Those with Smart Charger Connected #26

Hi,

I'm just raising awareness, as some users who use this will have the smart Charger, OHME etc control the car, Octopus controlling the charger rather than the car, this can and has caused issues for some due to the "smart charging" toggle being selected, which has then in turn triggered the Api to turn the charging off, yet that is not actually a thing for the smart charger side of IOG, would it be possible to add some further checks if octopus is controlling the car charging, or if octopus controlling a smart charger as more and more ppl starting to use Intergrations with home assistant and it's breaking there chargers

Interesting read. Am I understanding this correctly that the Ohme charger will claim a slot & then notify octopus after the fact, so that this addon would never know if the current/next slots are being billed at the lower rate?
