I don't understand.  You're saying that a Zappi used in conjunction with Harvi doesn't count as a Zappi for the purposes of getting the Intelligent Octopus tariff?

In my opinion it starts off as expensive.  £55 for Harvi seems minor in comparison with the £1000 odd for the Zappi.

I wonder how many people would join Costo if there was just a one-off payment of £1000 instead of £ 75 (?) per year?

Havri doesn't open up the Intelligent Octopus tariff.

You know a Harvi is a way of receiving CT data wirelessly? It has no bearing on your ability to use intelligent octopus

Changed to the Ohme Home Pro after a call from the installer saying the wallbox isnt compatible yet. Spoke to octopus and apparently you need to be invited, so the website is totally wrong!

Thank goodness the installer called me for a chat.

I had a quick look at the Wallbox Pulsar Max. but could see no mention of IO integration.

Think it's a recent thing. It's listed on the Octopus site as IO intergration - https://octopus.energy/get-an-ev-charger/

I did suggest you might be wrong about the Wallbox.

I wasn't wrong, Octopus was!

Wallbox is definitely and option for me when I attempt to sign up for IO and I haven't been invited,

 Strange!  You would think Octopus would know which chargers are compatible with Intelligent Octopus.

Very strange.  I've also seen that some people who haven't been invited to the Zappi testing have seen this one on their app. (Which is what I'm after).

It can use grid, battery, solar or wind for a lot less cash than some.

Not compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go though.
