[QUOTE="Figrol, post: 550746, member: 36016"] The only downside I've found so far is that when Octopus choose to charge your car outside of the 23.30 to 05.30 cheap period, it quickly draws down from my Growatt solar batteries. This results in me having no solar battery power to run my house if the sun is not shining during the day. I've yet to see if it works, but I've disabled the smart charging feature of Intelligent Octopus and will solely rely on my i3's charging timer to limit charging to 23.30 to 05.30, which is also the period I charge my solar batteries. Thanks to Johnb2713's historic posts, I found how to make sure my solar batteries are not depleted by the car charging during the cheap period. I have read that you need to intelligently charge at least once a month to keep Intelligent Octopus, so I'll have to watch out for that. [/QUOTE]
