(Not sure whether the fact it's an MG4 is relevant, but it asks you to plug the car in while it tests, so maybe...)
I bought an Ohme Home Pro charger from Octopus themselves, specifically so I could have Intelligent Octopus.
Then I got a standard Octopus account and am currently on the Flexible tariff. As I understand it you do that, then switch tariff in the app.
I went through the setup in the app, authorised Octopus to use my Ohme account. All seems to have worked, and the Ohme app says I'm with Intelligent Octopus and stuff is greyed out because of it -- to Octopus has obviously successfully used an Ohme API to tell it.
Next step is the charge test. Plug the cable into the car. Car isn't fully charged. Tap "continue". App says it's testing and it should take under a minute. I left it for about half an hour, and it never succeeded.
Now the Octopus app says I'm still on the Flexible tariff, but in "devices" knows I have an Ohme (but has no setup options or way to repeat the test)
And the Ohme app says my tariff is Intelligent Octopus, and has "avoid peak charging" disabled because of it.
I see others are using Intelligent. Did it work smoothly for you? Are there any things you have to do to nudge it?
Octopus haven't answered an email since I got the account, either
, except an automated one (a week ago) saying "don't worry, we're busy, but we got your question and we'll get to you".
