Sheduled Charging

@Ivan Yuk Low Your screen shot shows Manual Override is Active. Manual Override will override all timers and limits.

Scheduler is the correct place. For Example If you have low rates at night between 11PM and 6AM You would set:
11PM Active
6AM Disabled
The station would be Active anytime between 11PM and 6AM
The station would be Disabled anytime between 6AM and 11PM
This is under "Scheduler"? I see the ability to set two states.. "Active" and "Disabled". Am I in the right place?

You need to define both a Start time and a Stop Time. If you Just define a start time any time is after your start time.
Wow.. no one has a need to schedule EV charging for non-peak times (ie: after midnight) and asked this question or have been able to do it?
I'm really surprised.

I think all my previous "smart" chargers would not charge when the EV was plugged in, IF there was a schedule. Unless manually selected to start a charge, they'd wait for the schedule start time.
The openevse charger charges right when I plug the EV in. I tried setting up a schedule starting at 9am and all days of the week, but it still starts charging immediately when plugging in the car.
How can I set up a schedule to activate the charge and not have the charge start when I plug the EV in?
I looked all over for this throughout the menus and did not see anything. Also, I looked for a guide on usage of the charger and found nothing so far.
Thank you!
