Add your OCPP Charger to your Killswitch account using the "Add new device" button available at the "My devices" area.
When adding a new OCPP device, please take note of the OCPP server URL you should use - i.e. "ws://bridge1.killswitch.cc/[device_number]".
Before updating the OCPP server address, please make sure your device has Internet access. Update your device to use the provided Killswitch OCPP Server URL.
To be able to receive payments from Killswitch for the usage of your EV Charger, you will need to create your connected Financial Account.
You can create your connected Financial Account from the "Account settings" area, under the "Financial Account" section.
To configure your device checkout settings, use the "edit" button on the OCPP device's card.
In the device configuration you will be able to specify the usage unit (in minutes, hours or days), the min and max usage duration, the unit price (if payments should be used) and other settings.
Once you have installed and configured your smart switch, you will be able to download the QR code that contains the link to your switch online control page.
You should print the switch QR code with the size that best suits you and post it next to your EV Charger.
Normally the EV Chargers are placed outdoor and subject to extreme weather. In order to protect the QR code, you should print it using weather resistant materials.
Note: if you are not able to print the QR code in a weather resistant material, please contact our support desk and request your QR code printouts.
By scanning the QR code with their smartphone, users will be able to open the Killswitch checkout / device control page to choose the charge duration, make the payment (if required) and start using your Charger.
