seem to be working. It works if it switches to a "standard mode" i.e. peak shaving but it won't switch to force discharge or force charge.

As a result Octopus Agile doesn't work at all.

Anyone got any idea as to why this would happen?

Could you go through the process of setting up mode schedule again and just check that you've hit every Confirm, Save and Apply that appears? I've been caught out by that before.
