Up to and including version 2.0 it was purely a watchOS app. From version 2.1 on there is also a companion app - because with IOS17 and visonOS a Companion app will bring advantages in the future. However, the focus is still on the watchOS app. Please note! β’ For a first Look&Feel impression it's enough to download the App - it automatically connects to the cloud based evcc Demo System - https://evcc.io. β’ Prerequisite for real operation is to have a locally installed Solar Charging evcc System (at least Version v0.316.1) - https://evcc.io - SolVecConMon is powered by evcc! β’ App access outside of the local network requires additional software components. For the RaspberryPi 4, an image is available for download at https://jfraundo251158.github.io, which contains all software components preconfigured and thus significantly simplifies the system setup.
