I am looking at how to integrate with octopus energy who I have seen plenty of people looking to integrate with and got thinking that as they support the wallbox devices using OCPP there may be a hack way of integrating Openevse.
In essence I was looking to see if anyone has already tried this and if it worked already, but if not if there was a way of telling octopus that the device I am connecting is a wallbox, get the OCPP details from them and then plumb them into my Openevse device and get Openevse to emulate a wallbox so octopus would not see any difference and we could integrate very quickly using this method while they continue focusing on integrating the cars instead of supporting the chargers?
I did find this on another website which shows what seems to be the details Wallbox sends to OCPP, I wasn’t sure if there is any charger specific information I would need to replicate to tell octopus the Openevse was a wallbox through OCPP?
