    2. You’ll also need to have updated your zappi to the latest firmware to get started. Check the zappi manual if you need assistance with this.
    3. You must have a myenergi myaccount, which is free to sign up for. You must have registered your zappi on myenergi myaccount.
    4. Your zappi should be set as vHub. You can find out how to do this in the zappi manual.

    Not Connecting?
    Please use this checklist:

    1. Please check your charge point is online in your myenergi myaccount. You should see online on the my products page.

    3. The username and ChargeBoxID match,
    4. Go to the OCPP settings and check the URL matches what was given by your platform provider.
