Start charging with different RFID credentials

[bbking78]

Hi,

thanks for your work on this node!
we have two different RFID tags and I'd like to start charging with either the first or second RFID tag, depending on which car is connected. Is there a way to do this as I have not found the right parameters on the API page (https://developer.easee.com/reference/post_api-chargers-chargerid-commands-start-charging)
Would be great to have a hint on that.
Thanks!

Hey,

Unfortunately it would appear that the API does not stream RFID tag event, atleast on my device - but I have not activated RFID based charging.
I'll check with my other one when it comes online if i get something on that one.

I see now that some observations exist that might be interesting for this usecase, I will have to look into what data is returned:

69 | PAIRED USER IDTOKEN | Observed user token when charger put in RFID pairing mode
108 | USER IDTOKEN REVERSED | User ID token string from RFID reading (NB! Must reverse these strings) | String | Event
128 | USER IDTOKEN | User ID token string from RFID reading | String | Event

Thanks for your effort!
In the meantime, I had a bad experience: the charger is operated by reev, that bills the charging for the company car to my company, and ignoring the charching done with our private RFID key. When I start the chargeing over Node-Red, reev doesnt recognize that it should be recorded for the company bill, so I've run a full charging without refund. This wasn't a desaster but I recognized, that it can't be done like that. I contacted reev but they dont offer an API whatsoever... :(
