Suitable inverters Compatibility with the connected devices, suitable data communication and a Fronius
Smart Meter at the feed-in point are prerequisites for using some Wattpilot functions (e.g.
PV surplus).
Suitable Fronius inverters
- Fronius GEN24
- Fronius Symo Hybrid
- Fronius SnapINverter (except light versions)
- Fronius IG*
- Fronius IG Plus*
- Fronius IG TL**
- Fronius CL*
*Requirement:
- Fronius Smart Meter

Functions
Overview The Wattpilot can be used like any other charging station. For start-up, the charging
cable must be plugged in and the Wattpilot starts charging. By pressing the pushbutton
(see Pushbutton functions), it is possible to switch between the charging modes (see
Different charging modes) and change the level of charging current (see Current
level).
EN
Phase
changeover
PV surplus
The Fronius Wattpilot can automatically switch between 1‑phase and 3‑phase charging.
The automatic phase changeover enables charging with a low start-up power (1‑phase
with 1.38 kWh) in the case of a PV surplus. In addition, 1‑phase charging has the advantage that the charging power can be regulated in smaller increments (0.23 kW) and a
small PV surplus can be used more efficiently. As 1‑phase charging is limited by the car,
it makes sense to switch to 3‑phase charging at a higher PV surplus.
The phase changeover can be set automatically or manually (see PV surplus).
NOTE!
Do not exceed the phase‑load imbalance!
Select the phase changeover point in such a way that the maximum permissible
phase‑load imbalance is not exceeded.
NOTE!
A minimum charging time of 5 minutes is stored.
To prevent permanent switching of the relays and to increase the service life of the Wattpilot, a minimum charging time of 5 minutes is stored.
The surplus energy of a PV system (photovoltaic system) can be used. The prerequisites
for this are a compatible inverter in the same network as the Wattpilot and a Fronius
Smart Meter (for more information, see Data communication with the inverter).
Setting limit values ensures that the available PV surplus power is distributed to the
loads. The limit values created allow an energy storage system to be sufficiently charged
or the energy to be stored in the form of hot water before the surplus PV power is used
to charge a vehicle.
NOTE!
PV surplus regulation.
One Wattpilot per photovoltaic system.
The PV surplus regulation works with one Wattpilot per photovoltaic system.
▶
If several Wattpilots are connected to one inverter, "Use PV surplus" may only be ac-
▶
tivated on one Wattpilot. For all other Wattpilots, "Use PV surplus" must be deactivated (for more information, see Cost optimisation).
It is possible to set a start-up power level (specified in kW). This must be reached by
the photovoltaic system before the Wattpilot starts charging the car with the minimum
current.
21
It is possible to set a 3‑phase power level (specified in kW). This must be reached by
the photovoltaic system before the Wattpilot switches from 1‑phase to 3‑phase charging.
The settings for the start-up power level and 3‑phase power level can be made under
Cost optimisation in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
The power level can only be regulated in increments of 1 ampere. The table below lists
the charging current in amperes (A) and the corresponding charging power for 1‑phase
and 3‑phase charging in kilowatts (kW). 1-phase in 0.23 kW increments, 3-phase in
0.69 kW increments. The values are based on the assumption that the voltage is exactly
230 or 400 V.
- Example: The charging current is increased by 1 A to 7 A.
- 1‑phase: 1.38 kW + 0.23 kW = 1.61 kW
- 3‑phase: 4.14 kW + 0.69 kW = 4.83 kW

Photovoltaic generation
Electric vehicle
The figure illustrates the behaviour of the Wattpilot with a set start-up power level of
1.38 kW and a 3‑phase power level of 4.14 kW. If the PV surplus is less than 1.38 kW,
the vehicle is not charged.
If the PV surplus is between 1.38 and 4.14 kW, the Wattpilot regulates the charging
power in0.23 kWincrements.
If the PV surplus is above 4.14 kW, the Wattpilot switches from 1‑phase charging to
3‑phase charging and regulates the charging power in 0.69 kWincrements.
NOTE!
The minimum charging power of electric vehicles is usually 1.38 kW.
In the case of smaller photovoltaic systems, it may make sense to set the start-up power
level below 1.38‑kW so that sufficient energy is charged. The electricity that is not
covered by the photovoltaic system, however, is drawn from the grid. This results in a
power mix of self-consumption and grid supply.
A start-up power level below 1.38 kW results in a power mix.
▶
Charging with PV surplus can be activated and adjusted in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot
app (see Cost optimisation).
Priorities in the system between battery, Ohmpilot and Wattpilot
The priority of the Wattpilot can be influenced via the "PV battery limit value" and "Ohmpilot limit value" settings in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see chapter Cost optimisa-
tion). Depending on the level of the selected limit values, it is possible to define under
which conditions the charging of the electric vehicle starts. The temperature limit value of
the Ohmpilot can only be used if a temperature sensor is connected to the Ohmpilot. To
set the Wattpilot priority, the energy management priority settings on the website for the
inverter must also be taken into account.
NOTE!
If no temperature sensor is connected to the Fronius Ohmpilot, a temperature of 0 °C is
assumed. If the Wattpilot is to be prioritised over the Ohmpilot, set the "Ohmpilot limit
value" to 0 °C. In the event of a sensor break, the Ohmpilot is supplied with power before
the Wattpilot.
EN
Example: Charging the electric vehicle first
The electric vehicle must always be charged with PV surplus before the battery and the
Ohmpilot. In the Solar.wattpilot app, the limit value for the battery is set to 0% and the
limit value for the Ohmpilot is set to 0 degrees. The electric vehicle is immediately
charged with PV surplus, regardless of the state of charge of the battery or the temperature of the Ohmpilot.

