Chargekeeper supervision lets you configure a charging station's OCPP settings from the Charging Stations module and the OCPP Settings tab: 

 

This guide walks you through the essential OCPP settings and recommends the most suitable configurations: 

 

OCPP key Description Recommendation
ConnectionTimeOut  Sets the maximum time the charging station waits for a response from the central system before considering the connection failed. Set a value of at least 60 seconds to avoid premature disconnections in case of network latency.
AuthorizeRemoteTxRequests Indicates whether the charging station must request authorization from the central system for remotely initiated session starts. Enable the setting (TRUE) to ensure authorization of sessions started remotely by the central system.
AllowOfflineTxForUnknownId Determines whether an offline session can be started with a badge unknown to the central system. Enable the setting (FALSE) so as not to allow offline charging sessions with a badge not recognized by the central system.
HeartbeatInterval Sets how often the charging station sends a keep-alive message (heartbeat) to the central system. Set a value between 3,600 and 43,200 seconds depending on network and operational constraints.
MeterValuesAlignedData Defines the metering data sent at synchronized moments during a session. Always include the Energy.Active.Import.Register measurement to ensure reliable consumption tracking.
MeterValueSampleInterval Sets the time interval between two consumption metering reports during a session. Set an interval between 60 and 300 seconds for a good balance between accuracy and data volume.
MeterValuesSampledData Specifies the types of measurements sent periodically during charging (energy, power, voltage, etc.). Always include the Energy.Active.Import.Register measurement in the data reported during charging.
StopTxnAlignedData Defines the metering data sent at the end of a charging session. Always include the Energy.Active.Import.Register measurement at the end of the session to ensure reliable billing data.
StopTxnSampledData Specifies the measurement values transmitted when the transaction stops. Always include the Energy.Active.Import.Register measurement in the data transmitted when the transaction stops.
TransactionMessageAttempts Sets the number of attempts to send transaction messages in case of communication failure. Set a value between 3 and 10 attempts to ensure message delivery in case of network instability.
WebSocketPingInterval Sets how often Ping messages are sent to keep the WebSocket connection active. Set a value between 140 and 220 seconds, with a recommended value of 180 seconds.
LocalAuthListEnabled Enables or disables the use of a local list of authorized badges on the charging station. Enable the setting (TRUE) to allow the use of the local badge list.
LocalAuthorizeOffline Allows a badge to be validated against the local list when the charging station is offline. Enable the setting (TRUE) to allow badge authorization via the local list when the charging station is offline.
LocalPreAuthorize Allows a badge's authorization to be checked locally before the request is sent to the central system. Enable the setting (TRUE) to optimize access control by checking badges locally before calling the central system.
