Ohme - Intelligent EV charger 4+

Vast improvements, still a way to go

First, credit to the very hard working developer(s) who have transformed the app over the past year into a genuinely useful tool. The ability to download charging data is a game-changer - although I have to set an alarm for 1st January to download it, as that’s the only day on which complete data for the previous calendar year can be obtained! Yes it’s still a bit ‘eccentric’. Next feature requests would be 1) the ability to save ev’s, as we are now daily swapping between vehicles and 2) the ability to change tariff (for example when using the cable at a temporary location); once authenticated to Octopus there’s seemingly no way to undo that. Weird bug that one. Thanks for listening!

Missed an opportunity

Having just listened to a podcast which talked about this app and it’s use to control EV charging from your home supply in conjunction with a very special control cable. The problem I have with this and any app that from day one has no support option in place to enable any constructive comments to be made directly to the developers. The item of comment for this is you have to create a live account to just access past page one and second without providing it with details regarding the special cable it is not possible to see the content of the details screens this is regarding the times and details of the EV to be charged. My suggestion is to have a visual demo on the front screen to enable the user to have a visual of the details required at the time of setup of all screens.
DFG a new potential customer for duel fuel account but not before I see how it all works to save me money.

Great app

The Ohme charger does exactly what it says on the tin ! No complaints but would like the ability to retain the charging history and profile for 2 cars. Soon I will be fortunate enough to have a 2nd EV on the household and only this charger. Really with 2 profiles, the app should be clever enough to auto-detect which car its plugged into, what the state of charge is and just charge based on the supply ( e.g Octopus go or similar). Currently, I need to manually switch. I would also like the option to print a report that shows which car I have charged, the cost and a total for the month for each car.

Why ? Because If I am helping out my neighbour for a bit while they wait for their charger to be installed, I’d like to know what I should charge them or given them a pdf of the cost.

Hi there, thank you for your feedback, we're really pleased to hear you're enjoying using the Ohme app! You will need to manually change the car in the app prior to plugging in for Ohme to know which car it is charging. I will pass this feature suggestion to the App Development team for review.
