Installation procedures

Can you tell me please the steps to launch the chargetimeEU??

Hi @KareemKelgamal,

The project does not contain an application of which you can execute. It's a java library, which mean you would have to program the application yourself.

Please see previous similar issue: #62

If you are looking for an out of the box server (Central System), then I would recommend https://github.com/RWTH-i5-IDSG/steve

@TVolden
I already installed steve server and I want an OCPP simulator to interface with STEVE.
so how can I run web socket to show the data transferred from STEVE?

@KareemKelgamal this is a good starting point in implementing a client https://github.com/ChargeTimeEU/Java-OCA-OCPP/tree/master/ocpp-v1_6-example/json-client-implementation

@jmluy
thanks
so how to run?

[TVolden]

Hi @KareemKelgamal,

I know this can be confusing, and sorry for that.
There is no application to run. You or someone you hire would have to implement an application on top of this library or alternatively find an application somewhere else (just like you found SteVe).

Sincerely,

ok Mr. @TVolden
I understand you, I already had Steve on my server as my CSMS and I just wanted a charge point/client simulator to interface with Steve, can you recommend any open platform?

[TVolden]

Hi @KareemKelgamal ,

I have to apologize again, for I have only worked on this library and therefore have no experience with running either server nor client applications.

I think it's a very good question, so I would like to keep this issue open, so the community can contribute with suggestions. Hopefully this will be a good resource for anyone with similar needs.

Sincerely,
Thomas Volden

Hi @KareemKelgamal, responding to the community request for an open platform

We have an open platform that can act as a ChargePoint/Client Simulator to interface with Steve/OCPP: https://datagovs.com/apps/

Let me know how we might be able to help you here as we've been able to pull data in the US for 10,000s of EV Charge Stations. Feel free to email at vendor@datagovs.com or direct message me here.
