Zappi charge points

the MyEnergi support team are excellent too and can diagnose a lot of issues once you've the serial number and the devices connected to the internet.

As mentioned above, you should check they are connected, that both zappi and eddi are on the same Radio Frequency (RF) Channel. I had to change the channels on my Zappi/Harvi/Eddi to avoid interference from a neighbours setup (I would lose connection to my Eddi but then see theirs, the power movements were also messed up)

One should be setup as the Master device (I think the master connects to the internet) the other connects to the master to access the internet.

Just checking if anyone has experienced something similar. I had Solar Panels and an Eddi (connected to a Harvi) installed about three months ago, and added a Zappi yesterday. The installer did a great job installing the Zappi, but had no knowledge about apps or adding the Zappi to the myEnergi system.

I did a bit of research online and paired the Zappi to the Eddi, using the Zappi as the slave. Both systems can see each other, and the Zappi appeared on the app. Happy days!

We waited until the sun came out today to charge the car using the Zappi and the energy from the panels. The Zappi is manually set to Eco mode. The screenshot from myenergi shows the amount coming from the grid (which seems very high - but maybe this is normal for an EV charger?), and I assume the distribution is being incorrectly applied to the house instead of the Zappi charger. When I try to view the details on the Zappi from the app, I'm met with a continous loading screen.

Is there a balance setting I haven't applied yet? Boost shouldn't be on, unless it was pressed by mistake.

The yellow warning box could mean the data is out of date, sometimes checking the Zappi screen gives a better reading of what's happening

Also double check against your inverter that the consumption is correct

I'd check the CT config is correct, it kind of looks like the house is using more electricity than expected

I'm also using Eco+ mode as that minimises the import from the grid

I have a zappi v1 with a tethered type 1 connector, I need to change it to a type 2.

What are my options or is there a reliable neat adapter I can use?

Apologies if already asked but who is providing the best deal for tethered Zappi at the moment?

Isn't MyEnergi doing a significant discount for Zappi v1 users to trade up to a v2?

Most homes in Ireland use the Tncs system of earthing, they must have an earth rod, it has nothing at all to do with the charge point. It's merely a box (one of many) that an electrician must tick prior to carrying out restricted electrical works.

In the Uk under certain conditions, some chargepoints (those without PEN fault protection) required an earth rod to be installed.

A little off topic.

Was at a community event last event where the local fire officer was giving advice on all fire related issues.

Advice on EVs was to have them as far away from the house as possible when plugged in.

The scary, scary piece was the number of battery fires from cheap elec scooters stored in hallways/under the stairs, blocking the escape routes, especially in house with older windows that don't meet current regs for escape routes.

They don't all lead to a full fire but its an increasing problem.

Then on PV panels, they now bring the ESB in if they have a fire in a house with PV and especially battery storage, as cutting the power at the pole or meter box no longer ensures that the house is not energised.

Sleep well!

It appears to be the latter based on what was said.

The batteries are an issue at night, plus panels during the day.

There have also been fires in the panels due to faulty wirings.

developing their skills to deal with fires from the proliferation of batteries is ongoing

Did they also advise to park petrol cars away from the house due to the much greater fire risk?

I agree to some extent with the e scooters, there's been a flood of low quality chargers and batteries recently which could lead to fires.

I don't believe it's the batteries themselves at fault, more the general risk of an electrical fire

If I read the manual for a particular E-bike brand, it states very clearly the battery should only be charged during the day, in a room with working smoke alarms and not in a bedroom. It should also not be plugged in for more than 12 hours and not stored on the bike

People need to learn to read the manual before using these products

Thanks for the responses. Had installer back out but issues still remain.

set up for eco++ and boost overnight but it’s only increasing charge by 10% overnight. Not much good if I need to go on a long journey!

Might give the company a call altogether.

thanks again

It’s set up for Echo +. Installer said it is set up to charge for 8 hrs from 11pm.

car is set to charge to 80%

How can I check the settings you mentioned, and what should they be? I’ve looked through the manual and at a loss!

thanks
