Use your NOFOS charger day to day

NOFOS chargers are set up and managed through the "NOFOS: Smart EV charging" app, which is available here:

• Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nofos
• iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/nofos-smart-elbil-opladning/id1589307196

Download and install the app. After that, set up an account for yourself if you did not already receive those details during the order.

Once you are logged in, the app always shows a menu at the bottom of the screen. From there, you can move between the main parts of the experience.

• Home: Lists the chargers you have access to.
• Stats: Shows electricity prices and charging statistics by hour, month or session.
• Profile: Collects settings related to your account.

The home page shows every charger available to you and acts as the entry point for charger management.

• Tap the relevant charger to open details and settings.

After choosing a charger from the home page, you can monitor current activity and change how the charger operates.

• Review charging details for the previous session.
• See charging details for the current session when charging is active.
• Plan charging using the green button.
• Change charger settings using the cogwheel icon in the upper-right corner.

The charger settings section lets you configure the charger in detail.

• Charger name: Give the charger a clear, recognizable name.
• Installation address: Helps the system calculate energy costs correctly.
• Energy supplier: Also supports cost calculation.
• Authentication: Defines who is allowed to charge.

• Unlocked: Anyone can charge by plugging in.
• Private: Only users with access to the charger can charge, and charging is started from the app.
• Public: Any user authenticated in the NOFOS app can charge. Billing determines whether charging is free or paid.

• Charging amperage limit: Lowers the maximum current a vehicle can draw.
• Billing: Used together with public access when users should pay for charging.
• Users: Manage owners and users with access to the charger.

Planned charging lets you tell the charger how it should schedule charging on your behalf.

• Start charging immediately when a vehicle is plugged in.
• Charge automatically when electricity cost is low.
• Start and stop at a specific time.

When electricity cost is low

The system calculates the optimal charging window each time you plug in your vehicle. The calculation is based on:

• How many kWh you want to add to the vehicle.
• When the vehicle needs to be ready.
• The maximum charging power in kW.

At a predefined time

This mode tells the charger to start and stop at the exact times you define, or when a specific amount of kWh has been delivered.

• Start time
• End time
• Number of kWh to add to the vehicle

The profile section lets you change settings related to your own account.

• Edit profile: Change your name, phone number or password.
• Select language: Choose the language used in the app.
• My vehicle: Select the vehicle you most often charge so charging calculations are more accurate.
• Support: Contact NOFOS.
• Log out: End your current session in the app.

Sessions and statistics provide an overview of charging cost and charging history for each charger.

• Cost: Past and expected cost per kWh.

• Daily: Charging per hour.

• Sessions: History for each completed charging session.

Besides the NOFOS app, the charger also supports local integration over HTTP, MQTT and low-level RAPI commands. This can be useful if you want to build custom dashboards, automate workflows on your local network or connect the charger to a broker-based home automation setup.
