I’m hoping someone can help me. I recently moved over to Octopus Agile and would like to make the most of cheap night rates. However, I can only do this manually at the moment as there are no automation options. How do I access automation options please?

You need to add the Octopus Agile tariff to your GivEnergy Account, under the Smart Tariff card in the portal
TheDragon (GivEnergy) ive been wondering how these automation work with octopus too. Currently I'm on an old tariff when buying, with outgoing fixed to sell my surplus.
Do these tariffs only appear to select if you have already signed up with the relevant tariff? When my current buy in tariff ends in June, I'll be looking for perhaps an agile way to charge my battery , rather than eco7.
FWIW, I'm writing an app to control mine. But then I'm a programmer by trade. Also @stevelewis has this repo done already if you're comfortable with Python: https://github.com/salewis38/palm
Roberto I'm on Agile and Agile Outgoing. The portal recognises the tariff rates (although any plunge pricing periods don't show up in the GE portal at all), but the automation choices I get are 'Export' or 'Stop'. Doesn't seem to be anything that optimises import.
MattWhitfield I get exactly the same.
Some suggestions here for automations around Agile, but not in the Givenergy portal instead via Octopus R&D labs https://community.givenergy.cloud/d/1411-tariff-automations-are-empty/5
dcsh I've since discovered that they then appear in the mobile app once you have everything sussed out in octopuslabs.
