Integrating your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus tariff will ensure you get super cheap electricity for any Smart Charging.
There are two ways to integrate with the Intelligent Octopus tariff, with your car or with your charger. For everyone with an Ohme charger we would recommend integrating with your charger via your Ohme account. If you would prefer to integrate with your car, your Ohme account will need to be unlinked from the charger to ensure Ohme doesn’t interrupt the charge. This can be done either by deleting your Ohme account or by submitting a request to the Ohme Team for the account to be unlinked.
Here, we’ll take a look at:
To start the process of integrating your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus tariff, open the Octopus Energy app and tap the Get started button on the Home tab.
When you’re asked which device you would like to integrate with, we recommend everyone with an Ohme charger selects Chargers to integrate with their Ohme app account.
If you have a compatible EV and you would like to integrate with your car directly, you’ll need to request for your Ohme account to be deleted to allow the Octopus Energy app to control when the car charges.
You’ll need to complete the following information:
Then, you’ll need to log into the portal shown using the email address and password you use to log into the Ohme app. If you created your Ohme account using an existing Google, Facebook or Apple ID, use the corresponding link below to log in. Once you’re logged in you will need to Confirm Authentication to allow the connection to Octopus Energy.
You’ll need to confirm you’re happy to authenticate Octopus using your Ohme credentials.
Once you’ve hit confirm, you’ll be taken back to the Octopus Energy app. The final step is to test the connection by pressing ‘Test connection’.
Tap the pink ‘Test connection’ button to start the test. Note, there is no need to plug your EV in to test the connection.
Once you’ve completed the integration, you’ll see a new tab appear in the Octopus Energy app called Devices. If you’ve integrated with your Ohme account, you’ll see that this page informs you to open the Ohme app to control and schedule charges.
When you open the Ohme app, you’ll notice the tariff has been updated to Intelligent Octopus automatically.
In order to get the most out of the Intelligent Octopus tariff, you’ll need to have an active Charge Schedule with the departure time set for the following morning.
Before you plug in, check the Ohme charger is online in the My Charger page of the Ohme app
A few moments after you have plugged in, you’ll see the Ohme app Dashboard turn blue with Smart Charging at the top of the screen and the name of your schedule underneath. This confirms all of the charge Ohme has scheduled will be billed at the off-peak rate.
Plugging in and starting a new session will trigger a notification that shows when Ohme is scheduled to charge.
Hold your finger on the notification to ‘peek’ and read the notification in full, including all times Ohme has scheduled to charge.
Once the notification has been seen it will disappear. To see the notification again unplug for 10 seconds and plug in again. This will start a new session and trigger a new notification.
If the charger is left plugged in more than three hours after the finish time of the current session, Ohme’s ‘Multi-day charging’ feature will automatically start a new session and will carry over all settings. A new notification will be triggered at this time for you to see when Ohme is scheduled to charge.

Once you’ve integrated your Ohme account with the Intelligent Octopus tariff, you’ll find you can no longer change or update your tariff in the Ohme app.
