They probably will do eventually but currently the wall connector is the scheduler. The app would just send the data back to the Tesla servers which may not be able to communicate with the wall connector directly. They have to be able to work without a wifi connection. It was probably faster to implement a bit of simple logic and a ui on the wall connectors web portal within the looming deadline.

I'm waiting for when the visualisation screen can recognise Teslas and displays them in colour instead of grey shapes.

There's a steady stream of data between the TWC and Tesla (via Amazon AWS), so there's nothing stopping them commanding it remotely. As you say though, this was probably a rush job so we may have to wait for more polish to be applied.

I know! When will we have wireless charging!I can’t believe that with all my 21st century tech with up the minute software, I still have to physically walk to the garage and plug the charger into my car to make it charge.

It’s a step in the right direction. I just have high expectations from a tech company so easily disappointed.

It's not obvious, you need to tap the "Scan QR Code" button and then on the camera screen there's a "Manually Enter" at the bottom - or at least there is on my app.
So my brother was having problems adding his TWC to his account, it just wouldn’t connect. I said try adding to my account and I’ll remove it again if it works (as I use a third party charger)
Added to my account fine, all working but Turns out … you can’t remove it from your account once it’s added!!! I then tried adding it to his account again and it got through all the steps this time and stopped at the end saying “already assigned to another user, please contact support. Looks like I’m making a phone call tomorrow!!!

Yes I have in the UK. I don’t have a TWC though, rather a Zappi.
Given Tesla app knows what is going into the car, I don’t see why it is charge point specific.

USA user, I don't this this option in the app. Wondering if this was rolled out for USA yet

not active yet. capability in code but not active yet. Will only be for tesla wall charger not other 3rd party chargers.
I have a gen 3 WC and the same app version as suggested higher in the thread but in France, the option to add the WC to the app isn't available yet...
As part of the setup it does ask you for the address of the wall charger, and it pre-fills in your registered address.I'm guessing it's limited to UK users for now. I tried spoofing my phone location to UK but it did not appear. Maybe it checks to what adress your Tesla account is registered or something? Probably best to be a bit more patient
It wouldn't be legal to sell it in the UK if it only did that - the charger itself needs to have scheduling capabilities as of 30 June 2022, hence why Tesla scrambled out a software update to chargers in the UK first.
