[legacy] How do I set up Intelligent Octopus?

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:

• The model of charger you have installed
• Which car you will be charging (if you have multiple cars, you can switch car profiles in the Ohme app)

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.
