Octopus Integration - Smart Charging not working

[Sycamore967]

Describe the bug Predbat isn't detecting that I have my car plugged in or that the charging slot is before 23:30

Expected behavior It used to work and I'm sure I've missed some sort of update or reconfig info I just don't know.

Predbat version

8.4.11

Environment details

• GE 3.6
• Standard HAOS
• A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the BottleCap Dave Octopus Integration wasn't showing any info. When I checked my Octopus app my Hypervolt Device and all Intelligent settings had been deleted. It may have something to do with Hypervolts updates to use their charger with Octopus. Anyway I added everything back in to the Octopus App and most settings came back. I've attached screenshots which I think point to my problem. I'm hoping I can just switch Predbat to use another sensor, I'm just not sure what to update, or if there is something else I should have done already.

Screenshots Octopus Integration sensors not available, Bottle Cap Dave senso showing next off peak start

Log file I've attached my config and a log file, plus the screenshots of my sensors predbat.zip

Ok I've had another look and can understand the apps.yaml file better now I'm not rushing. I've updated the following:

octopus_intelligent_slot: 're:(binary_sensor.octopus_intelligent_planned_dispatch_slot)' octopus_ready_time: 're:(select.octopus_target_ready_by_time)' octopus_charge_limit: 're:(select.octopus_target_state_of_charge)'

I'd be grateful is you could let me know if this should work. The history of the sensors certainly shows the intelligent dispatch slots I expected to trigger a charge cycle in Predbat and the correct charge level and ready times. The proof will be my next car charge cycle that falls outside of the normal 23:30 start time.

Looks correct to me, let me know if it works

@Sycamore967 please see the issue I had as well with Hypervolt HP3 here Make sure your car charging planned sensor and response are correct as the entity provides a different response than expected. Expected response = plugged in Actual Response = on Without that it won’t detect your car is plugged in.

Make sure your car charging planned sensor and response are correct as the entity provides a different response than expected.

I have BTW added details about checking the car charging planned sensor response to the documentation steps. It'll be in my next PR
