We're excited to announce a major update to our Octopus Energy integration: real-time Agile price tracking with automatic device optimization.

What's New

Live Price Dashboard

Your dashboard now shows:

  • Current price with trend indicator
  • Next 48 hours of prices in an interactive chart
  • Daily average compared to flat-rate tariffs
  • Cheapest windows highlighted automatically

Smart Automation

OhmMy can now automatically:

  1. Charge batteries during the cheapest periods
  2. Pre-heat your home before prices spike
  3. Schedule EV charging around your departure time
  4. Alert you to negative pricing events

Tip

Negative prices mean you get PAID to use electricity. These typically occur during high wind generation overnight. OhmMy will notify you instantly.

How It Works

When you connect your Octopus account, we fetch price data every 30 minutes. Our algorithm then:

1. Analyzes your typical consumption patterns
2. Identifies optimal charging/heating windows
3. Calculates cost savings for each scenario
4. Executes the most efficient schedule

You stay in control—review and approve schedules, or let OhmMy run fully automatically.

Setting Up

If you already have Octopus connected:

  1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Octopus Energy
  2. Click Refresh to sync your tariff type
  3. Enable Smart Automation in the new panel
  4. Choose your automation level (Manual / Suggested / Automatic)

New users can connect their account in under 2 minutes.

Coming Soon

We're already working on the next features:

  • Intelligent Octopus Go support with EV-specific optimizations
  • Tracker tariff integration
  • Price alerts via push notification
  • Weekly savings reports via email

Feedback Welcome

This feature is the result of your feedback. Keep the suggestions coming:

Happy saving!
