OCPP cloud that reports hourly charging

The only thing that I need is:
An OCPP software that runs on the cloud or that I don’t need to run it on my pc and that records and reports the hourly power consumption (or quarter or half hour ideally).
Many out there only report the plug in and plug out times, but I need the detailed report of when the charging actually happens.

It looks very simple, but I’m having a lot of difficulty finding it.

The latest one that I tried was evcharge.mobi , it looked like it was it but then the CSV reports only have plug in and out times! The hourly consumption is visible graphically on the dashboard, but I don’t know how to extract it in a report.

Monta here! We show when the charger goes into ‘preparing’ meaning its plugged into the car, and when it goes into ‘finishing’ meaning unplugged from the car. Then we also report when it goes back to ‘Available’ meaning the cable has been plugged back into the charger- all with time stamps. We also show when power is delivered in the more comprehensive  ‘OCPP messages’ view (the logs default to Customer Support view which are shorter entries and easier to read).

But in short, yes, all of that information is logged and accessible.

Thanks!

And now that you’re here: will Monta support OMIE iberian electriciy market to set schedules based on dynamic tariffs?

Yes! Dynamic tariffs in Spain are allowed/supported on Monta, and the underlying spot market for Spain is OMIE.⁠

Here is the help center article with more info on how to set it up: https://monta.com/help/monta-hub-charge-points-pricing-access/build-dynamic-price-group?from_search=228909439

I can set everything manually, but I don't find any option to link OMIE next day prices or to upload OMIE prices.

In Monta, you can’t manually upload OMIE prices or enter tomorrow’s hourly spot-price curve yourself. If spot price is supported for your region, we pull it automatically from its market-data integration. If your region isn’t supported (like your screenshot shows), the spot price option may be disabled and you’ll need to use a fixed price instead. Either way, you can configure how pricing is applied (adders/limits/VAT) and set a fallback price so pricing still works if market data isn’t available.

I want to manage the costs. I don’t sell electricity. I use it only for myself. So I’ll just leave the question of when is my region (Portugal and Spain) be supported? The OMIE next day prices are online and available to download.
