Send a raw start-charging command to an EV charger (wallbox)
Push a raw start command onto the wire of the EV charger identified by the given UUID.
This is the wire escape hatch, not “charge now”. On an OCPP charger it sends one RemoteStart plus a charging profile at the charger’s installed maximum, carrying a 4-hour fail-open lease: when nothing renews the command the charger returns to its own configured behaviour. OCPP still applies — the command can resume a paused transaction, but it cannot create one without a cable and authorisation at the charger.
It is refused while a charging session steers the charger, because that session re-asserts its own profile within one steering poll and would undo the command:
- Something is steering (a wallbox solar/price session, or the owner’s EV charging
through this charger): 409 with
reason=steering_activeandsteerernaming which one. To charge now under an optimized session, usePOST /boostinstead. - Nothing is steering: 204, and the command reaches the charger.
Returns 501 when the charger’s brand has no remote start, and 503 while the charger is
not reachable yet (retry_after_seconds).
