eMabler has provided Push API for a long time, but before now it wasn't possible to set it up yourself. With Connect you can now setup Push API using Webhook, Kafka or Azure ServiceBus and start receiving different messages directly to your backend without the need to contact our customer support.
We have also heard your feedback regarding the difficulties on finding relevant information about ongoing sessions, so we wanted to address that. In this release we removed the "Ongoing sessions" under "Activity" from Charger page and moved it under a new Socket page. You can now easily see which sockets have ongoing sessions, click on the "View more" and get a more detailed view of the session. Try it out!
Push API
You can find new settings for Push API under More
> Settings
> Developers
. You can configure Push API to use Webhooks, Kafka or Azure ServiceBus. We support lots of different messages you can receive to your endpoints, for example ChargerState, ChargerBoot or Measurements messages. Instructions on how to take Push API into use can be found here.
Improved ongoing session view
Ongoing sessions are now available under Socket page (click "View more" on the socket). You can now see an overview of the session with session type (Regular/Roaming/Express), start time, duration, RFID used for authorization, estimated consumption, latest amperage/voltage readings, last state of charge information (if charger provides one) and a chart of total energy consumption during the session. In addition to this you have the timeline of the session available with all status changes and messages from charger during the session. This will hugely improve the visibility of different events during the session, which will make it easier to troubleshoot possible problems.
