OpenEVSE

Requires OpenEVSE WiFi firmware 4.1.9 or later. evcc controls the charger through its claims API; the manual override on the charger (the On/Off mode on its dashboard) takes precedence over evcc; tap Auto to release it. If evcc is removed, delete its claim (client 262145) in the charger's web UI or via DELETE /claims/262145. 1p/3p phase switching (phases1p3p) only works with modified 3-phase controllers that answer the $G7/$S7 RAPI commands; stock OpenEVSE controllers do not.

Supported features

  • Built-in meter: Support for an integrated meter.
  • Dimmable: Power consumption can be reduced (e.g. § 14a EnWG). See External Limit.
