Introduction

1. Shows what’s happening now — plain-English status on the home screen (exporting, saving battery for tonight’s window, charging on cheap rates, and so on).
2. Suggests tonight’s best opportunity — export, store, or charge EV, with a reason and estimated saving.
3. Schedules your inverter — once per day after Octopus publishes tomorrow’s rates, PilotWatt can push a FoxESS mode schedule for export peaks and overnight charging.

​

Who is this for?

• You have a FoxESS inverter and battery
• You’re on Octopus Agile Outgoing (variable export), not a fixed SEG rate
• You want optimisation without living in three different apps
• Optional: Intelligent Octopus import for cheap overnight battery/EV charging

​

What PilotWatt is not

• Not a replacement for the FoxESS or Octopus apps
• Not grid-import optimisation (export-focused today)
• Not direct EV charger control yet (EV sessions are inferred from grid import)
