Everything is working as it should, but come the autumn I'm going to have to change the charging time limits - Octopus set the Economy7 rates as GMT all year, and the system runs on BST over the summer, as you'd expect.
They used to be accessed through quick settings. But now, all that's there are the min and max charge level percent settings, with nothing about the time settings.
Have they moved somewhere else, or have the software engineers done what they so often do?

Should have said, I'm using the web browser app. I normally use Firefox, but I tried Edge in case it was a compatibility issue. It was the same.

I am not sure if you can still access the basic grid-charge time settings, even in the old v1 site.
Fairly certain it has been depreciated.
You are now going to have to set a work mode up and set schedules.
You are looking for Advanced to set timed charges, and what you want your system do do outside of the timed charging.

I think Google's artificial stupidity may actually have been helpful for a change, and not hallucinated some right sounding bollocks like it usually does - verisimilitude over veracity is its ruling ethos. It says I will need to change to Mode Scheduler to set up the nighttime charge start and end times, with it set to Self Use outside. However, because the current schedule, as I want it, is set in the hardware - thank god -, I don't need to do anything until the clocks change for the autumn, when what is now 1:30am and 8:30am will become 12:30am and 7:30am.
So it was, after all, the software engineers. And it's possible they may feel the need to change it again in the intervening 3 months. So it's pointless learning how to do it now, when there's no actual need.
