Configuration reference

Open a charger and go to Settings. Settings are grouped into collapsible sections. Most controls save immediately when you change them; MQTT and Wi-Fi are edited as a form and saved with a Save button. Pull down to refresh.

The settings screen with collapsible sections

Safety limits (Security section) protect your installation. Only raise them if your wiring and breaker support it.

General#

General settings section
SettingOptions / notes
Device NameFriendly name shown in your device list.
DebugOff / On — verbose logging for diagnostics.
OTA UpdateDisabled / Manual / Auto — firmware update behaviour.

Security#

Security settings section
SettingOptions / notes
Max EVSE Amps6–80 A. Hard ceiling for charge current — set to your circuit rating.
Min VoltageOff, or 200–240 V. Pauses charging if voltage sags below this.
Max TemperatureOff, or 60–90 °C. Pauses charging if the unit gets too hot.
Amps DifferenceOff, or 1–10 A. Allowed mismatch before a fault is raised.

Device#

Device settings section
SettingOptions / notes
PriorityLow / High. Order when balancing multiple chargers.
Ground CheckOn/Off — verify protective earth before charging.

Algorithm#

Tuning for solar/surplus charging. Delays are in seconds (0–360) — think in minutes to avoid frequent start/stops.

SettingWhat it does
Allowed ImportAmps tolerable from the grid before stopping. Note: car minimum is ~6 A.
Import DelayWait before stopping when importing (smooths cloud spikes).
Allowed ExportSurplus amps tolerable before starting a charge.
Export DelayWait before starting when exporting.
Start DelayWait before auto-increasing amps after a charge begins.
Stop DelayWait before decreasing amps or stopping (2–5 s typical).
Change DelayWait between successive amp increases on a fluctuating grid.

Battery Model#

Battery Model settings section
SettingNotes
Pack Size (kWh)Your car’s usable battery capacity.

Grid Meter#

How the charger reads household import/export.

Grid Meter settings section
SettingOptions / notes
