Another saving session has been announced for tomorrow morning (Thursday 19th) between 9:00 and 10:00. :twisted:

Feck !, that means the in day adjustment window will be from 5:00 to 8:00 and I'm not an early riser. :?

One of the Octopus Energy's FAQs says,
"Try to shift more of your peak energy to before the Session – e.g. try to run the washing and cook earlier rather than later – and avoid switching everything off hours ahead of time."

Mine is from 10 til 11 scrub that it is 9am, I am in Germany so it changed it for CET not UK time, so just need to reset my home assistant script to do the 3hrs, might just charge my battery in this time instead of in the GO window.

No email for me either and no push notification from the app (need to check settings) only checked when I saw a Google news say that some providers will be doing the power saving

My home assistant automation didn't work so switched it manually not long ago and set the batteries to charge even though they were at 92% from the GO window
