The new firmware update includes the following features and improvements:
EEBUS

• The energy manager to be paired can now be selected from a list.
PV Surplus Charging (Solar DLM)
• Added support for the control modes 'Maximum Power' and 'PV/Grid Charging'.
• Support for metering at the grid feed-in point has been added (compatible with Siemens PAC2200 and TQ EM420).
• 1-phase/3-phase switching via SMA SEMP
Other Features and Improvements

• The OCPP implementation has been improved in several areas to comply with the OCPP 1.6 Edition 2 specification.
• Improved ISO 15118 communication for compatibility with the new TESLA software
• Improved time handling without internet connection
The update will be automatically installed over the air (OTA) for all Wallboxes connected to the internet. If the Wallboxes are not connected to the internet or the OTA update fails, a manual update is possible. Below you will find information on how to carry out a manual update.
Manual updates may only be performed by a qualified electrician!
Note: If the OTA update fails, the user will receive an error message in the app. This is not a critical error—Wallbox functionality remains unchanged. Only the new features of the update will not be installed and must be added manually.
The update can only be performed when no EV is charging.
1. Update via the Web UI of the charging controller (Wallbox does not need to be opened)
- First, download the update file and save it on your device.
- Connect to the web interface of the charging controller using a laptop or another device.
- You can access the web interface via the IP address assigned to the Wallbox either automatically or manually by your network administrator. If automatically assigned, the IP address can be found in the router. Alternatively, connect your device to the Wallbox’s local hotspot, provided it is enabled under the advanced network settings in the app. The default hotspot password is els-wallbox, but it may have been changed during installation.
- Enter the IP address of the Wallbox (or the Wallbox hotspot – for every Wallbox: 172.20.0.1) in any browser. A login screen will appear.
- Enter the username operator and the individual service password for your Wallbox.
Note: If you do not have or have lost the service password, please contact our technical support via the contact form on the Wallbox service and support page:
https://www.spelsberg.de/service/support/elektromobilitaet/wallbox/
You will need the feedback number (RN number) of the respective Wallbox, which you can find on the nameplate or QR code (e.g., 12345-789).
- After successful login, navigate to the System menu. There you will find the Firmware Update section.
- Under “Select File”, you can upload the previously downloaded new firmware file to the Wallbox.
- A color change in the status LED indicates the update process. The update is successful once the LED turns blue again and firmware version 5.33 is displayed. You can check this in the app under System > Installation & Maintenance Data.
Note: If you are logged out of the Web UI shortly after logging in, this is likely due to parallel access from the Spelsberg Wallbox App on a connected smartphone. The Web UI can only be accessed by one instance at a time. Please close the Spelsberg Wallbox App on all smartphones where the Wallbox is added.
2. Update via USB (Wallbox must be opened)
Warning: The Wallbox remains under voltage during the update. Please observe all safety precautions when opening the housing and performing the update to avoid injury or system damage.
- To perform the update using a USB stick, first prepare a compatible USB stick:
- Download the update file and save it to your laptop or another device with a USB-A port.
- Use an empty USB stick (max. 500 MB, formatted to FAT32). To format: open File Explorer, find the USB stick under devices in the left panel, right-click the name, and select "Format." Choose FAT32 (Default) as the file system and click "Start." Note: All files on the USB stick will be deleted.
- Create a new text file (e.g., using Windows Notepad) with the service password of the respective Wallbox as the only content. Save this file on the USB stick with the name USB_PASSWORD
Make sure the file has no extension. If necessary, remove the .txt extension. - Now copy the update file to the USB stick and rename it to sw_update.deb.
- Remove the design cover of the Wallbox using the four unlocking chips. Instructions on how to remove the cover can be found in our online product manual or installation guide.
- Open the housing.
- Insert the prepared USB stick into a free USB-A port on the charging controller inside the Wallbox lid and wait for the update to complete. This may take several minutes.
- A change in the status LED color signals that an update is in progress. The update was successful when the LED turns blue again and firmware version 5.33 is displayed. You can check this in the app under System > Installation & Maintenance Data.
Note: If you do not have or have lost the service password, please contact our technical support via the contact form at https://www.spelsberg.de/service/support/elektromobilitaet/wallbox/. You will need the feedback number (RN number) of the respective Wallbox, which you can find on the nameplate or QR code (e.g., 12345-789).
