Compatible Chargers and Cars for Octopus Intelligent go

Just for clarity, do you have a Hydra EVSE or a Hypervolt EVSE. I cannot find the Hydravolt Home 3 Pro anywhere. The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is a fully IO Go compatible, this means that it doesn't need any compatibility for the vehicle. One note of warning, if you do upgrade to the Renault you may want to use vehicle integration, even if you have a compatible charger, as it looks like the Renault's have a feature that puts the car into deep sleep if the charger isn't sending a PWM signal for a while. This results in IO Go via charger integration failing on a semi-regular basis.
Certainly my Zoe has that issue - the chargers that Renault used to supply had special firmware which supplied power even when the charger was outside the timed periods (I've never used the timer on the charger and actually I think the portal is broken/not communicating for quite a while now).

On the plus side, the Renault IOG integration is pretty good, and it looks official (works through a Mobilize app). I don't think it will randomly break like some of the other vehicle integrations have. I wrote a thread about it which may help @davebaxt55
