| + | [title] Basic principles of operation |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] The JuiceBox doesn't talk directly to your phone, or anything local. It talks only to JuiceNet - the cloud server that crunches all the data. |
| + | [* black] The box remembers one WiFi network, and only one WiFi network. It will constantly try connecting to this last-known network as long as it's powered up, retrying every few seconds, for all eternity until the heat death of the universe. |
| + | [* black] The WiFi processor is independent of the safety/J1772 processor. That is to say, it'll charge without WiFi, and the only thing WiFi can do to affect charging is change settings - like a schedule or access control. |
| + | [* black] There are no settings or history stored on the box (technically, history IS stored on the box, but the server/app-side UX is god-awful and doesn't retrieve or process the locally-stored event and energy data). So, everything about the box is done remotely - user control, what car it is, time-of-use, cost, etc., is all cloud-based. |
| + | [* black] The only persistent settings stored in the box are three: WiFi name, WiFi password, and the "offline amperage" - known in the web interface as "Wire Rating". The offline amperage is used when the box first starts, until the box gets a run-time charging rate command from JuiceNet. Anything below 6 amps is "stop charging". |
