The chargecloud relies on the international Open Charge Point Protocol Standard (OCPP) for communication between charging stations and the chargecloud backend. You can find more information about the protocols on the official website of the Open Charge Alliance (here).
Currently, the following OCPP versions can be used in conjunction with chargecloud stations:
- OCPP 1.5
- OCPP 1.6
When integrating charging stations, we recommend connecting certified hardware from chargecloud (see here).
NOTE: The following links are in the restricted access area, which can only be accessed by clients.
In this article, you will find an overview of the available protocol integration options, such as OCPP 1.5 and OCPP 1.6. Learn more about the integration via OCPP 1.6 here.
We recommend using the new OCPP Layer 1.6 JSON for the new integration of stations (see here).
TIP: In general, chargecloud is manufacturer agnostic, so any charging station can be connected via the OCPP 1.5 and OCPP 1.6 protocols. In this article, you will find an overview of connected charging infrastructure (manufacturers). Find out the difference between connected and certified hardware here.
