I ordered a commando-Type2 for the Zoe and am just trying it now.
I am sure the app makes sense to someone but doesn't seem to work.
You have an option to set two schedules morning and afternoon, so I deseleted both and set the car to immediate charge.
I put the price limit to 6p/kWh and it said 'you'll charge at 10:30PM' or whatever, but on plugging in it started charging immediately.
I hit the stop charging icon on the app and it stopped, and hit start charging and it charged. So it is talking with the network, hears my basic commands, knows the Octopus rates, etc..
I activated both timer schedules to run to 23:59 and it still charged immediately even though I'd put the price limit in, it knew what times that was from Octopus, but still charges immediately.
How do I set this so it doesn't charge above a certain unit price? This is 'the' function, and yet it is even hidden away under a 'settings' icon on the schedule screen.
Doesn't seem to work!?
All I want is one screen and I set the price on it. If it is higher the thing should refuse to charge, if it is lower it will charged if the car tries to pull a charge. That's what I want! Isn't it what most people want?
