With the good solar charging days gone, I've decided to take advantage of my Octopus account's cheap period and charge the battery from the mains each night.
So, I logged in on my PC and followed the trail My Inverter - Settings - Timed Charge.
There is a problem there that I cannot find a way to get past.
My Octopus cheap period runs from 23:30 to 05:30 and this means I need to set up 2 charging slots 23:30 to 23:59 and 00:00 to 05:30 but there is only 1 slot available and I cannot see a way to generate a seccond slot.
I thought that filling in the details for Slot 1 and clicking the Submit button would move the settings into a table and present me with a new, blank slot, but that did not happen. The submit button simply blanked out and the details I entered remained visible.
Can anyone point me to a solution? In the meantime, I have entered the lonmger period, 00:00 to 05:30 into slot 1 to make the most of what is apparently setable.
OR...
Should I be using Smart Scheduler in the App?

Not sure if the issue is equipment version specific, ie you only have one charge slot available. But you can have multiple in the beeb app

I have mine charging from 23.30-05.30 set on the Giv app and on Rubikubes app. Gen 1 5kw.

ed-form I have an GE AC3 inverter and use one slot for 23:30-05:30 (Octopus Intelligent Go tariff) without issue.
