GP Joule
The GP Joule app provides integration and synchronization between Eliona and GP Joule services.
Overview
This guide provides instructions on configuring, installing, and using the GP Joule app to manage resources and synchronize data between Eliona and GP Joule services.
Installation

The GP Joule app requires configuration through Eliona’s settings interface. Below are the general steps and details needed to configure the app effectively.
Registering the app in GP Joule Service
Create credentials in GP Joule Service to connect the GP Joule services from Eliona. All required credentials are listed below in the configuration section.
Please contact GP Joule to get the URL for API access and your access key.
Configure the GP Joule app
Configurations can be created in Eliona under Apps > GP Joule > Settings which opens the app's Generic Frontend. Here you can use the appropriate endpoint with the POST method. Each configuration requires the following data:

"apiKey": "s3cr3t",
"enable": true,
"refreshInterval": 60,
"requestTimeout": 120,

]
}Continuous Asset Creation
Once configured, the app starts Continuous Asset Creation (CAC). Discovered resources are automatically created as assets in Eliona, and users are notified via Eliona’s notification system.
The GP Joule infrastructure is managed through the charge point asset, which groups all charge points by their cluster name. Each charge point can have one or more connectors, each with its own charging properties.
Additionally, a session log asset is created for each connector, providing historical records of all charging sessions.
Additional Features
