SetChargingProfile results in FormationValidation Error

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to send a SetChargingProfile Command to the station via the lib, but I’m getting a FormationValidation Error back. It might be the stations problem or me/the lib sending a wrong message/part of the message. Anyone else seeing a similar issue?

I’m testing with a eBee station.

Message sent to the station:

  2, 
  "faa4aaaf-5dad-482e-8353-6d5bc613e39e", 
  "SetChargingProfile", 
  {

      }, 
      "stackLevel": 0, 
      "transactionId": 2
    },

  }

Hi @froehr

I think you are spot on the money! I can even see that the Xml parser is instructed to call it csChargingProfiles: https://github.com/ChargeTimeEU/Java-OCA-OCPP/blob/master/ocpp-v1_6/src/main/java/eu/chargetime/ocpp/model/smartcharging/SetChargingProfileRequest.java#L90

Could it be as simple as to rename the field to getCsChargingProfiles/setCsChargingProfiles? Can I get you guys to test it? I don’t have any equipment to test against. If it works, I’ll accept it in as a PR 😃

Hi Steve,

I can try to check the message up against the OCPP specs. I know there’s some rules to follow when it comes to the profile.
