How is Charge Station, Connector and EVSE status determined?

How is Charge Station, Connector and EVSE status determined?

Charge Station Status

Charge station status comes from the OCPP StatusNotification message where connectorId = 0, as per OCPP this is the charger level status. This is then mapped from OCPP to OCPI.

EVSE Status

EVSE status is derived from the Connector Statuses, since we don’t actually receive a status for an Evse in OCPP.
The status of an EVSE is derived by taking the highest value status of all of its connectors.

Connector Status

Connector status is OCPPStatusNotification messages where connectorId > 0 (i.e. connector level). The OCPP is mapped to ocpi.
