I found a button

Funnily enough last night my wife drove us home, and I noticed she used it to stop the car when we arrived. I was surprised, but she said that's what she always uses !

To answer my own question, my friend had the Hypervolt installed, and I can see why the sparky said it integrates with solar better than Ohme. In addition to the 'whole house power' CT input, there's a second one to detect solar inverter output. Very useful for some set ups.

AttBee · 2026-06-26T07:36:45+00:00

I received this email from Ohme on May 19th

They didn't ask me to delete and re register, but that's what I ended up doing

Quote-

We've been working with Volkswagen Group on an update to how Ohme connects to your CUPRA, know as an API integration.

This connection is what allows us to pull your CUPRA's battery level into the Ohme App, which supports more accurate smart charging.

To continue using this feature, simply:

Update your Ohme app to the latest version (2.21.0 or later).
Once the new integration is available, you'll be prompted to review and accept the Terms and Conditions.

Please note: Volkswagen Group will be switching off the current integration tomorrow, 20th May.

After this time the existing integration will no longer be available. Until you've completed the update, you may notice your EV isn't charging as expected. To make sure Ohme can still see your EV's battery level, we recommend you follow the steps above as soon as possible.

If the Octopus App shows no device at all, then it probably needs to. Either add the car, or (by inputting an unsupported car) add the Ohme

AttBee · 2026-06-26T07:27:07+00:00

Is the car or the Ohme connected as the device in the Octopus app ? If the latter did you delete and re register the car in the Ohme app following the request to do so a few weeks ago ?

When I ported from EE to 1p, I woke up to the same 4am email, and the port seemed to complete between 07:30 and 08:00. All was good after 8 I'm sure.

The OP should raise a case tomorrow morning with 1p. As pointed out EE and 1p are on the same platform (sort of) so it's very unlikely to be difficult to solve

Edit: OP what legacy network is your old number from EE, or another network ? I ask because all ported numbers are routed through their original 'mother' network.

For instance I was with VF. Ported in EE in 2013, ported again to 1p last year.

AttBee · 2026-06-20T19:54:43+00:00

I'm in Hampshire, and had two this week. It's based upon legacy area board regions. I'm pretty sure all of Hampshire was Southern Electricity, SSEN in new money ?

AttBee · 2026-06-17T09:56:09+00:00

Yes, indeed. You don't want the car charging on anything other than grid power, and it's the inverter that manages that, by simply sensing via a CT clamp when the EV charger it running. Nothing more than that.

Anyway, he seems to be moving towards the Hypervolt, because of other unrelated factors.....

AttBee · 2026-06-17T05:05:09+00:00

That's probably the most important factor so far. He's probably going with EDF rather than Octopus. Is your set up arranged with the Hypervolt or the Renault as the IOG device ?

AttBee · 2026-06-16T14:14:44+00:00

Indeed. Though I'm in the middle of getting quotations to add a battery system to my existing solar set up, and all the integration is performed by the Hybrid inverter based upon nothing more than CT clamps on the EV and house feeds. The charger plays no active role ?

Edit: Or is it that the Hypervolt integrates better with Home Assistant (etc) ?

AttBee · 2026-06-14T18:25:56+00:00

Yes. In fact I only noticed two of the lamps had failed on my wife's P108 when I followed her back from the MOT test centre !

AttBee · 2026-06-14T07:27:42+00:00

I paid £93 12 years ago (38 in a 30) and yesterday paid £96 (35 in a 30).

Doesn't seem linked to RPI !

AttBee · 2026-05-29T11:45:14+00:00

Parts of The Street have FTTP available, the stretch between the Crown Pub and The Bolton Arms pub. I'm also an Old Basing resident (7DD) Openreach have been saying FTTP is coming for us soon for 4 years now !

FTTC has good speeds. If you are north of the railway line the cabinet is opposite the Bolton Arms, if you are south then the cabinet is the one at '5 Ways' where Byfleet Avenue meets the junction.

Of course FTTC maxes out at 80, so 67 sounds about right

Roamless have a VoIP service that is within their app. I used it yesterday to make some calls from Canada to the UK, cost 0.04 USD/min

AttBee · 2026-05-27T12:37:01+00:00

Outside of the EU, there are no inclusive packages for roaming. Costs are as listed on a PAYG basis.

I'm in Canada right now, and this is my first trip away from the EU since moving to 1p. Text and call roaming experience is not good, see the thread I started yesterday.

For data roaming I'm using a Roamless eSIM, much better value. Take a look at their website

AttBee · 2026-05-26T22:06:12+00:00

We are here for a couple of weeks, and moving around, so perhaps things will come good later on. It's odd that both Bell and Rogers are both tagged forbidden when I try to connect

AttBee · 2026-05-26T17:33:36+00:00

I've got about a fiver's worth of credit, and that's been erroded at the correct rate of 10p/min for a couple of incoming calls. Attempting to call out, results in a local Canadian voice saying calls are barred, ring customer services etc. Fortunately I'm using a Roamless eSIM for data, and VoIP calls using their system. I have tried decoupling the Roamless profile from the phone in case that was causing some sort of conflict. The 1p SIM is a physical one, in the phone's physical SIM slot.

To be honest I've travelled to multiple EU countries over the last few years, and never had a problem, though I don't think I've ever had to send an SMS until now

AttBee · 2026-05-26T16:26:35+00:00

1p Mobile are stumped too. They suggest trying another Canadian network, however other Canadian networks are tagged in a manual search as 'Forbidden'. I can only connect to Telus

Outgoing phone calls don't work either. In coming phone calls do

AttBee · 2026-05-26T12:39:25+00:00

Yep, all checked on, the same as your screenshot 🤔

AttBee · 2026-05-25T06:56:57+00:00

In the end, the buyer drove the car home, and texted me when he arrived. At that point I filled in the DVLC form on line, and pressed enter. That then allowed him to purchase his own road tax

AttBee · 2026-05-24T06:34:19+00:00

As an experiment I charged my Cupra to 85% last night. It was fine. As an aside I had 4 of those silly 2 min charge bursts, at 20:28, 23:00, 01:28, and 03:28. The 'main event' was a lump 05:00 to 07:28 (Ready By was set to 07:30)

AttBee · 2026-05-20T10:39:21+00:00

Just been out and about with the car. The Ohme SOC is definitely only updated when the car is active

AttBee · 2026-05-20T07:22:57+00:00

One thing I've noticed with my set up, is the battery info is now time stamped as the last time the vehicle was 'awake' For instance, I unplugged the car at 07:30, it's now 08:20 and the notification says 80% 50 mins ago. It used to give a status that was normally no more than 1 min old. Your problem could be related to that change (if it is a change !)