NOTE!
The component with the highest priority in the inverter is taken into account.
If, for example, a battery in the inverter is prioritised higher than an Ohmpilot and the battery limit value is set to 50% and the Ohmpilot limit value is set to 50 °C, the Wattpilot will
start charging when the battery reaches 50% SOC. The Ohmpilot is not supplied with energy until the electric vehicle and battery are fully charged.
IMPORTANT!
The energy management with the digital outputs (I/Os) on the Fronius inverter must not
be used for load management of the Wattpilot! The priorities of the loads are not clearly
assigned.
The flexible electricity tariff can be used if electricity is purchased from electricity retailers
and charged for hourly via the electricity exchange, e.g.
- Lumina Strom hourly (available in Germany, as at 01/03/2021) or
- aWattar hourly (available in Austria and Germany, as at 01/03/2021).
Priority 1 until SOC*,

The Wattpilot queries the retailer tariffs directly via the Internet. It is possible to specify a
price threshold (Eco Mode price limit) below which charging starts. This is the pure electricity price, without network charges or other fees.
Example
The following figure shows the electricity price of an electricity retailer (Lumina Strom
hourly, aWattar hourly) over 24 hours. The hourly tariffs are retrieved from the electricity
exchange at a specific time for the next day.
Information regarding electricity retailers with a flexible electricity tariff can be
found under
- Lumina Strom hourly (as at 01/03/2021)
- aWattar hourly (as at 01/03/2021)

Different charging modes
Standard mode In standard mode, charging takes place at the preset amperage (e.g. 16 A). The level of
charging current can be changed in increments by pressing the pushbutton on the Wattpilot. In the app (see Current level), the charging current can be adjusted in 1 ampere
increments.
In standard mode, no operating mode LEDs light up.
Whereas charging at a low charging current is gentle, charging at a high charging current
enables rapid charging. If necessary, charging is carried out with electricity sourced from
the grid.
NOTE!
Standard mode
Standard mode is the standard setting of the Wattpilot; no LEDs light up white. In this
charging mode, the PV surplus and the flexible electricity tariff are not taken into account.
No further settings are required for standard mode.
▶
EN
Eco Mode In Eco Mode, a vehicle is only charged when low-cost electricity is available. Charging
can either take place with cheaply purchased electricity (see Flexible electricity tariff)
or surplus energy produced by the photovoltaic system (see PV surplus). There is no
guarantee that charging will occur.
Prerequisite
Charging in Eco Mode is only possible if PV surplus and/or a Flexible electricity tariff
is activated under PV surplus in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
NOTE!
Charging not possible.
If there is no surplus generated power or cheap electricity available, charging is not carried out in Eco Mode.
Change mode for guaranteed charging.
▶
Enable
Eco Mode can be configured in the app under Cost optimisation and activated by
pressing the pushbutton (< 0.5 s) or via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app.
NOTE!
The battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged first!
If the system contains a stationary battery, the battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged when the electricity price falls below the threshold before mains current is
drawn.

Example
Photovoltaic generation
Electric vehicle
Household consumption
In Eco Mode, the electric vehicle is connected to the Wattpilot at around 15:00, as although a fixed additional range for the electric vehicle is not necessary, cheaper electricity is to be used for charging. In the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, the PV surplus and/or
flexible electricity tariff must be activated and set under Cost optimisation. Household
consumption is covered by photovoltaic generation and the electric vehicle is charged
with the PV surplus. Charging takes place using the PV surplus until around 20:00.
Between 02:00 and 05:00, the electricity price falls below the defined price limit. The
electric vehicle is charged with cheap electricity during this period.

