OCPP Integration of various EVSEs
This section explains how to connect EV chargers with the Sintio-Portal via Open Charge Point Protocol (opens in a new tab). OCPP facilitates the exchange of information between charging stations and the Sintio-Portal, enabling functionalities such as starting and stopping charging sessions, retrieving charging status, and collecting usage data for billing purpose.
At time of writing Sintio supports OCPP 1.6 with JSON flavours.
If you have received administration rights for an organization, the additional navigation item Organizations (opens in a new tab) is displayed as shown in the screenshot below. Furthermore there is an organization switcher, where you can change the view from Personal to a dedicated organization.
Getting OCPP URL and password
As soon as you have chosen the organization where the charger should appear, navigate to General and scroll to the bottom, where your services are listed. There you will find the secure websocket URL of the organization as well as a password that can be set.
The notation of the URL is as follows:
wss://ocpp.sintio.app/ocpp16/[YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID]/[YOUR_DEVICE_ID]YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID has been created by Sintio and it cannot be changed. No matter which charging stations you want to connect to the organization, this part of the URL remains (static).
YOUR_DEVICE_ID must be a unique ID that represents the charger. This term may only occur once per organization. If you want to connect several charging stations, they must all have a different device ID (e.g. charger01, charger02, charger03).
If you wish to change your OCPP password, please note that this change must also be made on all of your connected charging stations. Otherwise, they will no longer be able to connect to your OCPP server.
Configure a charger
Every charger that supports OCPP can be connected to the Sinto-Portal. However, find specific instructions for some models below:
- Easee (Charge/Home/Lite)
- Hager (Witty Share)
- Weidmüller (AC Smart)
- Zaptec (Pro/Go)
- KEBA (P30)
- Garo (Entity Pro)
When the charger is configured properly, it will appear automatically and in no time under Chargers in the organization navigation. A detailed overview of all supported chargers with technical details can be found here (opens in a new tab).
