Has anyone moved to Octopus Energy and used their Agile or Go tarrifs. Thinking of making the change to Agile and scoping an Indigo plugin. Basically the publish the half hour energy rates for the next day at around 4pm. The pricing is based on demand and peaks early evening but for the rest of the time it is way cheaper. The idea would be to have a device to show the current electricity price in kWH and then build logic to shape demand. In very rare circumstances (excess of wind generation) they even pay you to take energy off the grid.
First use case would be to trigger car charging based on price thresholds as well as looking at other big demands and controlling it. Octopus allow people to split a finders fee of £100 for new introductions if this is something people are interested in. The Go tarrif gives a low rate in the early hours, without the risk of actual wholesale pricing that comes with Agile.
It also reports usage and gives great graphing potential via their api.
I also have a reasonably functioning Jaguar I-Pace plugin that would also work for any modern Jaguar or Land Rover, I just need to do a little tyding but it is pretty much beta ready now. It already can control charging, gelocates the car, reports tons of data about EV and ICE cars.
