Great charger, app needs work
The IYILO charger is great, with excellent features like temperature sensors in both "ends". However, the app needs several fixes. To make two schedules (weekdays and weekends) I had to make 4 schedules: weekend, Monday, Tuesday-Thursday, and Friday. This is because no two schedules can overlap. Also, when I turned OFF plug and charge, it warned me that turning it on would delete my schedules. It should only give the warning when you turn it ON, not off.

Thank you for the detailed feedback and for pointing out these issues. We’ll review the current scheduling and Plug and Charge behavior with our product team and evaluate whether there is a better way to handle these scenarios. We really appreciate your suggestions.
Very Basic and No Push Notifications
I like the features the EVSE has but the app is very limited. The charging sessions reports don’t show average kW rate. What it is fundamentally lacking though are push notifications. If the charge is interrupted and the app isn’t open, how am I supposed to know? If the plug or connector temperatures reach unsafe levels, I won’t get a push notification?
Update: July 2026. The app glitched yesterday and showed that the IYILO EVSE was still charging my vehicle but the telemetry wasn’t updating. The time, power rate and delivery, amperage wasn’t updating even after I had unplugged my car. I tried all troubleshooting and couldn’t get the charging session to reset. The EVSE itself was still working but the app was useless. It took a while to get ahold of customer support and they did acknowledge there was company server issues that was causing the app issues. It was fixed after a few hours and now the app is working again.

Thank you for your detailed feedback and for updating your review. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the temporary server issue, and we’re glad to hear the app is now working normally again. We’ve also shared your suggestions regarding push notifications and more detailed charging session reports with our product team for consideration in future updates. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving the app.
Easy setup
The Iyilo station and app work well together - very easy to set up. Shows great detail, all I need to know.
