Octopus Energy integration
Connect eligible Octopus tariff data for current rates, cost reporting and tariff-aware battery behaviour where the inverter is supported and Smart Control is customer-enabled.
How sign-up works
This integration is part of the current onboarding foundation.
Sign-up is open: choose your inverter to start, then add this integration during setup.
Start with a supported inverter
Solis, LuxpowerTek (beta), Sunsynk and SigEnergy homes create an account straight away.
Add what your home has
EV chargers, Daikin or Mitsubishi heat pumps, eddi hot water and Octopus or EDF tariffs are added during setup.
Your device mix matters
Your exact device and tariff combination determines whether the current foundation can fully support your home.
Why this page exists
Without tariff context, households can see energy data but still miss the main question: whether they used electricity at the right time and in the right direction.
Smart tariff
Mapped to the current onboarding foundation.
What 1app.energy does here
- Bring eligible import and export prices into the dashboard, with Smart Control use limited to supported, verified and customer-enabled installations.
- Explain current rate, cheap windows, next change and tariff mode directly inside the app.
- Where the inverter is supported and Smart Control is customer-enabled, use tariff data for cheap-window charging, reserve protection and export checks.
- Turn whole-home flows into import cost, export value and net cost reporting so users can see the financial result of each setup.
Why this is a strong fit
- Tariff intelligence is the control layer that unlocks the rest of the hardware stack.
- 1app.energy already has product-specific logic for Agile, Go, Intelligent Go, Flux and Tracker rather than a generic import-price field.
- Your tariff decides when electricity is cheap, so it is the starting point for every charging and export decision.
Where this integration fits best
Related whole-home use cases
These pages connect this integration to the broader home-level problems users are trying to solve.
Stop Octopus daytime EV charging from draining your home battery
Stop Octopus daytime EV charging from draining your home battery first, then add cheaper-period battery charging and wider whole-home coordination.
Solar and battery Smart Control for smart tariffs
This is the core 1app.energy use case: understanding whether solar, battery reserve and tariff timing are working together or fighting each other.
Smart tariff EV charging without home energy conflicts
When EV charging is cheap, it can still be operationally expensive if it competes with battery reserve, heating demand or export value elsewhere in the property.
Whole-home conflict detection for modern energy homes
The more flexible devices a home has, the more valuable it becomes to detect conflicts between them before they show up as cost, lost solar or poor comfort.
Relevant smart controls
These mode pages explain which battery strategy usually fits this integration once tariff and whole-home behaviour are included.
Autopilot
The best starting mode for most homes. Autopilot charges when power is cheap, keeps battery back for the home, and can export spare battery power when prices are high.
Home First
A simpler home-first mode. It runs the home from your own solar and battery first and avoids automatic battery export.
