Savant Power & Light App (SP&L) - Adding and Configuring a Savant EV Charger

Overview

The Following guide assumes the Savant EV charger is already physically installed. If not, follow the steps outlined in Savant EV Charger Deployment Guide.

This guide is one of several that describe the functions within the SP&L app. For links to all available articles, refer to the Savant Power & Light App (SP&L) – Initial Smart Panel Configuration.

1. Savant Power and Light App Setup

1. While on a Home dashboard, tap the Add/remove devices tile, check off EV Charger, then Save.
2. Tap the EV charger tile, then tap + to add a Savant EV Charger to the configuration.
   
   

   

   The SP&L app will discover and show all Savant EV Chargers on the network.
3. Once discovered, tap the EV Charger, then select Add.
4. Tap > on the EV Charger to begin configuring the settings:
   
   
   1. Name the EV Charger and verify the IP Address is correct and the Device ID matches the device.
      
      
      
      
   2. Verify the Max Charge Rate is correct. This value is read from the EV Charger and is determined by it's dip switch settings. If the Max Charge Rate is not correct, delete the EV Charger from the SP&L app configuration and correct the dip switch settings before adding the EV charger again.
   3. Tap Link to Panel to link the EV Charger to a Power Module. If no Power Module is used, select the breaker powering the EV Charger.

3. Tap +  in the top right to add the SchuPower account to Savant and link the EV Charger.
   
   NOTE: The account to be added must be the one used to onboard the EVC.
   
   
   
   
4. Tap Confirm to allow access.
   
   
   
   When entering the linking credentials, use the login account name and password used to log in to the SchuPower app.
