Commands in the app are limited to basic functionalities:
Basic commands
In the web portal, you can access the basic commands by going to Chargers > View > Actions in the top rightof your screen.
Command | What it does |
Reset | Hard-resets the charger. It will go offline. This will not power cycle the charger, so it's different from rebooting the charger. |
Start or end transaction | |
Download diagnostics | This downloads the charger's diagnostic files, what you get depends on the charger. |
Lock charger | This sets the charger's connectors to unavailable, see Lock Charger. |
Advanced commands
Our basic commands are just an overlay. What's really happening, is that in the background we send OCPP commands to the charger. You can send these yourself by going to Chargers > View > Commands.
