This is a guide that shows how to install Monta on your charge point. If you want to connect your charge point to your Monta account, please follow the steps in the end of the guide.
Please note that when you connect your charge point to Monta, we become the operator of the charge point. This means that you need to use Monta to control the charging process.
1. Download the NRGkick app on your device
First, connect the NRGkick charging unit to an outlet.
Then, download the free NRGkick App from the App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Connect to the unit via Bluetooth
Make sure to enable Bluetooth on your device.
After opening the NRGkick App, it searches for your charging unit within Bluetooth-range first (app. 10m). When it found your NRGkick, it will appear as User01.
3. Set up the internet connection for the unit
Click on the User01 button to initiate the Setup Wizard, which will guide you through the next steps.
The setup also includes connecting the unit to a nearby WiFi network – make sure to configure it, if your NRGkick does not have an internal SIM for internet connection.
4. Create a NRGkick account and link your unit
The next step is to create a free NRGkick Cloud Account and then link your NRGkick to it. This is needed so charging data can be sent to Monta.
4.a. Tap on Register and choose your desired eMail and password
4.b. Check your email to confirm
After you have done this, you will immediately receive an eMail where you have to confirm the new Cloud Account by clicking a link in it. Remember check your spam and junk folders, if you do not receive the email within 2-3 minutes.
4.c. Link your unit
After you did this, link your NRGkick charging unit to your account by tapping the button Link with account.
5. Configure the unit to Monta
Enter the Extended tab and there click on Charging Network.
Select the Predefined section and click on Monta. All settings are pre-filled for you!
OBS! Before clicking ✅, copy/make a screenshot of the page of the App. You will need the Chargepoint Identifier and User Tag Identifier when you are connecting the unit to your Monta account.
6. Connecting the charge point to your Monta account
Now you need to add and connect your charge point to your Monta account.
You can do this through either Monta Charge or Monta Hub.
Make sure to select the OCPP method for connecting. The serial number is the ChargePoint Identifier from the NRGkick App.
7. Register the unit as a charge key in your Monta account
The last step of this setup is to register your unit in your Monta Wallet, as if it was a charge key. It is very important to connect this “dummy” charge key in the same Team, where the charge point is.
Open the Team Wallet and select to add a charge key. You MUST add it manually. When you are adding it, you can name it however, it suits your needs. In the serial number field, you have to enter enter the User Tag Identifier.
Here is guide on how you can add a charge key in Monta Charge and Monta Hub.
