EV Charging Station won't start charging Peugeot e-208

EVCS FW 1.24

The EVCS is grid connected, 3 phase, 16A. No gridmeter in between.

Everything seems to work fine.
- Webinterface > OK

- Venus on RasPi 2.93_03 > OK

- VictronConnect > OK

- VRM > OK

But it won't start charging our Peugeot E-208

EVCS Status says Low SoC

When we connect the E-208 to a public charging point it has 1hr 10min. to charge to complete...

It appears that RTFM is still a valid recommendation ;-)

In the EVCS manual it says "when the GX device communication is not correctly configured the EVCS will have a status Low SoC".

I disabled the GX device in the EVCS webinterface and now it charges with 3P 11kW!

With VictronConnect it is easy to follow the status.

yes, because the EVCS can't read the SOC of the system
