Autoaid

Updated

You can connect your Autoaid wallbox via the OCPP interface to charge using PV surplus or control it manually.

Preparation & Important Note

To connect the Autoaid to our app, you must activate the wallbox's OCPP backend. According to the manufacturer, the setup process differs based on the production date:

  • Older models (up to March 2023): Configuration is performed via the EVSE Mesh App. (A firmware update may be required first).
  • Newer models (from April 2023): Configuration is performed via the Access Point mode in your browser.

A. Setup for newer models (from April 2023) via Access Point mode

Before starting the setup, you must connect your wallbox to the internet and install the latest updates. In our experience, the following procedure is recommended:

1. Disconnect the wallbox from the power supply for 10 seconds.

2. After restarting, the wallbox will open a Wi-Fi hotspot.

3. Log in to the Wi-Fi hotspot using the password admin123.

4. Open your browser and enter the wallbox's IP address (192.168.4.1) in the address bar.

5. You can then log in to the wallbox menu using the PIN found on the last page of the manual.

6. Click on [Network settings] and enter your Wi-Fi name and Wi-Fi credentials.

7. Copy the OCPP link from our app and add it as the server in the [Network settings]. It is important that the URL begins with wss:// and includes port 443, as shown in the image.

8. The wallbox will automatically append its ID to the URL. Click [Confirm] to save the settings. Important: Please restart the wallbox once after this change! It will then connect to the backend.

9. Ensure that load management is disabled.

10. Also, ensure the "App Control" jumper is set correctly. See the following video: https://youtube.com/shorts/8RpIeKQWmCA?si=LDW-hlTJQ5eSke68

B. Setup for older models (up to March 2023) via EVSE Mesh App

1. Check if the wallbox firmware is up to date and perform an update if necessary.

2. Open the EVSE Mesh App on your smartphone.

3. In the settings, enter or update the OCPP server (our OCPP URL including port 443 and the wss:// prefix).

4. Important: Please restart the wallbox once after the change for the settings to take effect.

Completing the setup

11. The wallbox will then appear in our app, selectable by its serial number. If it does not appear, you can cancel the setup in our app and restart it. It may take up to 10 minutes for the wallbox to connect successfully.

⚠️ To receive the initial status from the wallbox, you may need to start a charging session.
