IMPORTANT: Breaking change! V4.x recommends a minimum of 7.1.2 of the OpenEVSE controller firmware, some features do not function with older EVSE controller firmware.

Note: V4.x is not yet supported by Emoncms Demand Shaper

  • Initial OCPP support #182
  • Add support for State of Charge (SoC) display: MQTT & Tesla data source currently supported #198
  • Vehicle state now displayed on LCD 263e0ec
  • Publish solar PV divert values to Emoncms #204
  • Improve WiFi reliability when signal is poor #209
  • Fix checking removing existing timers set via MQTT/RAPI when upgrading from V3.x
  • Fix simultaneous use of solar PV divert and timers #213
  • Improve physical push button override: #214
  • Fix UI lock-up issue #169
  • Block set-timer $ST RAPI commands that will interfere with WiFi module schedule manager*: 8142002
  • Add option to adjust WiFi V1 LED brightness - mainly effects OpenEVSE with clear enclosure
  • Fix NTP update #222
  • Fix GUI hanging after update #221 Note: these changes will only help after upgrading to a firmware with these fixes.

* Note: V4.x is not compatible with Emoncms Demand Shaper. In the future, the smart schedule features of Demand Shaper will be integrated into OpenEVSE directly #4
