Your Easee chargers are now very easily controlled in your app using Bluetooth.

Using Bluetooth allows you to control your charger directly, instead of sending commands to the cloud and back to the charger via your WiFi. This means you can make changes to your charger even if you do not have an internet connection.

The top left corner of the charger card will show how it is connected.

Basic Requirements

The minimum requirements for using Bluetooth are: 

• Easee app version 2.0.0 or higher
• Firmware version 316 or higher

You can check your App version number by pressing the menu button in the top left of the app. The app version appears on the bottom of the sliding menu.

You can check your firmware version in the About section of your charger. Press Charger settings, then press About. Firmware version is in the center.

In this image, the version number is 300, which is not a high enough version number to use Bluetooth. If your charger has not updated to version 316, contact support.

Connecting to the Charger

Connecting from the Charger card

If the charger has Bluetooth available, then you can connect to it in the Charger settings.

From the charger's card press Charger settings. If Bluetooth is available it will show lower on the card.

Press Connect via Bluetooth.

The app will look for the charger.

Once the charger connects, you can select to automatically connect to the charger via Bluetooth.

Press Done.

The charger card displays and the top corner of the card shows Bluetooth is connected.

You are now connected to the charger, and you can control your device directly, rather than sending commands via the cloud.

If the charger is connected to another device, you will not be able to connect until with other charger is not connected.

You can also force other users off to connect your device by following the instructions in Connecting to an unknown charger, but start with step 2.

Connecting to an unknown charger

In some cases, you may not have your charger listed in your app. It is still simple to connect via the Easee app.

1. From the main app menu, press Products, then Add, and select Charging Robot.
2. Press and hold the touch button on the charger for at least 5 seconds.
   

   This method will disconnect all users connected via Bluetooth.

   The LED will light blue and emit a small sound. If Bluetooth is already activated, the LED will turn white.

   If the LED is green, you must update your charger's firmware.

3. Once the Bluetooth is found, a list of local chargers with Bluetooth will display.
   
   The serial number listed first is the charger.
4. Press the charger's serial number to select that charger, and choose if you want to auto-connect.
5. Press Done.

Connecting without the app

It is possible to connect to the app directly from your phone, as you would any other Bluetooth device.

1. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on.
2. Press the touch button on the charger for at least 5 seconds.
   

   This method will disconnect all users connected via Bluetooth.

   The LED will light blue and emit a small sound. If Bluetooth is already activated on the charger, the LED will turn white.

   If the LED is green, you must update your charger's firmware.

3. From your phone, scan for Bluetooth devices.
4. The charger will appear on the list. It uses its serial number as its name.

Currently, Bluetooth functionality does not support the following features:

• Setting, removing, or editing schedules (though you can still override existing schedules)
• Monitoring consumption
• Performing OTA upgrades
