If you have a smart meter, and on a TOU tarif, then it is my understanding that you can do either. (if the charging station company app supports it)
Personally, I think I would let the car/myBMW app do it.

This is one of the videos in my "welcome pack" for my car.

ps. would be interested in your experiences with SyncEV if you go down that route as that is a front runner for me if I dont get on with the granny charger. When I last spoke to SyncEV, scheduling was something they were planning but didnt yet have the back-office capabiity to support it. Apparently its ready to go in the app, but not switched on yet.
