The charging station is physically installed and powered on
The charging station is updated to the latest software version
The myWallbox app is installed on your device
You have a myWallbox account and are logged in

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Connect the charging station to the network

Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the charging station
Verify the connection is established by checking the LED on the charging station or in the myWallbox app

For network infrastructure requirements and troubleshooting, see Infrastructure requirements for the gateway.

2. Access the charging station settings

Open the myWallbox app
Follow the app setup assistant to add your charging station

3. Enable communication via OCPP

Navigate to
Settings (cogwheel icon) → External Management
Configure the following OCPP settings:
- URL: ws://:8180/ocpp, replace with the IP address of your gateway
Save the settings

Your charger will restart automatically. An OCPP icon will appear on your charger's app overview screen.

If the OCPP settings don't appear, contact Wallbox Customer Service to check charger compatibility.

4. Discover the charging station in the commissioning wizard

The Wallbox Commander 2 connects directly to the gateway via OCPP and will not appear in the commissioning wizard scanner. After configuring OCPP, the connection is established automatically — no manual discovery step is required.

FAQ

Why doesn't the charging station appear in the commissioning wizard?

The Wallbox Commander 2 uses OCPP protocol to communicate with the gateway and does not appear in the scanner results. After configuring the OCPP connection settings, the charging station connects directly to the gateway without requiring discovery through the commissioning wizard.

How do I update the firmware of the charging station?

You can perform the update through the myWallbox app. For detailed update instructions, refer to the official Wallbox documentation.

Can I use WiFi instead of Ethernet?

Yes, the Wallbox Commander 2 supports both Ethernet and WiFi connections. However, Ethernet is recommended for more reliable communication. If you use WiFi, ensure both the gateway and the charging station are connected to the same network.

What is the OCPP URL format I should enter?

Enter ws://:8180/ocpp where is the IP address of your gateway device. For example, if your gateway IP is 192.168.1.100, enter: ws://192.168.1.100:8180/ocpp
