New features in firmware update 1.8.0

This firmware update introduces several new features designed to enhance charger functionality and simplify user operations. Below are the highlights:

 

Automatic selection of first-found HomeWizard

The charger now finds and automatically connects to the HomeWizard, without any manual selection needed. It works automatically during and after commissioning. This also enables you to remotely select HomeWizard as a measurement source after installation.

1- to 3-phase switching for solar charging

The charger now automatically switches from 1-phase to 3-phase charging when excess solar power is available. That means more of your self-generated power is used to charge your car, easing grid pressure and lowering costs.

Configurable phase imbalance in group Leader [Included for DACH]

Group Leaders can now apply custom limits to keep phase imbalance within spec. This functionality helps installers comply with local installation requirements in countries like Germany and Austria without the need for costly external equipment.

Local download of charging session data improvements

Download charging session data based on RFID tags directly from the web interface, no backoffice required. Ideal for users who need to separate personal and business charging.

Peblar Connect Hub (beta)

New interface tabs let selected installers connect chargers to their Connect Hub environment.

150A CT coil support

Support for the Peblar 150A CT coil has been added. This accessory will soon be available to buy as a dynamic load balancing kit (1 CT coil with a distribution block per kit).

OCPP 1.6 ParentID support

The chargers now support ParentID tags under the OCPP 1.6 protocol, allowing multiple RFID cards to link to a single account. This simplifies charging session tracking and reimbursement, ideal for users with multiple cards or companies managing several lease drivers.

Also improved

      • Load balancing on smaller grid connections
      • HomeWizard stability
      • General backend performance
