I have noticed over the last week or so that the Intelligent Dispatching entity is no longer being updated when the car is charging by Octopus.
ie when you plug in your car, Octopus sees you have and sets a off-peak period to charge your car and changes the Intelligent Dispatching entity so you could detect in Home Assistant that a cheap rate has started/stopped.
Until a week or so that worked great now it no longer reflects that so have to key off the ev charger engaging or not.
I noticed this too over the past week or so. This entity does change, but seems quite out of step Octopus’s control of my Zappi EV charger and its Intelligent Go tarrif changes.
I also noticed the same problem with the Octopus curent rate entity which I use to set my Tesla powerwall to 100% reserve to prevent it charging my EV. This automation is now not working properly and my powerwall is dumping energy into my EV during low rate periods.
I will switch to triggering the battery reserve change rule off the MyEnergi status change I guess.
