Hi All,
Anyone else using Capture AI following Wills video with them. I've signed up since I still having issues with the fox cloud app and the octopus api.
Had my onboarding call on Wednesday and so far it's doing a hell of a better job managing when to charge than I could. They told me solar prediction are taken into account to minimise grid charging and so far seems to live up to that. I've not enabled export yet, one for the spring summer I think.
The big change for me is how the battery is lasting longer though just better management. I'm able to make it to the next cheap rate two days in a row which I haven't managed to do myself since installing a month ago.
So far fairly impressive. What has been other folks experience?
An update to my experience so far.
Very responsive support but one issue seems to be lingering.
The battery Minimum SoC seems to drop below 10% quite often despite their dashboard having been set to 20%.
Is there any long term issues with it staying below 10% for periods sometimes as long as 12hrs? They are working on finding the issue but why is the system not maintaining 10% at the very least, despite the fox app SoC and mode scheduler set to 10%?

Thanks for posting your experience, interesting to hear how others are getting on.
Capture looks great, then I watched Wil's video about Axle Energy which looks even better, so undecided!

I've go to admit, Axel does look to have a better deal but do wonder what the payments will be post March.
I've still been finding Capture is letting the battery stay empty more than I'd like missing some charging slots, but I changed the number of battery cycles it's allowed to do per day to 2 and seen a drastic change in the scheduling. Much better use of the cheaper periods. One thing I would like though is better scheduling for when prices go to zero or below. I would've preferred it to deplete the battery more and charge when very cheap which it didn't quite do. Will ask support to look at that.
Other than that it's working better now.
