How to change the OCPP server URL on a Easee charger

A Easee charger that speaks standard OCPP can be connected to any platform by changing one setting. Here is where that setting lives on Home, Charge, Charge Core, Charge Lite, One, exactly what to enter, and where people usually get stuck. Written by a platform (askacharge.com), but the procedure works for any.

Where the setting lives

There is no field in the app. Easee's native OCPP is enabled through its API (api.easee.com/local-ocpp) with your own user account: three HTTP calls. We say it as it is; you do not need to be a programmer, but you do need to copy and paste carefully.

Step by step

  1. Update the charger to firmware 344 or later from the Easee app. The site must have Easee as operator (if another platform is set as operator, unlink it first).
  2. Get a token: POST https://api.easee.com/api/accounts/login with {"userName": "your-email", "password": "your-password"}. The response carries accessToken (valid 1 hour). Every following call sends the header Authorization: Bearer <accessToken>.
  3. Store the configuration: POST https://api.easee.com/local-ocpp/v1/connection-details/<serial-number> with body {"connectivityMode": "DualProtocol", "websocketConnectionArgs": {"url": "wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand", "caCertificate": "<ISRG Root X1 PEM>", "caCertificateDomain": "askacharge.com"}}. The Let's Encrypt root certificate (ISRG Root X1) is downloaded from letsencrypt.org/certificates.
  4. Apply it: POST https://api.easee.com/local-ocpp/v1/connections/chargers/<serial-number> with {}.
  5. Check with GET https://api.easee.com/local-ocpp/v1/connection-details/<serial-number>. The identity the charger uses is its serial number (EH…, EC…): register it like that in the panel. It connects within a few minutes.

What to enter to connect it to askacharge.com

OCPP server URLwss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brandyour-brand is your brand's identifier on askacharge.com (shown under Chargers → Add, with the full URL ready to copy). The charger appends its own identity; if your unit only has a URL field and no identity field, enter the full URL: …/ocpp/your-brand/identity.
Charge point identityThe same one you register in the panel when adding the charger. Case-sensitive. With Easee, the serial number is the easiest choice.
PasswordBlank by default. If you enable the charger's OCPP credential in the panel (recommended for units exposed to the internet), the username is the identity and the password is the one the panel generates: OCPP Security Profile 2.
ProtocolOCPP 1.6J (JSON) or OCPP 2.0.1. Subprotocol ocpp1.6 / ocpp2.0.1.
Before connectingThe charger must be registered in the brand with that identity; otherwise the server rejects the connection. Register under Chargers → Add.

Where it usually fails

If your brand isn't here

The procedure is always the same; what changes is where the setting lives: look in the manufacturer's app, in the charger's web interface (by its IP) or in the installer software for a section called OCPP, Back office, Central System or Server. You need to be able to enter the URL and, nearly always, the identity. If the field is locked or missing, the manufacturer has tied the charger to its own platform: read what to do when the manufacturer locks or switches off its server.
