Hi, The New Octopus Cosy tarrif had a double dip for cheaper electric, but Givenergy only allows for one time slot to be automated. This leads to the time slots being set manually each day - which leads to mistakes. Is it not possible to have two time slots automated for the Cosy tarriff?
GivEnergy are aware, 2 slots is in the pipeline. as is full automation, like Octopus R&D using the GivEnergy API
Thanks. Look forward to two or more time slots.
TheDragon (GivEnergy) Morning - can you tell us when the additional slot(s) feature might be released please?
gwynnej3 We fully support this now for Gen1 & 2 inverters: https://www.wonderwatt.com/multiple-schedules-smart-charging-with-growatt-and-givenergy/
gwynnej3 I am pretty sure that I've heard TheDragon (GivEnergy) say that there isn't enough memory on the gen 1 inverters to support two charge slots, only on the later inverters.
I know its in place on the portal for gen 3 and AIO's, and (?) coming soon for Gen 2.
If there is limited memory on the gen 1, it would seem to me that more people would want 2 charge slots than 2 discharge slots that there is currently available on the gen 1, but whether it is even possible to change this I don't know.
So if you have a gen 1 inverter you may need to look at a 3rd party system still like WonderWatt, Octopus R&D or Home Assistant.
How do I tell if my inverter is 1 or 2?
It can now be done with an Android app.
