What I noticed
The Ohme Home Pro is the larger sibling of the ePod, featuring a built-in colour screen for live status display and direct integration with Octopus Intelligent Go (cheaper EV-specific tariff that requires Ohme or compatible hardware). The 7kW tethered variant ships with a 5m cable; an 8m version is also available.
Ohme's killer feature is the depth of tariff integration — the device speaks directly to Octopus, OVO and EDF to schedule charging during cheapest-rate windows without homeowner intervention. The built-in SIM means it works without your home WiFi. Solar diversion is supported but secondary; this is primarily a tariff-optimisation charger.
Who it suits
Households on Octopus Intelligent Go or similar EV tariffs — the integration is genuinely seamless and the cost savings vs flat-rate are substantial (typically £400-600/year for a 12k-mile-per-year EV).
What I'd watch for
Solar-divert algorithm is less sophisticated than Zappi or Hypervolt — for solar-first households, those are better picks. The Home Pro is bulkier than the ePod; if screen and 7kW (vs 7.4kW) aren't important, the ePod offers similar tariff features at a lower price.
