Monta Control
Monta Control is the technical command center for your charging network, giving operators real-time visibility into station health, OCPP integrations, firmware management, and AI-assisted diagnostics in one place.
Monta Control gives operators and technical teams a real-time view of all connected charging stations, their network performance, and Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) integrations. It is the technical interface for Monta's system — enabling you to review charging station logs, get aggregated site power statistics, and manage firmware upgrades.
Monta Control provides:
- Real-time monitoring and network analytics
- Streamlined configuration of OCPP endpoints and station details
- AI-assisted debugging via Monta AI (rolling out progressively)
- Faster navigation with modular tabs and data-rich panels
Monta AI in Control
Monta Control includes a built-in assistant, Monta AI, accessible at any time to help you understand station behavior, diagnose issues, and get guided troubleshooting.
Access Monta AI from any page in Monta Control using the Monta AI button in the bottom-right corner.
Monta AI provides:
- Explanations of charging states (for example, Preparing, SuspendedEV, Ready)
- Guidance on why a station or EVSE may be offline
- Insights into session flow and charging outcomes
- Support interpreting OCPP messages and error states
- Faster diagnostics before escalating to a technician or hardware partner
Charging stations
Your central overview of every charging station in your network. From this section you can:
- Monitor the operational state of your network in real time
- Identify offline or misbehaving stations instantly
- Access full technical details of each station
- Execute OCPP commands for troubleshooting or configuration
- View uptime, network data, and raw OCPP logs
- Manage security and access (password operations, cable lock state)
How to navigate charging stations
- Go to Charging Stations in the sidebar.
- Search by name or identity to locate a station.
- Use the filters to show stations by OCPP version (1.6 or 2.0.1) or by connection state (connected or disconnected).
- Click a station to open its detail view.
Station detail view
The station detail view is the control center for an individual charger. It combines diagnostics, network insights, and remote OCPP actions.
Assess station health at a glance
The top section shows:
- Online or offline state, and when the station last connected
- Error codes reported by the station
- Load balancing status
- Access security (secured or unsecured)
- Supported features (Plug & Charge, AutoCharge, Free Charging, Cable Lock)
- Vendor, model, firmware version, and OCPP version
- Integration type (for example, direct OCPP or cloud integration such as Zaptec Cloud)
Run remote OCPP actions
The Actions menu gives you direct control over the station. Available actions include:
- Send Heartbeat
- Restart Station
- Sync State
- Change Availability
- Trigger Message
- Clear Charging Profile
- Data Transfer
- Get Diagnostics
- Enable Cable Lock
- Set / Reset / Remove Password
- Disconnect
Check uptime and network stability
The Uptime & Network tab shows:
- Connection stability (uptime percentage)
- Time online versus offline
- Network information (city, region, ISP, ASN) if detected
- Trends over 7, 30, or 90 days
Monitor cellular SIM activity
In the Network & Data Consumption tab, you can monitor SIM identifiers (IMSI, ICCID) and daily and total data usage.
