Hello have spent a few hours trying to get the simulation working but I was not successful. I'm working on the master branch
I feel like I'm missing something. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me with this.

Thanks

I did follow the readme, (installing the node packages etc.) It was straight forward. I was also able to get the UI working. However my simulator is not able to simulate the charge(s).

my zsh logs

The documentation is implicit about OCPP server requirement and assumes the user has at minimum read and understood the OCPP protocol specs.

There's no OCPP server started and listening on localhost port 8010. Running a client of a client/server design requires some minimum knowledge about client/server architecture.

Hi Jerome thank you for your response.
The part that is not clear to me is the communication between the UIServer and the simulated charge points. I was under the assumption that UIServer was setup to act as a simple OCPP server. But I believe its just a tool to communicate actions with the OCPP server and the simulated charge points. So to run this end-to-end I need to run a OCPP server like Steve and use its endpoint by setting supervisionUrls at src/assets/config.json.

Am I correct ?

Thank you
