Removed “Last 30 days” summary.

The latest version appears to have removed the summary for the last 30 days. It looks like the only option is to export and sum it in a spreadsheet. Also, it would be helpful to have the ability to set rate zones by weekend and weekday. My time of day is off peak all weekend (and holidays) and 11pm-7am M-F. Option is only to set a rate based on time of day.

The 0.8.1 version did not open

When you try to open it on iPad, it immediatly close.

Bugs in V 0.8.0

I was looking forward to this upgrade to provide exportable data for offline analysis. This is now available, but very limited. However there are a few bugs I have noticed already:

1: I have only been using the app for a couple of months. The reporting gives a summary for last month (August), and for this month (also shows as August, but should be September).

2: My charging session last night was 4h 16m of charging at about 41 amps. When I last looked during the charging session it showed 29kWh used so far. The final kWh reported was only 10, but should have been about 37. The $ calculation was correct for about 37 kWh.

3: Wi-Fi was previously rock solid. It is not spotty at best. Charger is about 3m from the only access point with that SSID.

And room for improvement: charging reporting should have all the minute by minute detail. The session really ends when the car stops accepting charge, not when the cable is unplugged.

Would like to see ability for uploading data to an additional application without removing the ability of this app to manage the charging.

Adding more time of day slots for rates is great! However, we need to have day of weeks as well. For instance l, my cheap rate is overnight during the week and all day during the weekend. There are a couple of other rates during the day, but only during the week.

Overall good progress!

Finally support for mini

Just kidding. Still no support for the mini. One star for the useless app and 5 star for the best charger ever.

Mise à jour

Impossible de faire la mise à jour de ma borne

Simple and easy

I’ve had the charger for 3 months and it’s exceeded expectations, probably because of the negative reviews. The app is simple to use and always has been responsive for me. I have a mesh Wi-Fi network that probably helps on that front. Would recommend if you have strong Wi-Fi in your charger location.

There’s one request I have: When looking at charging history, the avg current should use charging duration as the denominator rather than session duration. The avg current numbers are understated with the current equation. This doesn’t impact functionality and honestly it’s the only thing I would change. Great work!

Grizzle-E app

Ever since an update three weeks ago, I’ve been unable to open the app. I try opening, app immediately shuts off and closes. Tried iPad, phone and desktop. Paid for smart charger. Not so smart without app…

App won’t open

Once downloaded I open the app and it briefly opens for about 2 seconds and then immediately closes. I cannot get it to work. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled without success

Complete turn around

Bought Grizzl-e in July 2023, and to be honest it sucked, for at least the first 6 months. But i have to say, the last few updates have turn this thing around in a big way!!! The app and the charger work perfectly. I love it !!!

Doesn’t do the basics reliably

We have peak charge rates between 4 pm and 8 pm. We need the scheduler to avoid charging between those hours. Well, it doesn’t work reliably and failed today, so we are expecting $30 dollars on our electricity bill.
If it cannot do scheduling reliably, what is this app good for? Might as well plug my ev by hand after 8 pm and unplug before 4 pm.
It worked until last week and now we lost trust in it.
Two stars for the statistics, and the new app.
Cannot give more than that if it is not schedule rock solid.
