How to connect: Hydra

Connect your Hydra charger to Plugchoice via the charger's touchscreen.

Requirements

  • Internet connection

  • Physical access to the charger's touchscreen

  • The touchscreen passcode

Good to know: no passcode? Hydra support can set the URL remotely.


Connect your charger

  1. On the touchscreen, enter the passcode. The default is 123456.

  2. Go to Settings > URL.

  3. Enter ws://proxy.plugchoice.com/v1.

  4. Press OK.

  5. Reboot the charger from the touchscreen.


Registering your charger in Plugchoice

  1. Add the charger using the chargepoint ID. For Hydra, this is the serial number (case sensitive).

Done! The charger should come online.


Troubleshooting

Did you set everything up correctly, but the charger still remains "Pre-registered"?

  • The chargepoint ID in Plugchoice must exactly match the serial number.

  • Check the URL has no typos, spaces, or trailing slash.

  • Reboot the charger after saving.

  • Locked out? Contact Hydra support, they can connect the charger remotely.
