SolVecConMon stands for Solar Power and Vehicle Control/Monitoring. Have all important solar and loadpoint values on your Apple Watch with a finger tip - IN REAL TIME. With the appropriate evcc server setup - see below - direct, worldwide access is possible - the most exciting use case.
Its a pure Apple Watch app! There is no Apple iPhone companion app - configuration also done in SolVecConMon.

Please note!
• For a first Look&Feel impression its enough to download the App - it automatically connects to the cloud based evcc Demo System - https://evcc.io.
• Prerequisite for real operation is to have a locally installed Solar Charging evcc System - https://evcc.io - SolVecConMon is powered by evcc!
• App access outside of the local network requires additional software components. For the RaspberryPi 4, an image is available for download at https://jfraundo251158.github.io, which contains all software components preconfigured and thus significantly simplifies the system setup.

Good to know!
• App updates after the first App download are done in the Apple Watch. Please search for solvecconmon in the Apple Watch App Store and click the download-cloud.
• Its much easier to edit the Apple Watch App Store and App Configuration tab fields through your iPhone/iPad. For this please take care that in the iPhone/iPad Settings for Apple Watch Keyboard - Allow Notifications - is set.

The application is working in your local network with running a local installation of https://evcc.io. For that you need to enter your evcc installation server in the Apps Configuration tab like http://mymachine:7070 or http://myIP:7070 (expected you are using the default evcc port 7070).

If you want the App having access outside your local network you need additionally setup an Edge Router (reverse proxy), which provides basic authentification feature and https secure connection. A detailed instruction guide along with an RaspberryPi 4 Image for download is to be found on https://jfraundo251158.github.io.
