Smart home EV charger schedule not working

[devbloggs]

Recently installed the smart home EV charger.

 

In the app, I have the charger set to charge at 8pm. No matter what time I plug in my vehicle, it starts charging right away.

Is there something in not doing?

I had the same issue.   You need to also set a time to turn off the charger.

For instance, I wanted to charge between 2:30am and 7am.

When I set it to charge at 2:30am, without a turn off time, I had the same symptoms you are describing.

So try setting a turn-off time of 8am or whatever time you want, then it should be off between 8am and 8pm and on between 8pm and 8am.

Make sense?

Yes we ship the chargers in a ‘Ready’ state as to ensure the charger can be truly a ‘plug n play’ option.   Once you download our app and set up the schedule you will want to make sure your put the charger in paused state.

to navigate to the control page: Menu bars, EV Chargers ,  select your charger,  tap the lighting Icon to Toggle between Ready and Paused.
