Which OCPP URL do I enter on a Webasto for askacharge.com?

wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand, where your-brand is the brand identifier on askacharge.com; the charger appends its identity. The identity must match the one registered in the panel and the password stays blank unless the charger's OCPP credential has been enabled.

Do I lose the manufacturer's app when I set OCPP on a Webasto?

Some app functions move to the OCPP platform (start, cards, statistics). The hardware stays the same and you can go back by changing the URL again.

How to change the OCPP server URL on a Webasto charger (Unite) and connect it to another platform

Q: Can a Webasto charger be connected to a platform other than the manufacturer's?

Yes. The Unite, Unite MID, Next, Pure models speak standard OCPP and let you change the server URL. Unite: the charger's web interface (over its Wi-Fi hotspot —name and key on the label, same QR as the Webasto Charger Setup app— or over LAN), OCPP menu. DIP switch 3 must be ON. Next / Pure: hotspot NEXT-…, web at 172.20.0.1, Backend menu.

A Webasto charger that speaks standard OCPP can be connected to any platform by changing one setting. Here is where that setting lives on Unite, Unite MID, Next, Pure, 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

Unite: the charger's web interface (over its Wi-Fi hotspot —name and key on the label, same QR as the Webasto Charger Setup app— or over LAN), OCPP menu. DIP switch 3 must be ON. Next / Pure: hotspot NEXT-…, web at 172.20.0.1, Backend menu.

Step by step

Unite: with the charger off, DIP 3 ON (enables the web; DIP 2 ON pins Ethernet to 192.168.0.100 if you prefer cable). Power on.
Join the charger's hotspot and open its address in the browser (192.168.1.1 over the hotspot). Username admin; password from the label (on older Vestel-platform units, admin: change it).
OCPP settings: OCPP Connection = Enabled; version 1.6; Central System Address = your brand's base URL (below); Charge Point ID = the one printed on the housing (e.g. 7000335522000003) or whatever you register. Save.
Network interfaces: Wi-Fi, Ethernet or SIM so it has internet. Restart. It shows as connected within a couple of minutes.
Next / Pure: open 172.20.0.1 with admin and the Master Password from the manual → Backend: Connection type, Connection URL = base wss URL; on Live units, SSL Client Mode = "Encrypt only – No authentication". Save and Restart System.

What to enter to connect it to askacharge.com

OCPP server URL	`wss://askacharge.com/askacharge/ocpp/your-brand` — your-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 identity	The same one you register in the panel when adding the charger. Case-sensitive. With Webasto, the serial number is the easiest choice.
Password	Blank 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.
Protocol	OCPP 1.6J (JSON) or OCPP 2.0.1. Subprotocol `ocpp1.6` / `ocpp2.0.1`.
Before connecting	The 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 it connects but will not charge, the firmware is old: ask Webasto (now Ampure) for the update before touching anything else.
A factory reset (button 5 s) wipes the OCPP and network configuration.
If you change the hotspot name or key, the QR code for the Webasto Charger Setup app stops working.

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.
