Tariff Support

Octopus Energy offers a variety of tariffs, and most of them are fully supported by Octopus Watch. Since version 5.8.0 this includes Intelligent Go, with both upcoming and past dispatch times. A few tariffs are not fully supported due to Octopus Energy not making all the required information available.

Here's a breakdown of the support offered by Octopus Watch for each type of tariff:

#2 – Economy 7 times

Economy 7 tariffs do not communicate through the Octopus Energy API when peak and off-peak prices start. To accommodate for this the app follows the guidelines set out by Octopus Energy on Economy 7 times for smart meters. During BST this means the app will report your off-peak times as 01:30–08:30 instead of the usual 00:30–07:30.

#3 – Intelligent Go dispatches

Octopus Watch shows your upcoming dispatch times, and uses your past dispatch times to correctly calculate your daily cost and average rate. Dispatch times for the original Intelligent tariff were never supported, and Octopus Energy have retired the original Intelligent tariff.
