I've not got a zappi. But if I did, on a bright 🌞 day with the car parked at home for some of the day. I would prefer to prioritise filling the large car battery while it's at home so as to keep a chunk of charging capacity in the home battery for later in the day when the car is no longer at...

Its personal preference really depending on circumstances and needs. Ohme works best for me.

The issue with the inverter not seeing the car charger activity during solar charging is that it will think there is an excess of solar and try to charge the home battery to match the excess. If a solar integrated charger like a zappi is being used, this will stop the car charging until the home...

I think you have a fairly unique set up that would allow 2 chargers to be configured this way. For most with one charger being used for solar, the inverter needs to see all of the house load to function as intended.

A After selecting tesla as your car brand, your given the options 'account sign in' or 'connect without account'. Chose 'connect without account'.

You could ring ohme customer support and ask them to remove the Tesla API link to the charger (assuming you previously had it linked). Alternatively, reinstall the ohme app. If on reinstating it doesn't remember your previous EV, add the Tesla but don't give it the Tesla API. If on reinstating...

Was the Tesla linked with the ohme before you deleted the ohme app? The ohme might still be connected to the Tesla, aware that it wants charged and obliging by starting a charge session. I had similar issues by not unlinked the Tesla from the ohme so wasn't totally dumb. I prefer and use the...

Having made an economic case to get an expensive and constantly depreciating Tesla, the case to invest in solar and home battery was an easy decision for me to make.

If you link the ohme to Intelligent Octopus instead of the Tesla then the location of the Tesla is not used. IO knows when the car is in the right place for IO charging at the point the ohme is plugged into the Tesla.

Plugging in the car away from home I would expect the car to start charging itself (not IO starting it) if the charger is enabled to charge when plugged into something. The IO slots appearing is however an anomaly.

In regards to the location this refers to the location of the IO account. Two IO accounts equals two non related locations. As you say, the car doesn't care. Your right it is an edge case which we all seam to have no experience of. Testing is the answer. As for doing the test myself, I'm not in...

As I understand it, the Tesla will give it's API to any authorised request and can have numerous interaction at the same time so this shouldn't be an issue. IO onboarding 'registering' of the car is just that API request being made followed by a test that it's working. The two properties have...

The only way to register a car which is already registered already is to de-register it from the account it is already registered to. This is the bit I'm not clear on. Where have you seen this?

Yeah I've no idea if this would be an issue.

? If your not willing to contribute educating us non educated (hopefully without the toys coming out of the pushchair!) then why start the thread? Genuinely want to understand what I'm missing on this as it should be the way it will work for businesses with multiple premises when we're all electric.
