I'll just put this out there as I'm annoyed and need to vent a little.
The #podpoint Solo 3S EV charger is completely and utterly garbage.
It either doesn't work according to the schedules set, forgets the Wi-Fi configuration at random times, or starts charging the car immediately you plug it in when it is set to their Smart Mode, and should only charge within the Schedule set.
I miss the #Myenergi #Zappi EV charger I had at my old house :(

My last 12 months electricity bill continues to drop ... now average -£2.53/month. This is with #OctopusEnergy #solar #myenergi and #homeassisant . This covers my house electricity, hot water and car charging. It doesn't include heating.

Some failed automations with myenergi, though, so could have been a bit better.