Next Trip Mode In Next Trip Mode, a vehicle is charged as cheaply as possible until the end of the self-
selected time with the set charging amount. The time charging starts is selected in such
a way that the desired charging amount is charged at least one hour before the charge
end. Charging takes place in the cheapest cost window. The PV surplus and flexible
electricity tariff settings are taken into account. If the "Stay in Eco Mode" function (for activation see Next Trip Mode) is activated, the Wattpilot continues charging with low-cost
energy after the set charging amount has been reached.
The set charging amount is charged in addition to the charging amount available in the
electric vehicle. The charging amount is specified in kilometres and calculated on the
basis of an average consumption (18 kWh/100 km). External conditions (season, driving
26
speed, car model, etc.) may cause deviations in the actual range. When setting the charging amount, the actual state of charge of the electric vehicle battery is not read out.
The mode can be set under "Next Trip Mode" in the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see
Next Trip Mode).
After activating the mode, charging is started briefly to calculate a charging schedule taking into account the possible charging power. If no flexible electricity tariff is activated,
charging is started at the latest possible time in order to charge with a possible PV surplus and to conserve the battery of the electric vehicle. If no time is provided for the calculation of the charging schedule, charging starts immediately.
NOTE!
Internet connection required if a flexible electricity tariff is activated!
If the flexible electricity tariff is activated in Next Trip Mode and there is no connection to
the electricity provider's data, the Next Trip Mode LED flashes red. Charging starts in order to reach the set charging amount.
If the charging cable is disconnected and reconnected while Next Trip Mode is activated,
the calculation is repeated and the set charging amount is charged in addition to the existing charging amount. Changes to the settings of the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app result
in a recalculation of the charging schedule. If the change is made during Next Trip Mode
charging, the range charged up to this point is added to this.
EN
If "Stay in Eco Mode" is activated, the cost optimisation settings are also taken into account in Next Trip Mode.
NOTE!
The battery of the photovoltaic system is discharged first!
If the system contains a stationary battery, the battery is discharged before mains current
is drawn.
NOTE!
Orange flashing LEDs if the charging amount cannot be reached or stored!
If the set charging amount cannot be charged in the specified time or if the car cannot
store the set charging amount, the LEDs flash orange.
Reduce the charging amount or extend the charging time.

Photovoltaic generation
Electric vehicle
Household consumption
The daily journey to work and back home is 50 km and must start at 08:00. In the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app, the kilometres and the departure time must be entered once under Next Trip Mode. 18 kWh is used as the basis for the calculation of 100 km. The electric vehicle is plugged in and charged at approximately 15:00. If PV surplus is available,
charging is carried out with PV surplus. The remaining charging amount is guaranteed to
be charged in the electric vehicle at the latest possible time. The charge is calculated in
such a way that it is completed at the latest one hour before departure.
NOTE!
If there is sufficient energy in the electric vehicle, it is better to use Eco Mode zu.
If the electric vehicle is sufficiently charged, Eco Mode is the better choice.
Change to Eco Mode (see Eco Mode).

Data communication with the inverter
Charging with PV surplus (see PV surplus) is possible with a supported Fronius inverter
to which a primary Fronius Smart Meter is connected. As soon as an inverter is in the
network, the Wattpilot automatically connects once with the first inverter that is found.
Another inverter can be coupled via the Fronius Solar.wattpilot app (see Cost optimisa-
tion).
Prerequisites
- The inverter is supported and has a suitable data interface (see Suitable inverters).
- The Wattpilot and the inverter are in the same network.
- A primary Fronius Smart Meter (at the feed-in point) must be connected to the inverter. If there are several inverters with primary Fronius Smart Meters in the network, only one of them may be coupled.

