Where the setting lives (it does not)
It does not exist. Emporia writes it in its help centre: "The Emporia EV Charger is not currently OCPP compatible"; on its developer integrations page, OCPP is listed among the platforms "not currently supported" with "no specific development timeline". The charger is set up and controlled from the Emporia app and talks only to its cloud. The Pro EV Charger (for businesses) datasheet does not mention OCPP either.
What you can do today
- If you need OCPP for a rebate programme, Emporia refers you to its support: some programmes require it and this charger does not meet it. Check before buying.
- If what you want is to measure, schedule by tariff or share power at home, the Emporia app and Vue meter do it without OCPP.
- If you need to manage it with your platform —tariffs, cards, several units, invoicing— it cannot be done today with an Emporia. Emporia offers its own API with limited access; it is not OCPP and does not work with a CSMS.
- If the charger is for a business and you have not bought it yet, choose one with an editable OCPP URL and ask for it in writing. The brands below are checked one by one.
- If Emporia ships OCPP, this page changes the same day. It is dated in the header.
Where it usually fails
- A charger appearing in "solar compatible" or "smart" lists says nothing about OCPP. They are different things.
- "Planned for a future update" has been in various Emporia texts since 2023; the integrations page today says "no timeline". Buy for what it does, not for what it promises.
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.
