A little off topic here but although I understand that maybe this came from a safety concern, this remote disabling/updating of our equipment is not something that anyone should be ok with. They can email me all they want, have their app warn me until I prove to them it is correctly installed if they insist, but they shouldn't change my settings on my charger nor should they even have the kind of access to my charger required for this to be possible.
