   1 # OCPP2 Mock Server
   2
   3 This project includes a mock Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) version 2.0.1 server implemented in Python.
   4
   5 ## Prerequisites
   6
   7 This project requires Python 3.7+ and the following Python packages:
   8
   9 - `websockets`
  10 - `ocpp`
  11
  12 You can install these packages using pip:
  13 ```
  14 pip install websockets ocpp
  15 ```
  16
  17 ## Running the Server
  18
  19 To start the server, run the `server.py` script:
  20
  21 ```
  22 python server.py
  23 ```
  24
  25 The server will start listening for connections on port 9000.
  26
  27 ## Overview of the Server Scripts
  28
  29 ### Server.py
  30
  31 The server script waits for connections from clients. When a client connects, the server creates a new instance of the `ChargePoint` class. This class includes methods for handling various OCPP actions (`BootNotification`,`GetBaseReport`), most of which return a dummy response. The `GetBaseReport` method prints the received request and returns a simple confirmation message.
  32
  33 The server script uses the websockets and ocpp libraries to facilitate the WebSocket and OCPP communication.
  34
  35 ## Note
  36
  37 Primarily, this software is intended for testing applications. The server scripts don't execute full OCPP adherence and it is advised not to use them in a production environment without additional development.
