OrangeTux/ocpp

Python implementation of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).

OCPP

Python package implementing the JSON version of the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). Currently OCPP 1.6 (errata v4), OCPP 2.0 and OCPP 2.0.1 (Final Version) are supported.

You can find the documentation on rtd.

Installation

You can either the project install from Pypi:

$ pip install ocpp

Or clone the project and install it manually using:

$ pip install .

Quick start

Below you can find examples on how to create a simple OCPP 2.0 central system as well as an OCPP 2.0 charge point.

Note

To run these examples the dependency websockets is required! Install it by running:

$ pip install websockets

Central system

The code snippet below creates a simple OCPP 2.0 central system which is able to handle BootNotification calls. You can find a detailed explanation of the code in the Central System documentation_.

    instance and start listening for messages.

Debugging

Python's default log level is logging.WARNING. As result most of the logs generated by this package are discarded. To see the log output of this package lower the log level to logging.DEBUG.

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

However, this approach defines the log level for the complete logging system. In other words: the log level of all dependencies is set to logging.DEBUG.

To lower the logs for this package only use the following code:

import logging
logging.getLogger('ocpp').setLevel(level=logging.DEBUG)
logging.getLogger('ocpp').addHandler(logging.StreamHandler())
