When setting up your Emporia EV Charger, you will be prompted to select your Device ID (the last 6 digits of the serial number) from the device list after following the installation guide. If no devices are listed during this part of the setup, here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Ensure the EV Charger is Powered On and Close By
Power On: Make sure your EV Charger is powered on. The power LED on the front of the device should be illuminated as a solid light blue color and not flashing/blinking.
Proximity: Ensure that the EV Charger is within 5 feet of the phone or tablet you are using for setup.
Check App Permissions
App Permissions:
iOS: Go to your phone/tablet's settings, scroll down to "Emporia Energy," and toggle on all app permissions required for device setup.
Android: Go to your phone/tablet's settings, scroll down and tap "Apps," then find "Emporia Energy" and enable all app permissions necessary for device setup.
Restart and Reattempt Setup
Force Close App and Restart:
Check Bluetooth Signal
Bluetooth Signal Check:
Android: Go to your phone's settings app, then to "Connections" and "Bluetooth." In the nearby/available devices list, look for a device named "PROV_xxxxxx" or "Emporia_xxxxxx."
iOS: iOS does not natively show nearby/available Bluetooth devices. You will need a third-party app such as "nRF Connect" to scan for nearby devices. Look for a device named "PROV_xxxxxx" or "Emporia_xxxxxx" in the list.
If you see the device in the list, the EV Charger is broadcasting its Bluetooth signal correctly. If it does not appear, ensure that the charger is properly powered.
Additional Tips for Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connection Issues
Check for Interference: Ensure there are no other Bluetooth devices causing interference near the EV Charger and your phone/tablet.
Update Device Software: Ensure both your phone/tablet and the Emporia Energy app are running the latest software versions.
Restart Your Phone/Tablet: Sometimes, restarting your phone or tablet can resolve connectivity issues.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps
Use Another Device: If available, try using another phone or tablet for the setup process.
Reinstall the App: Uninstall and then reinstall the Emporia Energy app on your device.
