Control your home charger from your phone and charge your car on solar or in the cheapest hours. Charge on solar and in cheap hours - Charge only on what your solar panels have to spare, or always charge a little and faster when there is solar to spare. - Dynamic tariffs: charging follows the day-ahead price per quarter hour and starts on its own in the cheapest hours. - Day and night schedules for a fixed day and night tariff. - Load balancing: a connected meter measures what your home uses, and the charger slows down before your main fuse trips. Works with your charger Plugchoice works with OCPP chargers from more than 300 brands, depending on model, firmware and configuration. If your charger is already connected to another platform, for example your employer's, Plugchoice relays that connection and the billing carries on. Control from your phone - Start and stop from the sofa. The charger responds within a few seconds. - Lock your charger so no session starts, or let it start as soon as you plug in. - Add charge cards and give each one a name. - See every session with start time, card, kWh and duration. - Invite your household with their own login. Each person sees their own sessions. Connect your smart home Twelve smart home and automation platforms can control your charger through Plugchoice. Questions? Chat with us in the app.

GTK-Field is a field logging app for geotechnical site investigation. It works alongside you on site: record, describe, photograph, and produce a finished report on the same device. MODULES Trial pit with layer log and profile column Core drilling Dynamic probing Infiltration test Plate load test, dynamic Plate load test, static Sieve analysis with grading curve Sampling with lab tracking Site walkover General survey TO STANDARD Soil description and symbols to EN ISO 14688-1/2, presentation to DIN 4023. Probing to EN ISO 22476-2, sampling to EN ISO 22475-1, infiltration to OENORM B 4422-2. Static plate load test to OENORM B 4417 or DIN 18134, assessment to RVS 08.03.01 and RVS 08.15.01. The standards profile can be switched between Austria and Germany for each project. IN THE FIELD The app works entirely offline. All data stays on the device. Coordinates and elevation come from GPS or are entered by hand, photos belong to the exploration point. Reports are generated as PDF and can be viewed and shared directly on the device. ORDER Exploration points and samples receive sequential identifiers, and sample numbers are unique within a project. A sample register lists every sample of a project, with or without lab results. A combined export summarises the whole project with continuous page numbers. FREE GTK-Field is completely free. No subscription, no unlocking, no ads. NOTE GTK-Field is developed privately and is not a service of a chartered engineering practice. Calculated and estimated values must be checked by the user; professional responsibility for logging and interpretation remains with the user.
