# Create an Evlink Pro AC, Lektri.co or Terra AC charger action in Link’nX

Context: Link’nX web: Actions in the AUTOMATION section, Evlink Pro AC, Lektri.co and Terra AC types

A Link’nX charger action sends a command to an Evlink Pro AC, Lektri.co or Terra AC EV charger: start, stop or suspend charging, limit the current in amperes or lock the socket, depending on the model. Once saved, it can be added to a scenario. To control the charger directly from the bus, use [its KNX commands](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-charger-knx/) instead.

Intended for authorized administrators and installers.

## Before you start

- The charger is [declared in the right gateway](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-charger-devices/).
- The current limits authorized for the installation are known.
- For a scenario to run an **Evlink Pro AC** or **Lektri.co** action in your installation, first have the path confirmed by support, before relying on the automation. For Terra AC, follow [how to compose a scenario](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-compose-scenario/).

## Create and save the action

1. In the **AUTOMATION** section of the sidebar, open **Actions** and click **Add**.
2. In **Select an action type**, choose **Evlink Pro AC**, **Lektri.co** or **Terra AC**.
3. Fill in the required **Name**: at most 64 characters, including at least one character other than a space. Fictitious example: “North charger limit”.
4. Select the charger in **Evlink Pro AC device**, **Lektri.co to control** or **Terra AC to control**. Start with a single identified charger. For a Lektri.co command targeting several chargers, have the path confirmed by support before relying on a collective result.
5. Choose the command in **Evlink Pro AC command**, **Lektri.co command** or **Terra AC command**, using the tables below.
6. When **Value** appears, explicitly enter the appropriate value. Do not keep the initial value without checking its meaning and the installation’s limits.
7. Click the **floppy-disk icon at the bottom right** and wait for **Success!**.

## Choose an Evlink Pro AC command

| Displayed command | Use |
| --- | --- |
| **Modify the maximum charging power** | A **current limit in amperes**: an integer from **6 to 32 A**, within the limits authorized for the installation. For example, 16 means 16 A, not 16 kW |
| **Stop Charge** | Stop the ongoing session |
| **Suspend Charge** | Suspend the ongoing session |
| **Restart Charge** | Resume a suspended session; it is not used to start a new session |
| **Reboot the station** | Request a restart of the station |
| **Set to "Available"** | Request the available status |
| **Set to "Unavailable"** | Request the unavailable status; according to the help, a charge in progress finishes before this change |

Only the first command asks for a **Value**; the others ask for no number. To stop charging, choose **Stop Charge**: a limit of **0**, a negative value or a value below 6 does not replace it.

## Choose a Lektri.co or Terra AC command

| Command | Lektri.co | Terra AC |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Start charge** | Present | Present |
| **Stop charge** | Present | Present |
| **Set max current** | Value in amperes: a positive integer confirmed for the installation | Value in amperes, suited to the installation’s limits |
| **Lock** / **Unlock** | Not in this list | Act on the locking of the cable socket |

For Terra AC, make sure no charging session is in progress before requesting unlocking. Do not confuse cable locking with starting or stopping a charge.

With **Set max current**, the form refuses **0** and displays **Issue with value field. You need to enter a value.** To stop charging, choose **Stop charge**. For a specific need for a zero setpoint, have the method confirmed by support: the action and the KNX association are not interchangeable.

The Lektri.co functions **Pause charging**, **Resume charging**, **Reset device** and **Override charging schedule** are in [the KNX gateway table](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-charger-knx/), not in this list of commands. Changing the interface language does not make them appear.

## Check the result

1. Find the action in the list and open **Edit**. Review the name, the charger, the command and any value.
2. **Success!** confirms that the action is saved, not that a command was transmitted or that the vehicle reacted. Distinguish saving, execution of the automation and the observed result.
3. For a Terra AC action, add it to a scenario by following [how to compose a scenario](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-compose-scenario/). After an authorized test, check the result on the charger and in the [charger feedback](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-charger-feedback/).

## Edit an action

Open **Edit** on the action. Its type cannot be changed in this mode. After the floppy disk, if a window lists the affected scenarios, review them, then choose **SAVE** to confirm or **CANCEL** to not apply the change. Duplication and the common confirmations are described in [the action editing guide](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-action-edit/).

## Troubleshooting

- Type missing from **Select an action type**: check the context and the option for the family concerned. A charger present in another gateway is not enough.
- Charger missing from the selection list: check its declaration in the same gateway and the action’s family. A Lektri.co charger cannot be selected in a Terra AC action.
- Value refused by the form, or an Evlink limit needed outside the 6 to 32 A range: contact support.
- Save succeeds with no effect on the vehicle: reopen the action and check the fields above. For Evlink Pro AC or Lektri.co, have the scenario path confirmed by support. To diagnose statuses and limits, see [the charger feedback](https://wiki.can-nx.com/en/guides/link-charger-feedback/).

## Contact support

If these checks have already been done, write to support@can-nx.com, summarizing the product, the action, the charger, the value, the expected result and the tests carried out.
