Troubleshooting
Did you set everything up correctly, but the charger still remains "Pre-registered"?
The chargepoint ID in Plugchoice must exactly match the Charging station ID.
Check for spaces or a trailing slash in Supervision URL.
The charger needs its own internet connection after configuration.
Rebooted? Wait 5 minutes, then check again.
