How to schedule a Vestel charger

Use this page for plain-English schedule checks. Keep expectations practical: schedule commands depend on charger firmware, time settings, connectivity, and app/backend communication.

What to check first

Confirm your charger is online first with the Vestel charger Wi-Fi setup guide.
Check charger date and time in your charger interface/app controls.
Confirm your schedule start and end times are saved correctly.
If using managed connection settings, verify your Vestel charger OCPP setup.
If app access is the issue, open Vestel alternative app guidance first.

How off-peak scheduling works

Off-peak scheduling means your charger waits for your cheaper tariff window. A common setup is "start after midnight" and "stop before morning".

Set a clear start time and stop time that match your tariff period.
Avoid overlapping or duplicate schedules unless your interface explicitly supports them.
After saving, run one test session and confirm charging begins at the expected time.

Common reasons schedules fail

Charger offline

If the charger drops offline, schedule commands may not reach the charger when needed.

Wrong time on charger

If charger time is incorrect, it can run too early, too late, or not at all.

Conflicting settings

Vehicle-side charging timers can conflict with charger-side schedules.

Session not restarted

Some firmware versions need a fresh plug-in/session after schedule changes.

Overnight schedule issues explained simply

Overnight windows cross midnight, which can cause confusion. Example: 00:30 to 05:30 is one overnight window, not two separate daytime windows.

If a schedule starts before midnight and ends after midnight, double-check how your charger UI expects that range.
After changing overnight times, save once, then test with a short near-term schedule to confirm behaviour.
If charging starts immediately when it should wait, review both vehicle timers and charger timers.