city tariff) and the use of PV surplus (see PV surplus) can be activated. The settings
listed below can also be customised.
45
Use Lumina Strom / aWattar
Activation or deactivation of flexible electricity tariffs.
Eco Mode price limit
When a flexible electricity tariff is activated in Eco Mode, charging does not start until the
set electricity price is below this value. If the electricity price is above this value, charging
does not take place.
NOTE!
In Next Trip Mode, it is not this value that is taken into account but the most favourable
charging times in the available time period.
Use PV surplus
The Wattpilot uses the surplus PV energy for charging.
Inverter
Selection of a coupled inverter.
PV battery threshold
If a battery is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value can be set here. Below
the set value, the battery is charged as a priority. Above this value, the energy of the battery is used to charge the car. The SOC of the battery may still slowly increase.
Ohmpilot threshold
If a Fronius Ohmpilot is installed in the photovoltaic system, a limit value for the temperature can be set here. Below the set value, the available energy is prioritised for heating.
Above this value, the heating power of the Ohmpilot is used to charge the car. The temperature may still slowly increase.
NOTE!
To use the function with an available Fronius Ohmpilot, a temperature sensor must be
connected to the Ohmpilot.
PV surplus
In the advanced settings, a start-up power level can be set from which the PV energy is
used for charging. Electric vehicles require a certain minimum power in order to charge.
- Starting power level: If "0" is set, the Wattpilot will start charging even if no PV surplus is available.
In the case of Zero feed-in, no PV current is fed into the grid. If zero feed-in is activated
in the inverter, it must also be activated in the Wattpilot.
NOTE!
Priorities with zero feed-in activated.
If zero feed-in is activated, the prioritisation of system components cannot be guaranteed. PV optimisation control may be restricted.
Deviations may occur when using PV surplus, as electric vehicles are regulated in
stages. The following settings can be made under Control response:
- Prefer from grid: The Wattpilot prioritises consumption over feed-in from the grid.
- Default: The Wattpilot enables both consumption and feed-in.
- Prefer to grid: The Wattpilot prioritises feed-in over consumption from the grid.
46
Car
With intelligent charging, the charging process can be interrupted or the charging current
reduced in order to meet certain charging conditions. Car-specific settings must be specified for smooth smart charging.
NOTE!
The electric vehicle is not listed - select standard charging behaviour.
If the electric vehicle to be charged is not listed, no specific charging behaviour is known.
All defaults can be customised.
Select the standard charging behaviour.
▶
- Choose car: The optimised standard settings of different car models can be activated under "Select car".
- Minimum current: Some cars will not resume charging after an interruption. To prevent an interruption, the minimum charging current can be set.
- Forced charging interval: In the case of cost-optimised charging, the Wattpilot interrupts the charging process if the electricity price is too high. Some cars will not
tolerate interruptions and will not continue charging after prolonged interruptions to
the charging process. In this case, the charging process must be started regularly
for a short time.
- Allow charging pause: Some cars will not resume charging after an interruption.
Charging interruptions are prevented if this option is deactivated.
- Simulate unplugging: Some cars need to be disconnected for a while if there has
been an interruption during cost-optimised charging. This function simulates a disconnection before charging continues.
- Minimum charging time: Set the minimum time for which the car must be charged
after charging starts.
- Choose phase switch:
- Automatic: A power level can be set, from which 3‑phase charging takes place.
If "0" is set, the Wattpilot immediately starts 3‑phase charging.
- Only 1‑phase: There is 1 phase available for charging.
- Only 3‑phase: There are 3 phases available for charging.
- 3‑phase power level: Set a power level that must be reached by the photovoltaic
system before the Wattpilot switches from 1‑phase to 3‑phase charging. If the available power is greater than the set value, the Wattpilot immediately activates 3‑phase
charging. Automatic switching can be deactivated in the car settings.
EN
Charging timer The "Charging timer" setting limits charging to specific times. A start and end time must
be specified for this. Several time windows can be set. The following can be set:
- The time (start and end time) and
- The days of the week.
NOTE!
Verhalten bei aktiviertem Eco Mode or Next Trip Mode:
If charging is not allowed by the charging timer for a certain period of time, Eco Mode
and Next Trip Mode are also blocked for this period.
If the charging timer does allow charging in a certain period of time but the settings for
Eco Mode or Next Trip Mode are not met, charging will not occur.
Brightness Set LED brightness values. By activating "Switch off LEDs after 10 s in standby", the
LEDs on the device are switched off after 10 seconds in standby.
LED colours Customise LED colours.
Time zone Set the time zone. Activating "Automatic summer time changeover" automatically sets
the summer and winter time.
47
Access management
In the "Access management" menu, it is possible to set whether charging is started automatically or after confirmation.
Open
The charging process is started automatically after connecting the cables.
Authentication required
Charging will only start after confirming in the app or scanning the supplied ID chip. To
scan, hold the ID chip in front of the card reader on the Wattpilot. If authentication is successful, 5 LEDs light up green.
Cable release Standard mode
The charging cable at the charging station remains locked after completion of the charging process until the charging cable is disconnected from the vehicle (anti-theft protection).
Auto-unlock
The charging cable is only locked during charging. This allows another user to disconnect the cable when the car is full in order to use the Wattpilot.
Always locked
The cable on the Wattpilot is always locked and can only be removed by changing the
mode. This mode is intended for permanently installed systems (e.g. in the carport).
Unlock during power outage
If this function is activated, the charging cable is unlocked in the event of a power failure.
By default, the charging cable remains locked in the event of a power failure for reasons
of theft protection. To unlock the charging cable, the Wattpilot must be supplied with
power again.
Earthing test Activation or deactivation of the earthing test. It is necessary to deactivate the earthing
test in insulated grids in certain countries (e.g. Norway) where earthing cannot be detected.
