Octopus + powerwall
I’ve been using Octopus Intelligent Go with a Tesla Powerwall for a while and kept finding that I couldn’t really get a clear picture of what I was actually saving.
Most of the apps I tried had loads of graphs/data, but I still found it hard to answer simple things like:
- how much energy the battery actually shifted onto cheap rate
- whether overnight charging was really worth it that day
- what the Powerwall was doing over time in a way that was easy to follow
I ended up making a small iOS app mainly for myself to visualise it a bit more clearly:
Intelligent Power Go
It’s mainly aimed at Tesla Powerwall + Octopus users rather than general energy monitoring.
It’s free for a week if anyone wants to try it. After that there’s a small subscription which mostly just covers the hosting/API costs (everything’s currently running on Cloudflare).
Would be interested to hear if other people had the same problem with existing apps, or if there’s anything useful I’ve missed.
Thanks!
