How do I connect my Sync EVT77G EV Charger to my home Wi-Fi for smart charging?

[RicardoMarie]

Connecting your Sync EVT77G EV Charger to your home Wi-Fi network unlocks its smart charging features. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Download the App: Begin by downloading the "BG EV Charging" app. You can find it through the Installer Portal on the syncev.co.uk website, or by using the QR codes provided with your charger.
2. Enable Bluetooth and Open the App: Make sure Bluetooth is active on your smartphone or tablet, then open the BG_EV_Charging App.
3. Enter Charger Credentials: In the app, select your charger by entering its unique ID code (found on the charger's identification label). Use the default password "12345678" when prompted.
4. Choose Your Connection Method: You have options for connecting your charger: Wi-Fi, 4G, or LAN. Select only one. For Wi-Fi:
   • Choose your home Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list.
   • Enter your Wi-Fi password. For LAN:
   • Ensure that "LAN DHCP" is enabled. For 4G:
   • The setting is usually pre-configured.
5. Set Server URL: Choose the appropriate Server URL: "Home Charge" for home charging or "Commercial" for other purposes.
6. Adjust Output Current: Adjust the "Output Current" setting to the maximum current supported by your electrical installation. If your installation supports less than the default 32A, lower the setting accordingly.
7. Select Charge Mode: Select your preferred "Charge Mode":
   • "APP" for smart charging, controlled via the consumer app.
   • "Plug and Charge" for standard, non-smart charging.
   • "RFID" for RFID-authorized charging.
8. Configure Load Management (if needed): If you require dynamic load management:
   • Enable "Power Distribution".
   • Set the "Sampling Method" to "CT".
9. Set Current Limit: Set the "Maximum Current Limit" to match or be less than your main fuse rating. This is essential for load balancing.
10. Apply Settings: Press "Set" to save and apply the settings. The charger should beep to confirm.
11. Verify Network Connection: Within two minutes, the charger's indicator light should turn from yellow to blue, confirming a successful network connection. If it remains yellow, try power cycling the charger and double-checking your settings.
12. Troubleshooting (If connection fails): If you cannot establish a network connection, but you still need to use the charger, change the "Charge Mode" to "Plug and Charge" and press "SET" again to update the settings.
