We’re pleased to announce the release of Firmware Update 1.6.0, bringing a host of practical enhancements to your Peblar chargers and backoffice systems.
What's new in firmware update 1.6.0?
The latest firmware update 1.6.0 introduces a range of features designed to enhance the functionality and user experience of our chargers and backoffice systems. Below is a brief overview of all the changes in the new firmware:
Local REST API and Modbus TCP API
These two local API’s can be exposed to use for local control of the charger. This allows the charger to be integrated into a (H)EMS system.
Group load balancing over Ethernet
Load balancing in a group of chargers can now be performed using Ethernet. This feature increases the flexibility in the installation of groups of chargers.
Household power slider
We introduce a slider that can be used to manage household power consumption. This feature targets markets where peak power consumption is limited (e.g., Belgium with the capacity tariff).
Multiple cable (un)lock options for socket models
With this feature, the cable can be permanently fixed to the socket charger. The socket can also be unlocked in the web interface.
Showing error code on display
The active error code is shown on the display for easier troubleshooting.
Improved commissioning flow
The commissioning process has been streamlined with additional diagnostics and configurations to incorporate new features, ensuring a more straightforward experience for installers.
UI and UX improvements of the local web interface
Improvements made to the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) to enhance user-friendliness for the consumer. For Peblar specifically, the look and feel have been adjusted to better align with Peblar branding guidelines.
Phase imbalance support in the commissioning interface
This ensures that the charger is configured in a way that it will not exceed the maximum phase imbalance caused by charging an EV.
Support of new measurement sources
HomeWizard WiFi kWh meter 1-phase and 3-phase MID supported.
Multiple improvements
Firmware updates of Peblar chargers prioritize Ethernet and WiFi over LTE, enhanced WiFi connectivity, multiple OCPP improvements.
