Ohme and OCPP: what you can and cannot do

Ohme sells on its Octopus integration and on arriving "ready": SIM included, nothing to configure. That same design is what closes it. Here is what you can do with one and what you cannot, plainly.

Where the setting lives (it does not)

Nowhere you can reach. Ohme's installation guide says it as it is: the chargers "use a 4G data connection" and "are pre-configured in the factory to talk directly to the Ohme backend server". There is no web interface, no charger Wi-Fi, and the Ohme app has no OCPP server section. When a sales sheet says "OCPP 1.6J available for direct integration" it means agreements between the Ohme cloud and fleet or energy platforms, closed between companies; the owner is not involved.

What you can do today

  1. If what you want is smart tariff charging (Octopus Intelligent Go, etc.), Ohme does it better than almost anyone through its direct integration: you do not need OCPP for that.
  2. If you are a fleet or an energy provider and want data or control, the route is an agreement with Ohme (Ohme for Business), not a setting on the charger.
  3. If you need to manage it with your platform —tariffs, cards, several units, invoicing— it cannot be done today with an Ohme: there is no field, no alternative firmware, and the SIM belongs to Ohme.
  4. 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.
  5. If Ohme opens the field, this page changes the same day. It is dated in the header.

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.
