The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is an application protocol for communication between electric vehicle charging stations and complementary central management systems (CMS).

The protocol was originally developed by Joury de Reuver and Franc Buve and is now managed by the Open Charge Alliance – a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands.

With OCPP, operators can monitor, control, configure, and update charging stations, as well as process payments and billing. The protocol is open, patent-free, and royalty-free.

Preparation

To connect your OCPP wallbox to our system, you must activate the wallbox's OCPP backend.

Before starting the setup, you must connect your wallbox to the internet and install the latest updates.

Access to the wallbox is required to set up the OCPP backend.

When you add the wallbox in our system, your individual OCPP URL will be displayed in the wallbox menu.

You must now enter this link into your wallbox. Please refer to your wallbox manual for instructions on where to enter this link.

Please ensure that the wallbox name does not contain any spaces " " or underscores "_". Otherwise, the control function will not work.

Integration

Once you have completed this configuration, it may take up to 10 minutes for your wallbox to register. As soon as the connection to your wallbox is established, it will appear in the dropdown under your OCPP URL.

Now you can configure the remaining wallbox settings and save your wallbox.

⚠️ To receive the initial status from the wallbox, a charging session must be started.
