I'm not finding an installation guide for the WiFi module, or any information on how to configure it for my SSID and password.

I bought a set of Wi-Fi . I want to see how many Ampere now consumes openevse. how to configure it to me ? I have now shows 220 Amp

It looks like you widget is reading power in WH. To get the current, divide it by the voltage.

 

Got my WIFI kit up and running. My question is when I go to add my first widget (amp) it reads 4171 when in reality it is ~25amp. Any Thoughts?

I know the evse reads in milliamps, but why would there be another multiplier to get the correct amperage?

No, the new firmware with tabbed interface is still in development. I fixed Github, it looks like I mistakenly pushed an update to the wrong branch.

Chris, I looked at the Huzzah firmware, and it looks like you have a new stable version with enhanced tabbed web interface. Is it considered stable and production ready? I didn't see any official announcements.

 

The Wifi board sends current in milliamps. So to convert to Amps the feed multiplier should be .001.


If you wish to see in Kw the feed multiplier would be .001 (to convert milliamps to Amps) and then multiplied by voltage. If our voltage is 233 then then .001 x 233 would be .00233

I got the wifi kit working from the guide. My EVSE was assembled by Bret at BSA in Las Vegus Nevada in late 2015. I had already done one F/W update. It's BSA modified F/W (ie non stock) but the WiFi module worked with it fine. I haven't tried sending commands to the EVSE but the monitoring works fine. One problem, led me to remount the module lower down in the EVSE case and only use half of the mounting tape provided. I will try to post an interior view photo of the first mounting spot. Final location was on the oposite wall and lower down. I has worked like a "bought-one" for 4 weeks.
