Hi everyone,

I’ve created a Home Assistant add-on for GivEnergy inverter owners on Octopus Agile (import) and Outgoing Variable (export) tariffs: GivEnergy Tariff Optimiser.

:glowing_star: Key Features

  • Cheapest Slot Scheduling: Automatically programs GivEnergy battery charge slots during the cheapest Octopus Agile rates.
  • Deficit & Non-Contiguous Arbitrage: Evaluates contiguous and non-contiguous top-N cheapest slots (up to GivTCP’s 10-slot limit).
  • Octoplus ADR 0004 Support: Full support for Power Down (saving) and Power Up (free electricity) session handling.
  • ChatGPT Plan Veto & Audit: Optional second-opinion evaluation via OpenAI.
