Cupra app, ohme app, or octopus app? Read a few horror stories of cars not being charged in the morning.

You can only use the Ohme app to do it. The Octopus app directs you to use the Ohme app. If you have an Ohme and the use the Cupra app to do it you’ll get yourself in a right pickle as Octopus would be scheduling the car charging and Ohme would be scheduling when the charger was on.

Make sure the only device on the Octopus app is your Ohme, your car is logged into to Ohme (so it knows how much charge the car has).

Have only one active Schedule in the Ohme app with the departure time you want. Plug in the car and it does the rest itself or change the schedule from the dashboard on the Ohme app after plugging in if you want something on that particular session rather than changing the routine schedule.

If everything is setup correctly is very easy to use. Get home, plug in and it will be ready when it’s supposed to be.

The only real problem when it’s set up okay is MEB cars on software version less than 3 sometimes don’t like all the weird stopping, starting an charge rate changes that are scheduled and refuse to charge above 4kW. There is a work around for it but it’s only if you’re affected by that you’re likely to find it hadn’t charged properly if everything else was setup correctly.
