Sheduled Charging
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.

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.
This is under "Scheduler"? I see the ability to set two states.. "Active" and "Disabled". Am I in the right place?

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

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

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!
