WattSaver for Octopus Energy
iOS Universel / Utilitaires
Find the cheapest half-hours to run your dishwasher, washing machine or EV charger — priced on your actual Octopus Energy tariff.
Free to use, and you don't need an Octopus account to start. Pick a device, set how long it runs, and WattSaver scans every half-hour slot to show the best start time and what it will cost. Put the free price widget on your home screen to see the current unit rate at a glance.
Works with Octopus import and export tariffs, including Agile, Tracker, Flexible, Cosy and Intelligent Octopus Go.

HOME ASSISTANT, SOLAR AND BATTERY (PRO)
If you run Home Assistant, WattSaver Pro connects to it and shows live grid, home, solar and battery power, plus battery charge, in its Live views and widgets.
If you use Predbat, WattSaver Pro imports your Predbat plan and uses it alongside Octopus prices — showing charge, discharge and solar windows on your charts, and letting scheduling prefer battery charging, excess solar or peak solar periods.
WattSaver does not measure your home directly: live readings come from the Home Assistant sensors you choose, and Predbat data is read from the plan URL you provide.
WattSaver is an independent app and is not affiliated with Octopus Energy, Home Assistant or Predbat.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
WattSaver 8.0
- New Compare Tariffs screen: pick a period and any tariff available in your region, and see what you actually paid next to what that same usage would have cost on Agile, Tracker, Flexible or anything else
- The price widget is now free: put the current Octopus unit rate and today's prices on your home screen without WattSaver Pro
- You can now buy WattSaver Pro directly on your Apple Watch, instead of having to reach for your iPhone
- Fixed choosing Flexible Octopus — and other variable tariffs like Co-op and Loyal Penguin — failing with "Could not complete at the moment"
Also in this release:
- Intelligent Octopus Go: price and usage views reveal the bonus cheap slots Octopus schedules for your charging, applied to your prices and recent costs and refreshed as Octopus re-plans them
- Get notified when Octopus schedules a bonus smart charging slot outside your fixed overnight window
- View Agile Export Rates screen, with the colour scale flipped so the best-paid export slots stand out
- Compare screen: compare one period with another, including import, export, gas and overall net cost, with matched date ranges, aligned charts, totals and deltas
- Redesigned widgets with cleaner tiles, a clearer Live view, and current electricity and gas unit prices alongside your live readings
- Usage is much faster on long ranges: year views load and scroll smoothly
