Product Team
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:
- Charge batteries during the cheapest periods
- Pre-heat your home before prices spike
- Schedule EV charging around your departure time
- 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 scheduleYou stay in control—review and approve schedules, or let OhmMy run fully automatically.
