Allow All OCPP TAGS
Hi, I have some EV chargers and multiple tags.
It's possible to allow always any type of tag ? Any user with compatible RF card (tag) can charge the vehicle!
Why do you use tag if every one is free to charge? Why not configuring your charger into a plug-n-charge mode where it will send a default tag value configured in steve?
Hi Juherr , How I can adjust my charger to plug and charge mode ? That is the question :)
You should provide the manifacturer, model and firmware version of your charger.
But nobody can replace the official support and you should start with them.
i dont think there is an out of the box feature in ocpp standard that will provide this. AFAIK though. i might have a blind spot.
what you can do is (with implementation effort): always react to authorize requests with "Accepted" for every incoming id tag.
I thought it was a parameter that I could send via ocpp /STEVE
Maybe an ocpp key exists to configure the charger but again you should ask to the charger manifacturer.
From the datasheet:
What you are asking for sounds like the "Connect 'n' Charge" mode.
Ok, Instead of use Open Access , maybe I need to develop a APP to request charging activation.. What is the best way to create the app, based on Steve Websocket ?
You'll have to find where is the authorization logic and replace it by your own.
An alternativ to @juherr suggestion is to add the OCPP operations "Remote Start Transaction" and "Remote Stop Transaction" to the WebApi. Then you can use the steve web interface for your APP.
i consider the issue resolved, since multiple solution approaches have been suggested even though steve does not support this out of the box. this is a too nuanced feature to implement globally in steve. there are many use cases. @jot4p wants all tags to be allowed at all stations. what if some other user wants all tags to be allowed at some stations? etc.
