    Octopus Intelligent Charger Troubleshooting

    2 min read

    If you are using Octopus Intelligent, follow these steps to resolve common issues:

    ‍

    1. Check the charger’s internet connection

    • Ensure your charger is connected to Wi-Fi. A stable connection is required for Octopus Intelligent to manage charging schedules properly.

    2. VW known issues

    • Some VW vehicles may have a “deep sleep” issue, where the car does not wake automatically to start charging.
    • To resolve this, set the charging schedule in the car itself or wake the car manually by locking and unlocking it with the key fob.

    3. Reset connection with Octopus

    • If charging does not start as expected or schedules seem incorrect, try resetting the connection with Octopus to refresh your charger’s schedule and ensure it is communicating correctly with their system.
