Occupancy Sensors

Occupancy sensors can determine whether a parking space is occupied by a vehicle. A common application of these sensors is to monitor and display real-time parking spot availability.

Note: For the sake of flexibility and extensibility the API only accepts string values. Invalid data types (e.g., numbers) will be rejected.

For example, an occupancy sensor only accepts:
✅ "true" ✅ "false" ✅ "null" ❌ 123 ❌ "invalid_value"

What about the Charge Point?

The chargePointId associated with the sensor is updated based on the sensor value. When a charge point sensor of type occupancy is set to true, the charge point is considered occupied, and its state transitions to busy_blocked. When the sensor is set to false, the charge point can transition to other states.

To check the current state of a charge point, you can use the Charge Points API to retrieve the state and occupied fields.
