Hard work
Man this app is hard work to use and seems to have little control over what you are doing. My car didn’t charge over night for some reason, pressed the boost button but now cannot stop it charging as there is no stop button. Feels like they want you to use the more expensive tariff by making you not want to use this poor app. Disappointed Eon.

Stop Auto Activate
This app was fine, worked with my Tesla and GivEnergy Charger when I needed to charge the car from the Grid. But I have to deactivate the Smart Schedule if I want my car to charge from excess Solar, a recent change seems to keeps switching smart schedule back on which stops the car drawing charge. Which then means my excess Solar goes to the grid which I don’t get paid for. Why?

Works
Not a perfect integration with my project EV charger, which needs replugging regularly, but this is likely not the fault of the app. The benefit of getting cheap power for the whole house during daytime charging sessions makes this well worth persisting with.
Slow to connect to vehicle
App is so slow to connect and communicate with Tesla often charging for 20mins or 1-2kWh of peak usage before stopping and setting up smart charging schedule. Usually need to open the app to force it to refresh. Smart schedule also frequently changes during the one session making it pointless and hard to see the benefit of the lower tariff when managing household power use.

Atrocious
I switched to eon smart next tariff to save money on charging my new ev. I have tried for days to get this app to work correctly. I put my ohme charger in dumb mode, put my Skoda app settings to default. Set my settings that I wanted on the eon app. It thankfully recognised the car was plugged in and it also created a schedule for me. When the time came it started charging for a few minutes and then stopped. It then started again a bit later on and then stopped. At this point the car wouldn’t have been ready even if it had charged continuously. Morning came and my battery was at 40% from 38. I had asked for 80. I’ve given up and just used the ohme app. Yes I’ll miss out on off peak charges during some peak times but I can’t risk the car not charging. This app is flakier than a well known Cadbury bar. It’s not fit for purpose.
