Mason PinesI'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 :(

Peter LordMy 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.

@CatherineFlick I think they are struggling, but maybe try myenergi.info forum.
My bug bear is lack of local API (you'll loose control of your devices should myenergi fail).
Still, they do seem to be pushing out beta builds of the libbi software, so maybe not all is lost.
