Emporia Pro EV LV2 charger help
So I installed this device hardwired and all has been great. I already invested in gen 2 vue on 3 panels across my property years ago so just seemed like a no brainer decision.
So I setup solar excess sunrise to sunset and it has worked amazingly well. I also set smart saver schedule so if solar for whatever reason is not good the car will charge at night when I get special pricing which emporia found my SMUD rates. So far all is perfectly working.
Here is the problem I get hit by a train tomorrow or I’m traveling for work and my wife needs to charge in the middle of the day no solar no smart schedule she doesn’t care she wants it to charge right now, WHAT IS THE PAYH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. Now I have tried pushing the charge now button in app and that does work but then it somehow screws up solar excess from working anymore, at least that day. I’ve never waited long enough to see if it resets the following day and maybe it does. So I go in app and uncheck solar excess get out of app to save then go back in app and re enable then it will fix it.
Seems like I am doing something wrong can anyone help me to understand is there an easier way. What if wife doesn’t want to open an app can she plug in middle of day and force a charge through her car or pushing button on charge cord 5 times lol??
Just seemed to be missing the final piece to make this setup perfect for me the solar guy and wife the I need to charge now. As you can tell we are new to EV’s so we are getting the hang of it.
Thank you all in advance for schooling me up.
