I had this already, but thank you. I've turned off the charger and put it back on again, but the pod point network isn't appearing to actually get it sorted.

All solved, actually it was my fault.

When I was sorting out the mesh network in my house a couple of weeks ago I noticed a device on my network that said "Ring Doorbell" which I thought was odd, considering I don't have a ring doorbell, but my neighbour does, so I disabled it thinking he had by accident put it onto my network. No, it was the Pod Point.

Lesson learned, in a device list it comes up as Ring Doorbell, which will be very confusing if you also have a ring doorbell.

It seemed a bit erratic and then I read that an previous post to just set the timer for every day of the week and then just use the days you want to. Everything seemed happy after that. I did notice the red light recently which seems to say the link to the internet is down.so a good old switch everything off for 30 seconds got,us back on track. Posting this will be probably be the kiss of death when I go out to the car in the morning but seems to do the job.
Next challenge will be a trip to Scotland from the South Coast in the summer and wrestling with service station charging points....which ones are pay as you go...which ones do you need to preregister etc.......supermarkets just off the motorways was the tip I was given. Brilliant car though
I'm using Octopus Go and have my phone app set to every day - but only use the charger when I need to. I've recently put the charger on for about 45 minutes 4 times every night (as a result of reading another post) and currently its charging each night it's connected. Occasionally I only get 77% of the 80% set but at least it does work. I use a Wallbox Plus with my ID3..

Through experience I've found that the white charge light flashes for a minute or so after connecting the lead then changes to red. Initially I was concerned about that, thinking I had a faulty system. But I then set the charge time for 5 minutes, about 10 minutes ahead of the current time. Once the timer was ran down the red light changed to green and charging proceeded.

There is so little information available that it's only on this Forum page where sufficient information (of the right accuracy is available).
