The SmartEVSE app provides a simple interface to control your SmartEVSE v3 controllers. Here’s a overview of the main options and features:
Device Management
Manage Devices: Tap the magnifying glass icon in the app bar to scan your network for available SmartEVSE devices. You can add, rename, or remove devices from your device list.
Select Device: Use the dropdown in the app to switch between your stored controllers.
Pairing for Remote (MQTT) Access
Pair Device: Tap the "link" or "cloud" icon to enter a 6-digit pairing PIN displayed on your SmartEVSE to securely link your app to the device. When paired, the app can use MQTT for remote control if available.
Main Controls
Status Display: The top panel shows current phase currents, charging current, power, energy used, and basic operational status.
Mode Selection: Easily switch the EVSE operating mode between OFF, NORMAL, SOLAR and SMART
Override Current (when available): Set a manual maximum charging current using the slider (within the allowed range), or tap "Disable Override" to return to automatic management. This option is only visible on stand-alone or "master" devices in non-solar mode.
Privacy and user data
The app does not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use its features.
After installing a unique UUID is generated, which is used as username together with the SmartEVSE serial number and Pairing pin to authenticate the device. This is only required for the mqtt (cloud) connection. No privacy-related or personally identifiable data is collected or stored by the app, either locally or remotely. All pairing and device information is kept only on your device for the sake of connecting and controlling your SmartEVSE units.
