OCPP testing tools

[bitbs566]

There are several testing/simulations charging point tools floating around in the GitHub aimed to test the functionality of your OCPP server, but unfortunately it seems that neither of them working out of the box correctly. Can anyone suggest good program to test the functionality of the OCPP HA integration while Im waiting my for my OCPP EVSE controller?

Im always get this error in HA:
Logger: custom_components.ocpp
Source: custom_components/ocpp/api.py:205
Protocols mismatched | expected Subprotocols: ['ocpp1.6'], but client supports ocpp1.6, ocpp1.5 | Closing connection

I was able to correct the main.js file on the other side to try to fool OCPP HA server into thinking that it is sending only 1.6 signals, but it doesn't work unfortunately. Does anyone have any ideas? I will be glad to hear anything from you guys, thanks in advance.

This looks like a bug on our side. The client indicates it supports both ocpp1.5 and ocpp1.6. The HA integration supports ocpp1.6 only, so it should accept the connection.

@drc38 cool, I think i'll register, just for the fun of it. got time to join as well?

@lbbrhzn nice one, let me know how it goes. I'm not setup to have an internet-based connection into my HA server. Perhaps we look at adding secure websocket beforehand? Did you see my suggestion on being able to override FeatureProfiles on setup?

[lbbrhzn]

I can use port forwarding and reverse proxy allow both secure and non-secure connections straight into my visual studio container.
Would be nice to add support for multiple chargepoints beforehand.

Yes, I saw your suggestion for overriding the FeatureProfiles, I'll add that to the config flow. Seems we are adding more and more features to allow non-compliant implementations..

My cynical take is more manufacturers are making tweaks to lock customers into their CMS solution rather than compete on price, features and service...
