Audi timer charging random switch on?

[chris__1978]

I’ve been experiencing the same issue, with the in car charging schedule setting a random schedule (normally 6 days ahead) which affects my octopus set up. It is really random, some days it sets a schedule and some days it doesn’t. I just doublecheck before I put my car on charge that it hasn’t set one, and if it has I turn it off. It’s annoying, and has caught me out a couple of times and not charged

I'd be furious. Deleting the app isn't a solution, that's ridiculous. Have you tried contacting Octopus directly?

Is anyone still having this issue it's driving me absolutely insane. I have the Q4 e-tron and previously had no issues with charging at all. My intelligent octopus schedule is set up, I put my car on charge and these random timers that seem to switch themselves on whenever they feel like it is now resulting in my car not charging properly overnight. The random timer seems to be a 3.30am one so I think it's cutting charging at that time meaning I don't get a full charge. There is literally nowhere for me to delete these random timers it's so frustrating!

I’m not getting the issue, the way I have mine set up is with nothing in the car. No charge location and a max charge of 80%. I connected my Wallbox charger to Octopus using Octopus to set up (OCCP) and I connected the car to Octopus using the app as well. Other than random Audi messages telling me there is a charger issue (no mains voltage) after I initially plug the car in, it is working exceptionally well. Much better than when I had my ID3 connected just to Octopus.

It seems the way to do this is to avoid the Audi - Octopus control and use Octopus - Charger only. Though I have read about some Ohme issues as well. Wallbox works really well.

And if you only want to charge up overnight, you could avoid Octopus controlling the car and just set up a timer in the Audi system for 23:30 to 05:30.

Hope this helps
