Not able to start/stop a Charging session

[bausi2k]

Hi,

I've tried to initiate charging session with an ID(Charging Card ID).
I've deployed the example Project with my Keba P30x and OCPP 1.6(Soap) and almoast everything works. I get the heartbeat, the charging station also states, that the connections is working fine, but i'm not able to start a charging session.
I've also setup the steve project and everything works fine. I'm able to initiate a session with the cardId "ABCD12".

For the Node Red implementation I can't figure out the right syntax. I've tried the "CS Request Soap" with the "RemoteStartTransaction" and the ID
{ "connectorId":1, "idTag":"ABCD12" }

which just ends in a reboot of the docker container…

I've tried also the "CS Request Soap" with:
{ "command": "RemoteStopTransaction", "data": { "connectorId": [ 1 ], "idTag": [ "ABCD12" ] } }
which results in
Error: undefined: undefined

I'm pretty frustrated, because I don't want to always use my card for activating... I want to auto enable it via a remote trigger from Loxone…
Pls help

@bausi2k The image above shows JSON configuration, but you're mentioning CS Request SOAP. What kind of communication does your CP support? SOAP, JSON or both? I don't think it's common for CPs to support both, and JSON is the more popular method of the two.

Just FYI, the command in the image you've shown is syntactically correct, so I'm guessing that you're either having a communication transport issue, or the idTag is not pre-approved on your CP. On my CP it returns with a variable from GetConfiguration that looks like this: "RfidTagFreeCharging": "00000000000000". So if you want to use a specific value for that, check your configuration.
