Evbox / OCPP protocol integration in Domoticz

[Darkneo]

Hello there!

I do not know if this topic will be in the right section, sorry in advance for that if that's not the case.

I have just installed an EV charger at home, and I really would like to integrate it somehow in Domoticz.

I tried to listen for open ports on the device, but only SMTP ports are open. So I guess I will not be able to use web interface to get the information i'd like.

But after checking the technical sheet, it seems like the charger is using OCPP communication protocol in 1.6 version. I, of course, have never heard about this protocol, and after few searches, I was not able to find any plugin in domoticz to use this protocol (the only things I found are kindda framework for python, such as https://github.com/mobilityhouse/ocpp )

So if you have any information/tutorial/how to guide to help me start this journey for OCPP integration in Domoticz, it would be really appreciated (or even an already existing plugin to do so)!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here someone has a OCPP EV charger viewtopic.php?t=35463 You could ask in that topic how they connected to their charger.
What brand of charger you have?

Hello,

I found this topic but did not want to bother them with my EV Charger (the brand is EVBOX, model Elvi). I'll contact them to find out how they did use the OCPP protocol in Domoticz.

Edit: After checking their device, it seems to be a Wallbox charger. This charger embeds a RPI as main board. It already has a JSON api on port 2222, and can also be SSHed to add whatever feature you want... That's clearly not my case with Elvi.... :'(
