Over five months, Duck worked on the evcc-io/evcc repository, building and refining Octopus Energy tariff integrations to support both import and export tariffs, multi-account management, and robust API key validation. Using Go and YAML, Duck enhanced backend reliability by implementing payment-method-aware tariff selection, filtering out incorrect or ambiguous tariff data, and supporting new API key formats with strict validation and comprehensive tests. The work addressed real-world billing and configuration challenges, reduced support overhead, and improved integration security. Duck’s approach demonstrated depth in API integration, backend development, and configuration management, delivering features and fixes that improved accuracy and maintainability.
January 2026 monthly summary for evcc-io/evcc focused on enhancing API key management to increase security, compatibility, and reliability for external integrations. Delivered a feature that enables new API key formats and ensures strict validation, complemented by tests that verify correct behavior and guard against regressions. This work improves onboarding and reduces configuration errors for partners relying on updated key formats.

September 2025 (evcc-io/evcc): Focused on reliability improvements in tariff discovery. No new features released; implemented a critical bug fix to exclude export tariffs and require an import tariff during tariff discovery, improving accuracy of tariff selection and preventing misbilling. Impact: more robust tariff handling across Octopus tariffs; reduced downstream errors and support burden. Skills demonstrated: Go code changes, algorithm refinement, error handling, and incremental release discipline.

May 2025 (2025-05) delivered targeted tariff management improvements for evcc-io/evcc, focusing on accuracy, reliability, and multi-account support for Octopus Tariff. The work comprises two primary outcomes: (1) a bug fix for Tariff API Payment Method Filtering, ensuring only tariff entries that match the applied payment method are processed; this prevents incorrect tariff data when the API returns entries with different payment methods; and (2) a new multi-account capability for Octopus Tariff, allowing users to specify an account number to resolve ambiguity and ensure the correct account's tariff information is used. These changes improve billing accuracy, reduce user support issues, and enhance interoperability with Octopus Energy accounts. Demonstrated a robust approach to API data handling, account resolution, and traceable changes via commits.
