CU-Simulator

This is the app for tablet to simulate charges on a charging point on street or in a parking

You can download it here:

In the "real life" the mobile applications are expected to charge the car in two different ways:

1. on street: the mobile app sends a http request to our backend api - and then our backend api forwards the request to Enel and then Enel dispatches the request to the charging point
2. in a parking: the mobile app connects to the charging point via blue tooth (because in parking 3G-4G connectivity is not guaranteed since they can be located underground) - and then the charging point forwards the request to Enel (the charging points, on the contrary, are guaranteed to have connectivity) and then Enel connects to our backend api

The CU-Simulator app interacts with the mobile applications in the same way, depending on the simulation is set to happen on street or in parking. You can opt for on-street-mode or parking-mode simply choosing a charging point located on street or in a parking from the dropdown menu

How to distinguish charging points on street from charging points in a parking:

• charging points on street: their name is not preceded by a [P]
• charging points in parking: their name is preceded by a [P]

What infos are displayed:

When you simulate a charging points you should see the following informations:

• The "mnemonic" name of the charging point
• The evse-id of the charging point (when they end in "*2" it means that the charging point is located on the right of the charging station, "*1" otherwise)
• The status, "AVAILABLE", "RESERVED", "OUT OF SERVICE", ecc...
• The elapsed consumption in kWh (during a charge)
• The elapsed time (during a charge)

Before starting:

Ensure that:

1. Blue tooth is turned on on tablet
2. CU-Simulator is the only app using blue tooth (so check that Dashboard app and Q_Simulator app are totally turned off, not only in background)
3. The tablet is connected to the Internet
4. You selected the right environment in the top left dropdown menu among Developer, Staging, Sandbox and Production

To simulate a charge on street:

Select an on street charging point from the dropdown menu and press "START SIMULATE"
