bcp-charger-api

bcp-charger-api

A node.js api for controlling the BCP EV chargers (Z-Box compatible chargers).

Most features in the Z-Box app are available, except firmware updates.

Installation:

npm install --save bcp-charger-api

Usage example:

import { DeviceController } from 'bcp-charger-api';

let charger = new DeviceController('123456');

// Take the code from the QR on the charger or the Z-Box app, and let's resolve the IP address for the charger.
await charger.sendGetIpAddress('012345678');

// Let's fetch basic info about the charger so that state commands could work.
await charger.sendGetChargerModel();

if (await charger.sendSetChargeState(true)) {
  console.log('Charging started!');
} else {
  console.log('Charging failed!');
}

// Other commands, documented in the code:
// await charger.sendHeartbeat();
// await charger.sendSetPassword(password);
// await charger.sendSetWifiAccessPoint(ssid, password);
// await charger.sendSetTimedChargeState('22:00', '05:00');
// await charger.sendSetRFIDAndApp(true, true);
// await charger.sendSetDLB(true, false, 16, true);
// await charger.sendSetGroundingDetection(true);
// await charger.sendSetMaxCurrent(16);
// await charger.sendGetRealTimeStatus();
// await charger.sendGetRealTimeData();
// await charger.sendGetControlsState();
// await charger.sendSetBluetoothConnectionMode(true);
// await charger.sendSwitchIapMode(true);
// await charger.sendSetMaxDegrees(85);
// await charger.sendSetReservation('21:00', '05:00', '1011011');
// await charger.sendSetTime();
// await charger.sendGetPowerConsumptionRecords();
// await charger.sendGetPowerConsumptionRecordsOfMonth();
// await charger.sendSetMaxMonthlyCurrent(490);
// await charger.sendSetEmergencyStopProtection(true);

// Other functions, documented in the code:
// await charger.getHost();
// await charger.setHost('255.255.255.255', 3333);
// await charger.getModelData();
// await charger.getLastControlsState();
// await charger.getLastData();
// await charger.getLastStatus();
// await charger.getStatusText();
// await charger.getStatusDesc();
// await charger.canStopCharging();
// await charger.canStartCharging();
