WebApi of remote start, remote stop and connector status

[fnkbsi]

Adding a Webapi for RemoteStart, RemoteStop and Connector Status. The RestApi behaves similarly to the website. RemoteStart and RemoteStop respond with the task ID that can be used to check the result of TransactionStart/TransactionStop.

Another request, is it would be awesome to have meter readdings while accessing the transacion, i.e total kwh, power etc, is it something that can be added?

Great work by the way!

You mean something like at /transactions/details/{transactionPk}? (Prototype see https://github.com/fnkbsi/steve/tree/ApiTransactionDetails)

Okay I will check it out.
Also, I noticed you merged the master head commit, does it mean that this remoteStart feature is compatible with the latest steve version on the master branch?

I tried with task id but unfortunately, I amfacing the same error, probably I might be doing something wrong.

You send get method ./tasks/task?id=1 (1 is the task you looking for)?
Have you recompiled the project?

I hope so, but it's @goekay's decision.

Did all that still gives the same error.

steve changed to basic auth for the api. add a api_password to the web_user in the database and try again with basic authentication. There is no website for setting the api_password, so you have to set it otherwise.

I haven't test it with the basic auth! There may be more problems.

I just try this but it doesnt work...

Hi @fnkbsi

Thank you for this!
I have been trying to get the Remote/start to work, but I keep getting
"status": 500,
"error": "Internal Server Error",
"message": "Cannot invoke "java.lang.Integer.intValue()" because "connectorId" is null",
despite passing valid connectorId value, when i change to GET method, I get
{
"chargePointList": [
{
"chargeBoxId": "A20B254439517",
"connectorIds": [
1
]
}
]
}
Which means my authentication and all are fine, please could you point to what I may be doing wrongly here?

Thank you once again.
