Rhynri Posted January 12, 2015 at 03:17 PM Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 at 03:17 PM How does the router installation work? Is it plugged in outside the box somewhere, or how does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnBry Posted January 19, 2015 at 08:17 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 08:17 PM Yeah it is outside the box. The router is tiny but there's just not enough space inside the box to fit it in a place where I would be comfortable it wouldn't possibly interfere with the charger's function. It might be possible to take it apart and fit it that way but I just slapped it on top. And 3D printed a cover that also has some indents for the cord to hang in so it looks like it has a purpose other than hiding a box inside of it.

Rhynri Posted January 21, 2015 at 03:41 AM Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 at 03:41 AM Wowza. That's quite the setup. Would you mind linking what router you used, for myself and future visitors? Also, for the router setup, I remember seeing a how-to on the OpenEVSE site. Did you follow that one, or are you just that awesome? :worship: Hybridbear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnBry Posted January 28, 2015 at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 at 02:01 PM It is a GL.iNET Smart Router, but anything that runs OpenWrt will do. I used the GL.iNET because it has headers for +5V input, RX/TX and a few of the other GPIOs and I was hoping I could use them to be able to update the OpenEVSE firmware and not need any other components. I couldn't get it to work for software reasons though. A hootoo HM-TM02 also would work in this configuration but requires a bit more setup to get going. Basically it is just the GL.iNET router -> USB Serial cable -> OpenEVSE with my luci-app-openevse package. There's more information in the OpenEVSE group about what I did:https://groups.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/openevse/F7tWYQUucUc Rhynri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
