## Common questions

### Why does evcc show demo values and not control my charger?

Replace the demo meter, charger, vehicle, and price settings in evcc.yaml with your real hardware and electricity rates before starting evcc. Otherwise it only shows fake values and will not control the charger correctly.

### Does evcc need to connect to cloud services?

evcc is designed for local energy management without relying on cloud services.

### Can evcc be integrated with Home Assistant?

Yes, there is an unofficial HACS integration that lets Home Assistant control a local evcc instance.

### How can I back up evcc data?

evcc provides database backup options to download or restore a database backup.

### Is there a mobile app for evcc?

evcc has an iOS and Android companion app to monitor and control charging.
