You can link your zappi EV charger with Hive to control charging modes and boosts within the Hive app. This guide shows you how to link your accounts and manage charging.
Account linking overview
To control a myenergi device (such as zappi) within the Hive app, you need to link your Hive and myenergi accounts.
Before you start
Make sure your zappi is already set up in your myenergi account and connected to the internet via Wi-Fi, Ethernet or the myenergi hub.
- Open the Hive app and tap Add Device.
- Select Works with Hive.
- Choose myenergi from the manufacturer list.
- Complete the setup checks shown on screen.
- Tap Continue and sign in with your myenergi account details.
- Once linked, select Finish to return to the app.
Control zappi modes in the Hive app
Once your accounts are linked, you can view and manage charging modes from the Hive app.
- Fast mode – prioritises fastest charge from grid/solar.
- Eco mode – mixes grid and surplus solar power.
- Eco+ mode – uses surplus solar only.
- Stop charging – pauses charging.
- In the Hive app, go to Devices and select EV Charger.
- Scroll if needed to find the zappi tile.
- Select the mode from the dropdown.
- The selected mode and status will update on the dashboard.
- Select Stop charging from the mode dropdown.
- Confirm your choice if prompted.
- The dashboard will show that charging has stopped.
Using Boost functions
You can trigger a boost from inside the Hive app, either manually or based on a smart schedule.
- Open the zappi EV Charger screen in the Hive app.
- Tap Boost and select Manual Boost.
- Choose a target amount of energy (kWh).
- Tap Start.
- The dashboard will confirm that boosting has started.
- Follow the steps for Manual Boost.
- Select Smart Boost instead.
- Choose a “ready by” time as well as the target kWh.
Important
Boosts always prioritise delivery of the selected energy target. Any surplus solar generation may reduce grid use, depending on mode and available power.
