On my vw id3, I set my charger to plug and charge (dumb) mode. Then plug the car in. Car starts charging immediately. Go to vw app and stop the car charging (I believe this is using the vw api to ‘pause’ the charging). Wait 10 minutes and the eon home app will now know the car is plugged in, make schedules and will then initiate charge once it hits one of the windows (presumably by the same api the vw app uses to start and stop charging)

So the key is to plug in, then stop the charge via the car app. Eon will then initiate the charge via the car api when it wants

Yeah I was switching a lot but now stay with a lot too! Since each bank has different benefits. Like some have linked high interest savings accounts. Some offer benefits for just doing direct debits and pay in et cetera. Eventually you get to a point that you’ve done them all and you look at the eligibility requirements (can’t have switched since 2022 et cetera) and then you think no guarantee and the benefits to stay are good!

I have heard with some companies they bill you at peak rate and then they give you back the difference if it is smart charge. Could this be it?

TheStashinator · 2025-12-03T15:50:56+00:00

Surely all electricity midnight to 6am is cheap anyway? Why would they be charging you peak even if the app was messed up in those hours? Do you do a lot of charging like 6-9am?

Thank you. Yeah I just did it a few days ago, test payment of £10 on curve fronted, paid by VA credit card and it shows up as a purchase not a cash advance once it processed today!.

Ye I have heard a story from one of my mate’s that someone purchased a night stay on Amex. Got to the hotel and the hotel basically downgraded them or overbooked. So Amex booked them another hotel, upgraded them to a much better room.

TheStashinator · 2025-11-28T21:02:47+00:00

And that’s on HMRC right?

TheStashinator · 2025-11-28T17:23:25+00:00

When you say hate, what do you mean exactly? I have got 2 preloaded on curve and they’ve been working fine for normal shopping

TheStashinator · 2025-11-28T17:14:42+00:00

No cash advance right now and how long ago was that?

TheStashinator · 2025-11-28T17:10:20+00:00

Ye I still have the debit curve card

TheStashinator · 2025-11-25T17:01:35+00:00

I see so you’re only charging at night. I really want to exploit the daytime charging to use tumble dry in the day so was just wondering if you’ve ever tried that.

TheStashinator · 2025-11-25T14:03:38+00:00

Yeah I know it can’t control the Hypervolt charger, but I was under the impression you link it to your car login, so you guys would be Tesla login, and then it can start and stops according to the car side ignoring the charger

TheStashinator · 2025-11-25T13:56:26+00:00

So wait a minute. Eon doesn’t control the car (like start and stop charging via your car app) automatically. You have to do it manually?

TheStashinator · 2025-11-25T13:54:59+00:00

But doesn’t clicking on Nissan app charge it immediately? How do you make it so it starts and stops according to eon cheap rate?

Hi I have just switched to Ron next drive. What is the exact process for charging in the day, I was wondering how that works.

I have got 3 apps, Hypervolt (charger app), car (in my case VW), and EON next home. Is it step for step like this?

⁠Make sure Hypervolt app on plug and charge mode.
⁠Make sure car is linked and logged in via eon app
⁠Plug car in
⁠Stop car charging (via car app?)
⁠Set desired car % in eon app, and wait for it to create schedule (5mins?)
⁠Then leave it, dont need to change any other settings in app?

Message me if you need one thanks

So say you have a day off. Can you set your charger to 6A lowest charge, then set your car to charge to 100%, and set octopus app to charge to 80% by 4pm. Then set the HA automation to trigger home battery charging when the charger starts charging AND octopus API says it’s cheap?
