Is it possible to set multiple charge periods? I can only see one time in the user interface.

I have seen IFTTT and assume this may be able to do it? Anyone got a link to help me get started.

CraigSolar not through the app/portal, but using home assistant or the Octopus R&D app (if they're your supplier) can do this

Is there any info on 'home assistant' you could share.

CraigSolar Googl search 'givenergy home assistant' - look for speaktothegeek videos. That's an excellent place to start.

CraigSolar alternative approach is stand-alone Python code. www.github.com/salewis38/palm

https://github.com/BottlecapDave/HomeAssistant-OctopusEnergy target rate sensor function in this solution for HomeAssistant.

Allows you to define the amount of time you wish to charge over a period and it will determine the best octopus rates and times. Combine with Givenergy Local home assistant code and it's possible to turn on AC charging dynamically.

Takes some level of geekery to deploy and configure. Not a one click solution.
