Prevent the creation of Smart sessions

During a Smart session Jedlix will optimise charging. The optimisation algorithm will consider the customer preferences and charge location settings to determine the most optimal moments to charge. Jedlix will continuously update the optimal moment to charge based on incoming information during the session. This is especially important when an energy market integration is running in the background.

In some case customers want to deviate from the default behavior they have configured in the app or temporarily stop the Smart Charging service. The Smart Charging API allows you to facilitate this in the app in two ways:

Boost mode

When a customer is having a smart charging session, smart charging can be overruled by activating “boost” charge. When this is set, Jedlix will schedule to start charging the EV as soon as possible. The EV will continue to charge up to the desiredBatteryLevel as long as “boost” mode is enabled.

“Boost” mode is a setting that specifically applies to an active session and can be activated via Update the settings for an active session by sessionId by providing the following in the body.

{
  "type": "boostCharging",
  "enabled": true
}

Disable smart charging

When a customer wants to prevent the creation Smart sessions, the smart charging service can (temporarily) be disabled via Update charge settings by providing the following in the body.

{
  "isSmartChargingEnabled": false,
  "enableSmartChargingAt": "2023-10-01T00:00:000"
}

In this case Jedlix will keep ingesting the data of the EV but only register unmanaged sessions. This allows the user to monitor the sessions and calculated details.

When smart charging is disabled while a smart charging session is active, Jedlix will force-end the session and create a new unmanaged one upon receiving the next telemetry.
