Wi-Fi models run OCPP 1.6J and will charge and fire schedules without reaching United Chargers' own cloud. However, third-party/local OCPP server access (required to point the unit at Home Assistant or a self-hosted platform) is now sold as a paid one-time license per unit rather than included; without it, smart features run through the Grizzl-E Connect app and cloud.

Standard IoT privacy policy; OCPP allows completely private operation.

United Chargers / Grizzl-E is a long-standing, established North American EVSE brand.

OCPP 1.6J is a genuine open standard and is community-confirmed working with Home Assistant's OCPP integration, though users report a fair amount of setup friction. As of 2026 United Chargers charges a one-time per-unit license to unlock third-party OCPP access, so this is no longer a free, out-of-the-box path to local control.

MSI's own listings rate the EV Premium at IP55 (dust protected, protected against low-pressure water jets) with IK08 impact resistance, not an official NEMA 3R certification. IP55 is broadly comparable to NEMA 3R for rain exposure but is a different standard. Includes a 7-inch color display and a 24.6ft (7.5m) cable rather than the 25ft listed.

MSI is a multi-billion dollar international hardware computing and electronics leader.

MSI holds Open Charge Alliance certification at the EV Series/commercial level and documents OCPP 1.6J on certain SKUs (e.g. EV Life Plus, which explicitly requires an EMS back-end), but MSI's own EV Premium listings do not document OCPP or any Home Assistant path for this residential model. Treat local/open control here as unconfirmed.
