Feature Profiles Overview
OCPP 2.0.1 groups functionality into feature profiles. Joulepoint currently certifies Core, Firmware Management, Local Authorization List, Reservation, and Smart Charging profiles.
Enable only the profiles required for your deployment to minimise network chatter and simplify certification.
Certificate Management
Use the CertificateSigned and InstallCertificate messages to rotate TLS and manufacturer certificates. Joulepoint's CSMS validates the certificate chain against EVITA-compliant roots.
Certificate expiry reminders are available via webhook. Subscribe to the device.certificate.expiring event to trigger automated renewals.
Smart Charging Strategies
Charging Profiles can be hierarchical. Define a default profile at the station level and layer connector-specific profiles for depot vehicles that require priority.
Use the TariffCost element to map utility time-of-day rates. The CSMS then optimises schedules to respect cost ceilings while meeting vehicle departure times.
