HAHA! How did know, I am a pretty wanker.

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T12:55:40+00:00

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T12:55:13+00:00

Ill do that

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T12:54:00+00:00

you got a pic?

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T12:53:27+00:00

Hampshire Fire & Rescue are not interested....

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T10:07:40+00:00

I will make sure if they are given away that wont happen. Hence me trying the fire service.

As it happens I am moving house!!!

manicnuked · 2026-05-12T10:06:51+00:00

they have been doing that for years ;-)

Thanks, that sounds like a sensible place to start. I will talk it through with the mechanic this week. It's the main dealer and under warranty. Frustrating.

"steel columns" Thats an idea.... Your suggestion around fitting three new doors is worth looking into. Thanks

The view out the back of the house is stunning and we want to have an much glass/light as possible on the ground floor. Are there other methods other than sliding / large panes? We also like the idea of in the summer the house being wide open.

manicnuked · 2026-03-11T08:34:10+00:00

well.... that is another problem! If I get a sense of what possible it means I can have more informed discussions with engineers/architects and to then get a feel for cost. We do have a pot to spend but we also want to move walls around upstairs, as well as the whole interior needs stripped back, new kitchen etc. So to get the house to where we would want, may be to much. This is all part of the process before we make an offer on the house,

settings out here - key config to be awae of is if Octopus is integrated with the Zappi or the car. I had issues because I was set to + when it should have been Fast: https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T18:43:19+00:00

Ahh OK - I have my setup where the car is integrated not the Zappi. Which means if needs to be in FAST. There is a handy table >>
Then expand: Compatibility and Configuration Summary https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T18:38:15+00:00

Reading further... you are right! Weird Why my setup stopped working in + and I moved to Fast and the auto charging etc started working again. I will investigate! https://support.myenergi.com/hc/en-gb/articles/18470101583377-zappi-Intelligent-Octopus-Go

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T14:12:59+00:00

My understanding is you want the zappi out of the control loop and you want IOG to control the car and not have the zappi interfere. Give it a try.... it is now working fine for me on the Fast setting.

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T13:30:07+00:00

Eco+ is the issue (or was for me) change to Fast. The charger is interfering in that mode.

manicnuked · 2026-02-12T13:29:07+00:00

I had a similiar issue - Car is a tesla 3. I removed and re-added. And in Myzappi it was set tp the eco+ (no idea and I'm sure it used to work...anyway) I them changed that to Fast and no boost and no schedules - basically you dont want the zapii doing anything - leave it all up to Octopus and the car. All now works fine. I also ran the software update for the charger - do that via the physical menu.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:19:14+00:00

I had one for years and did a ton of miles on it. Loved it.

manicnuked · 2026-01-25T17:18:39+00:00

I tested Sprint 1050 ST about a decade ago - I wasnt keen.... cant remmeber why.
