How to change the charge mode of the charging station?

After pairing your charging station with Synkee, the charge mode is set by default to Peak shaving + Follow the peak.

If you wish to change your charge mode, tap the charging station tile in the Home tab

Go to your charging station settings via the cogwheel at the top of the page.

In the next screen, tap charge mode

There are 2 charge modes:

1. Peak shaving (default)
   Your charging station gets all available power (from the grid, supplemented by your own generated energy) without exceeding the maximum peak consumption. Thus, appliances controlled by Synkee will never cause the capacity rate to be charged.
   
   If the appliances in the home (not controlled by Synkee) do exceed the maximum peak consumption during the current month, you can choose to use this new peak as the maximum peak for the rest of the month. To do this, activate the Follow the peak function by sliding the slider to the right. By default, this option is activated.
   
   The advantage is that in the current month, extra power is released for your charging station to charge your car without increasing the capacity rate. At the beginning of the next month, this value is automatically reset. Read more
   
   Here you have the possibility to adjust the maximum peak consumption. Please note that increasing the maximum peak consumption will affect the capacity rate. 
   
   
2. Follow the sun
   Your charging station receives only your own generated energy that you would otherwise inject into the grid. No energy is taken from the grid. Read more

Select the desired charge mode and save your changes via the button at the top right of the screen.
