Yeah it is outside the box. The router is tiny but there's just not enough space inside the box to fit it in a place where I would be comfortable it wouldn't possibly interfere with the charger's function. It might be possible to take it apart and fit it that way but I just slapped it on top.

And 3D printed a cover that also has some indents for the cord to hang in so it looks like it has a purpose other than hiding a box inside of it.

It is a GL.iNET Smart Router, but anything that runs OpenWrt will do. I used the GL.iNET because it has headers for +5V input, RX/TX and a few of the other GPIOs and I was hoping I could use them to be able to update the OpenEVSE firmware and not need any other components. I couldn't get it to work for software reasons though. A hootoo HM-TM02 also would work in this configuration but requires a bit more setup to get going.

 

Basically it is just the GL.iNET router -> USB Serial cable -> OpenEVSE with my luci-app-openevse package. There's more information in the OpenEVSE group about what I did:
