OCPP charger simulator

Test commissioning without waiting on hardware

Exercise open OCPP against the DeviceNIQ Chargers CSMS — validate onboarding, go-live gates, and live session flows before chargers arrive on site.

Lab bench with unbranded charger and console for OCPP simulation

Why it exists

Hardware is context — the OS still has to be proven

DeviceNIQ Chargers is software for operators. The simulator lets platform, QA, and field teams prove the charging OS lifecycle before physical chargers are online.

Virtual charge points

Spin up simulated chargers that speak OCPP 1.6 to the production AWS IoT gateway — same CSMS path your real hardware will use.

Commission & go-live drills

Walk Provision → Commission → Operate with synthetic assets so onboarding gates, approvals, and console visibility are proven before field install.

QA & demo ready

Reproduce sessions, faults, and status transitions for regression tests, sales demos, and operator training — without depot downtime.

Open protocol path

Connects to ocpp.chargers.deviceniq.com — the same open OCPP endpoint Chargers uses in production. No proprietary CSMS lock-in.

Typical flow

From virtual charger to live console

  1. 01
    Provision Create or select a demo org, site, and charger IDs in onboarding.
  2. 02
    Connect Point the simulator at the AWS OCPP WebSocket with your charge point ID.
  3. 03
    Commission Complete readiness checks and hand off into the live console.
  4. 04
    Operate Run sessions, status changes, and fault scenarios against the CSMS.

Desktop UI

Organizations, seeding, and OCPP status in one workspace

The full simulator lives on desktop — manage orgs, seed virtual chargers, and watch OCPP connection progress before you take the same flows onto a phone.

  • Org table with seeded charger progress and ACTIVE status
  • Seed chargers and clean unrelated demo data in one pass
  • Same VPN-gated UI as mobile — optimized for wide screens
DeviceNIQ Charger Simulator web — organizations, seeding progress, and OCPP status

Access

How to get in

The simulator UI is at sim.chargers.deviceniq.com. Employee VPN is required — same trust boundary as other internal Chargers operator tools.

  • Use for commissioning rehearsals, QA regression, and guided technical demos
  • Pairs with onboarding orgs and the live operations console
  • See mobile screenshots and walkthrough on the Mobile · Simulator tab
  • See OCPP compatibility for protocol posture
