Hi,

Has anybody used this to turn on/off the EV charger?

I’m looking to do this also. I see you have had no response, so I guess no one has.

I see in the Aeotec blurb that they show this as one of the scenarios. In this day and age even more so.

Have you ended up doing this? I’m interested also in understanding why they use two live wires? Maybe for 3 phase, in which case you would simply join L1 and L2 together in a single phase scenario.
