Has anyone else lost Octopus(UK) API prices in VRM today (29/08/26)?
Hi I lost access when Octopus changed me onto the charge cap for IOG and nothing I have tried has got it talking again. Worked perfectly until this change. I have just had to move to fixed prices now.
Thanks Dave,
Its reassuring that there is an explanation for the sudden loss of forward half hourly kWh rates.
I changed my VRM settings yesterday back to fixed time based kWh rates, to get back off-peak charging / peak export discharging.
Hopefully the VRM API interface is developed soon, to deal with the impact from the 6 hour charge-cap change.
Thanks again.
I have now switched from Octopus outgoing to Octopus Agile outgoing and these prices are also not updating. I have checked the VRM configuration settings via the node red DESS configuration node and VRM has picked the correct tariffs
However the schedule is not updating with the prices. Is there something I am doing wrong or is the Octopus integration broken. Is anybody else using Octopus with DESS and seeing sucess?
Dave
As I have now moved to Agile outgoing and the rate selection via the api is suffering the same fault as IOG I have written a small flow in node red to extract the data from Octopus and insert it into VRM via the fixed scedules.
It works well and will tied me over until someone at Victron looks into the problem, which could take a while as it is probably only a small number of users affected.
