Here is the car charging with the rates from yesterday graphed over the top. Seems well aligned. Each column is a 30 min slot

It’s off at the moment as I disabled the built in octopus due to inaccuracy. Do you need me to enable it for a day?

Here's what I am seeing between the two dispatches sensors. **note: I only enabled the built in again at midnight.**

Unsure if this is significant but the two sensors show very different on/off behaviour. This is for 12th March

I installed latest 8.16.4 and re-enabled the direct octopus - this time the predicted best metrics cost has stayed consistent with the octopus integration way - so maybe something got...

I spoke to soon. Notice the Total Cost. Using Octopus Direct: Using the Octopus Integration:

I left Octopus Direct running all night. Here are the two sensors attributes: [Intelligent Dispatching-20250316.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19270934/Intelligent.Dispatching-20250316.txt) [Octopus Intelligent Dispatches-20250316.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19270959/Octopus.Intelligent.Dispatches-20250316.txt) -- I disabled Octopus direct now that I am clear of any...

Thanks - just wondering how that would resolve the issue where [the completed dispatches are stored for "today"](https://github.com/springfall2008/batpred/issues/2085#issuecomment-2727330498), and the predicted best cost changes dramatically between Direct Vs Integration ?

Thanks @cyberkryten I think at the very least, the Octopus Direct method from Predbat needs to reflect the same calculation of "cost so far today" as the Octopus integration does...
