Good but..

I have had the charger for about a year and I would rate it a 5 but it has changed the amperage on its own three separate times causing an overheat at the outlet. I have reached out to the company via the app and have not received a response.

Will not pair with charger

This app is complete garbage. It will absolutely not let me pair with the Lectron Level 2 NACS charger that I recently had installed in my garage.

Add Charger Manually

Not able to add the charger manually. Unable to add via Bluetooth or scanning QR code so I tried to add the charger manually but when I press that option nothing comes up.

Finally a level 1 charger with energy tracking

I just got my Hyundai ioniq 5 and my roommates wouldn’t let me charge the car unless I tracked how much energy it was using, the lectron charger works great and shows you your monthly KWH usage.

Very simple fix to make it fine

Just remove needing location. Thats ridiculous.

Junk app!!!

App doesn’t work!!! Can’t pair my charger……tried and tried

Confusing design that is not user friendly

This app is mainly designed for business owners with chargers installed to make money. If you own a lectron home charger, you need to go through several menus just to access your charger. Scheduled charging doesn’t work for me. Manual charging completely disables your schedule, meaning you have to reinstate the schedule each time.

Works well with one caveat

Great service, allows you to control charging schedule from your phone rather than having to do it in the car! Only problem is that if you initiate a manual charge, it turns off your schedule, and you have to remember to reenable the schedule, or find yourself without any charge! Hope they will update that fix that with an update.

Tracks kWh Usage

A perfect app for my lvl 1 charger at home. The app shows a breakdown of your daily monthly and annual energy usage. Since I live with my parents it makes it easy for me to track my kWh to pay them accordingly. It also tracks my current charging session and allows me to start and pause the charge remotely. I’ve never used the charging schedule so I can’t speak to how well it works.

EV scheduler works

I’ve been trying to find a level one charger with a schedule functionality. This companion app and the Lectron charger worked perfectly. I tried the competitors (all using Smart Life app), and after three returns, this is the one that actually worked. The app is easy to use, and the app even UPDATED the hardware which shows Lectrons commitment to longevity with the product. They do ask for location sharing, but in my experience (as of March 2025) you can deny the app location access and enter into the app, but it does pop up again. This functionality should be changed since this feels very demanding and intrusive the way it tells me exactly how to turn it back on. 5 Star for app functionality, but loses one Star for invasive location requests. Also, as a side note, the Lectron app appears to run on the Smart app platform with their own UI and interface.

Forces location sharing

The app forces a “share location” pop up every time the app is opened. As someone who doesn’t want to, and won’t share location with this app, it’s very annoying.

Otherwise the app works fine.
