Description

I am new to this simulator. I got it working, and it definitely seems promising.

The message flow is:

1. OCPP Server: RemoteStopTransaction
2. ChargePoint Simulator: StopTransaction
3. ChargePointSimulator: StatusNotification Available.

That StatusNotification Available is sent automatically, but this does not happen with the actual chargers we are using (ABB). StatusNotification is only sent when the physical connector is unplugged.

System

System:
OS: Linux 6.8 Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS 22.04.5 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish)

Memory: 6.00 GB / 14.46 GB
Container: Yes

Expected result

StatusNotification Available should NOT be sent automatically following a StopTransaction.

StopTransaction may be sent as a result of the RemoteStopTransaction, or the Stop button on the HMI on the charger.

Actual result

Simulator sent Status Notification Available

It's the intended behavior for now since there's no simulation at the connector level: lock/unlock, plug/unplug.

[entropical]

Fair enough. My use case involved potentially multiple remotestart/remotestop commands, which needs the connector to stay connected.

Tool works well in general though, thanks for your work.

One can do a PR adding a tunable at the charging station template level to not consider the car is unplugged at transaction stop.
