Sheduled Charging

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!

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
