Charge Amps Halo

Supported features

RFID: Integrated RFID card reader for vehicle identification.

Parameters

Name	Description	Level
`stationid`	Station ID Unique identifier of the charger. Automatically detected once the charger connects. Example: `EVB-P12354`	optional
`connector`	Connector number For multi-connector stations. Numbering starts at 1. Default: `1`	advanced
`remotestart`	Start remote transaction on vehicle connection Only enable this option if there is no way to initiate transactions from the charger side! This is only the case if e.g. no RFID reader is available and charging processes would have to be released individually via app. Normally, the charger should always be configured at the device so that either an RFID card is used for activation or the charger is set to "Autostart", "Free Charging" or similar. First check the documentation and configuration possibilities of the charger, ask the manufacturer if necessary! (Uses OCPP RemoteStartTransaction)	advanced
`idtag`	Authentication token This option is only required in exceptional cases if the charger requires a specific token for accepting external transactions. (Uses OCPP RemoteStartTransaction) Example: `evcc`	advanced
`connecttimeout`	Timeout for registration Timeout for the registration of the charging point Default: `5m`	advanced
`meterinterval`	Transmission interval for meter values Time interval for transmission of meter values (MeterValueSampleInterval) Default: `10s`	advanced
`metervalues`	Meter values for transmission Manual specification of the meter values to be configured (MeterValuesSampledData) Example: `Energy.Active.Import.Register,Power.Active.Import,SoC,Current.Offered,Power.Offered,Current.Import,Voltage`	advanced
