Changing a charger's status light brightness

How to change status light brightness of your charger

Your charger's status light may be a bit bright at night. With Plugchoice, you can change the brightness yourself.

Changing the brightness in the settings

If Plugchoice supports this for your charger, you find it in the settings.

App

Go to Chargers > Settings > Display & LED.

Web portal

Go to Chargers > [your charger] > Settings > General > Display & LED.

It's not possible to set a timer for day and night. You can only set one brightness level.

Changing the brightness via advanced settings

If the setting is missing for your charger, Plugchoice doesn't support it for your model. You may still be able to change the brightness yourself with advanced settings. For both, you need data access to the location.

Via parameters

Your charger may have a parameter for this.

To find it, go to Chargers > [your charger] > Settings > OCPP parameters.

Via commands

If you can't find it in the parameters, the charger may have a configuration key for it that is not listed. You have to know the key. Then go to Chargers > [your charger] > Commands, select Change OCPP setting (ChangeConfiguration), enter the key and its value and press Execute.
