The way Charge Anytime worked when I used it with the car being used to control the charge rather than the chargepoint was as follows.-

Car app -used to control the car schedule etc.
Chargepoint app - used to control the chargepoint settings.
Charge Anytime App- used to set the desired state of charge and ready-by time.

You need to control the car yourself but also Charge Anytime needs to control the car although the extent of this may vary from vehicle to vehicle.

When setting up the Charge Anytime App (something you shouldn't have had previously) you'll enter the credentials for your car app so that Charge Anytime can access the car's SoC and use certain functionality within the car to start and stop charging.

The system works with a bit of a delay which xan be frustrating if you tend to fiddle with things.

Thanks. I've set up the charge anytime app, it can see my cars soc, and I can set a level of charge required.

I'm just wondering that if I've now deleted my ohme account, as instructed, that I can't see the ohme chargers status etc. I've also just noticed that the charger says buttons locked, unlock with app, well, I cant do that now lol.

 

I thought Ovo was no longer properly supported by Ohme (or the other way round)...? The Ohme app will work regardless of where the electricity is coming from, but won't interface to any unsupported smart tariff.

If you want to change tariffs, and keep the Ohme, switch to Octopus. Happily supports the Ohme.

I had OVO Charge Anytime with an Ohme Pro.

I had to delete the Ohme account in the Ohme app, then set it up again but not setting up a tariff on it.

I can’t setup my VW Golf GTE as OVO won’t support it.

So I now just plug the OHME into the car and it charges.
