Continuous Asset Creation

Once configured, the app starts Continuous Asset Creation (CAC). Discovered resources are automatically created as assets in Eliona, and users are informed via the Eliona notification system.

The GP Joule infrastructure is managed via the charging point asset, which groups all charging points by their cluster name. Each charging point can have one or more connections, each with its own charging properties.

In addition, a session log asset is created for each connection, which provides historical records of all charging sessions.
