What is OCPP and why does it matter for smart sockets?

Use the published answer as a decision aid, not as a substitute for current technical documents.

Short answer

OCPP is the Open Charge Point Protocol, the global open standard connecting charging hardware with management platforms (CSMS). For smart sockets it means vendor-independent control: sessions, metering, remote commands and firmware updates all work with any OCPP-compliant platform, so you are never locked to one supplier's cloud.
