It is charging just fine and will even show via Bluetooth the info on charging. It is an initializing issue for the WIFI connection. I have charged the last 2 nights without issues and no red lights. If I start the WIFI connect process, I feel it would go red again.
Code requires a 60A breaker for a 48A EVSE. That isn't Rivian's choice.
Is that a photo sensor to control when the lightbulb is on?The Vermont cabin install, had to run 30-40 ft underground. Now I just need my R1S.
NEC code limits continuous load to 80% of the circuit capacity.

Looks like motion detector rather than ambient light sensor. OP is in front of it taking a picture, so recent motion is likely.
Yup, I think you nailed it there. I think they make smart light bulbs with motion sensors in them now you could use.
No, 40 amp continuous load range when pumping. Start up was the issue. Bought new breaker and had the problem. Went back for another and had same issue. Megged motor and had no issues but still sent motor off to electrical company and spec fine. Got it back and installed, breaker trip. (this was almost week of life in a hotel on job site) Went home overnight and bought a another breaker at local supply house and it has been working ever since. ( Georgia power line man suggested buy from a different supply house.) I wish I had a better answer but only thing I can imagine is the lot of breakers form 1st supply house were made form chineseium and didn't pass muster.
Yea 40amp continuous would be ok even with 48 start up on 50 amp breaker, but not for EV chargers. The point made above is that the EV chargers have special guidance in the NEC because it is expect that they will be at max amps for continuous and because of that you can't exceed the 80% rule. Further issue is that when you get to 48 amps using the 80% rule... which requires a 60 amp breaker, you now have issues getting wired correctly to the unit because of the balance of temperature restrictions on romex, the max gauge wire size on most chargers (6 gauge), and conduit impacts on the temperature restrictions.
Cool! I went and read the whole thread. Hopefully the price will come down on the chargers in the future and I would be up for putting inside/outside or even seeing if I could put one on my sidewalk for public use and to offset some cost with the load sharing
Ha yea I could, it has a glass shade that wasn’t on in the photWow, that is nice. All you need is a 3d printed cowl of the Rivian logo to put over the lightbulb
