Charging openHAB with OCPP

It looks fine, discovery found connector. The missing channel error is my fault. I’ve added missing XML descriptor, next build (3.0.0-pr-91-2024080y.xxxxxx-2) should contain it.

Gave it a shot now the channels are populated. But still no values the wallbox is in a ocpp connecting state. I tried scanning to see if it finds it still nothing . Logs dont show anything special any ideea?

If wallbox is stuck in connecting state then possibly binding does not satisfy defined protocol. I gonna check a handshake procedure in ocpp docs to see if binding should send something back.

I had it working at some point. My guess is some that my Grizzl-E charger is the source of my issues. Here is my repo : GitHub - gyzod/ocpp2mqtt

@splatch what is connectorIO ?

Not sure in which context you ask, it is:

  1. limited company I owe
  2. EU trademark owned my self-employed business
  3. github repos contain its open source code
  4. this is the largest set of third-party addons for OH

dear @splatch, dear all: I have Easee Charge-boxes and would be willing to cooperate for some testing. I have 3 boxes and only need two of them, so I could do testing with the 3rd.

The Easee boxes have a local-API for a local OCPP 1.6j server:

Hello Wolfgang,
I have a PR with some changes to tune up OCPP binding: First push of more advanced version of OCPP binding. by splatch · Pull Request #91 · ConnectorIO/connectorio-addons · GitHub, however its still based on OH 3.0.0. Which version do you aim?

I would also be very interested in the OCPP binding. I have now Alfen Eve charger with Modbus. I’m now running OH4.3.5 but will upgrade to OH5 later in July.

Hi Łukasz!
I run OH 4.3, the current stable version. With OH5 imminent, it is perhaps better to leave out OH4.

I’ve used up all my raspberries, but for testing purposes I could always create another virtual machine (debian 12) and install OH3.

Give a try to this build:

Later on there might be more builds, so keep in mind that number after 4.3.0-pr-105 is date stamp. 20250703 means build from 3rd July 2025.

PR: First push of more advanced version of OCPP binding (4.3.x) by splatch · Pull Request #105 · ConnectorIO/connectorio-addons · GitHub.

which ocpp server do you recommend? (for debian)

Binding includes ocpp server, so charging stations connect directly to openHAB.
