Your charger will still work without Wi-Fi, but it will operate in basic mode, including charging schedules and solar integration. These can all be configured via local control when you're within Bluetooth range (approximately 5 metres)

‍
To remotely change smart features like remote control, charging schedules, and receive firmware updates, your charger must be connected to the internet. You will also need a strong and stable Wi-Fi connection to use the smart tariff's, such as Octopus Inteligent.

Key Benefits of Wi-Fi Connection

• Enables remote control via the Simpson & Partners app
• Allows automatic firmware updates
• Supports smart tariffs (e.g. Octopus Intelligent, Agile Octopus)
• Allows live data viewing, charging history, and notifications
• Makes diagnostics and support faster

What You Can Still Do Without Wi-Fi

• Set up features like scheduled charging, solar charging, and cost tracking using Bluetooth
• However, these settings can only be adjusted when you're within Bluetooth range (approximately 5 metres)
• No remote access, automatic updates, or online diagnostics

Summary

Your charger will still operate without Wi-Fi, but connecting it unlocks its full smart capabilities.
Wi-Fi enables remote control, updates, smarter tariffs, and better support — giving you the best experience with your charger.
