Hello, This may be a dumb question but I can't fathom how to make use of the free electric tomorrow morning on Octopus. FREE between 7-9 Sunday 24th Nov.

So here's the problem. I've set my 7kW Zappi to kick in 7-9 (so I don't have to get up at 7 and plug in); but when I plug the car in Octopus creates a charging schedule over night meaning I'm not using the free electric.

All I want to do is disable the octopus schedule so the Zappi app timed slot runs.

Anyone having the same issue or worked out how to bypass the schedule. All I can see you can do on the Octopus app is disconnect the device (MG4) but I'm not sure if that is the answer.

Help....
TIA

Have found the answer You can disable in the Octopus app stop, under settings / disconnect / stop smart charging. Device is still onboard but Octopus can't control the charging schedule. Easy toggle on/off. Hopefully the Zappi app with perform as planned.
