It would be good to include in the guide what flashing blue yellow and purple indicators mean, and what to do if the setup pauses when trying to establish a connection with the house WiFi.
Ok, not sure exactly what I did but chose reset WiFi firmware and I think that nudges the WiFi to connect to my home connection and you can see the different IP address and a green tick on the network page of the evse site on my phone, the blue then purple lights stopped flashing and just the solid green remained and when I restarted my phone connection I got an initial start wizard on my phone which I hadn't seen before I went through that and all now seems well. The time has now automatically updated to the correct time too. Have tried the charger on my leaf and it seems on first impression to be working fine. Haven't tried any of the timer functions yet.
If I restart the WiFi firmware from my phone the unit restarts and flashes blue for a while before changing to flashing purple again. The solid green colour is always there
I have started my box and connected to it using the default password of open evse, but when I try and connect to my WiFi I just get a red bar across the screen saying "connecting please wait". While this is happening there is a solid green light and a flashing purple light coming from the unit. If I look at the network connection on my phone I don't see the new numerical IP address, just the original openevse-xxxx address and it flashes websicket disconnected or something like that momentarily now and then
The self threading screws needed quite a bit of torque to get them to thread through the aluminium. A good fitting screwdriver is required, if by any chance you had a tap of the right size I would tap the holes first for ease.
Why is it better to mount the orange leads to the top rather than the bottom? Might also be worth explaining that one of the grey leads is longer than the other so it fits the orientation of the relay, but I am assuming that otherwise there is no difference between them?
