Active Deprecation Index

This page lists all public API components that are currently deprecated in EVerest. It is at least updated with every stable release.

Each entry records the deprecated component, the release in which it was deprecated, the earliest release in which it may be removed (following the minimum deprecation period), and a link to the corresponding migration guide.

Component	Deprecated in	Earliest removal	Migration guide
OCPP module (OCPP 1.6), superseded by OCPPmulti (stable since 2026.10.0).	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Migrate to the Combined OCPP Module. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup.
OCPP201 module (OCPP 2.0.1 / 2.1), superseded by OCPPmulti (stable since 2026.10.0)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Migrate to the Combined OCPP Module. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup.
The RsIskraMeter deprecates its meter implementation_id in favor of main.	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Change implementation_id: meter to implementation_id: main in the config connection
The evse_id topics of the evse_manager_consumer_API AsyncAPI (e2m/evse_id and m2e/evse_id/get), superseded by the get_evse command	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Use the get_evse command, which provides both the eMI3-format EVSE ID (ISO 15118-2 Annex H) and the DIN 70121 EVSE ID (DIN SPEC 91286)
manager --conf, alias of --config (see Manager Command Line Options)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Replace --conf <path> with --config <path> in start scripts and service units. Passing both is rejected; using --conf logs a warning at startup.
manager --db-init, now a no-op (see Manager Command Line Options)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Drop the flag. Seeding the database from the YAML config when it holds no valid configuration is the default with --config --db. Use the experimental --reset-from-yaml to force re-seeding.
settings: block in the EVerest config file (see Manager Settings)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Move the keys of the block into a settings file and pass it with manager --settings <path>. Drop www_dir, controller_port, controller_rpc_timeout_ms and prefix/config_file, which have no effect; run_as_user has no settings file equivalent, see its own entry. The manager logs a warning at startup while the block is used.
ocpp_consumer_API: is_connected variable and its get_is_connected request/reply (operations receive_is_connected, send_request_get_is_connected, receive_reply_get_is_connected, schema ConnectedStatus), superseded by connection_status	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Subscribe to receive_connection_status (or request it via send_request_get_connection_status) and read its connected property; the message also carries the details of the connection the status refers to.
ocpp_consumer_API and ocpp interface: OCPP 1.6 key-only variable addressing (empty component.name, variable.name = configuration key) in get_variables, set_variables and monitor_variables, superseded by canonical component/variable addressing	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Migration from OCPP 1.6 key addressing. OCPPmulti logs a warning naming the canonical address on the first use of each legacy key.
EvseManager configuration option lock_connector_in_state_b: false	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Remove the option and set unlock_when_deauthorized: true instead. The connector then stays unlocked in CP state B until the session is authorized, which covers the original use case (no lock on plug-in before authorization). Unlike the deprecated option it keeps the connector locked while an authorized session is paused in state B and does not lock in state C/D without authorization or closed relays. Both options violate IEC 61851-1:2019 D.6.5 Table D.9 line 4 and must not be used in public environments; the module logs a warning at startup for either.
API module (everest_api/<connector>/cmd/* and everest_api/<connector>/var/* topics), superseded by the EVerest API modules	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Replace the module with the EVerest API modules covering the topics in use: evse_manager_consumer_API for charging control (enable_disable, pause_charging, resume_charging, stop_charging, force_unlock, uk_random_delay) and EVSE state (session_info, ev_info, hardware_capabilities, powermeter, limits, selected_protocol), external_energy_limits_consumer_API for set_limit_amps, set_limit_amps_phases and set_limit_watts, ocpp_consumer_API for ocpp/var/connection_status and ocpp/var/charging_schedules, and error_history_consumer_API for errors/var/active_errors. info/var/info (charger information) has no replacement. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup.
EvAPI module (everest_api/ev_connectors and everest_api/<connector>/var/* topics)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	No replacement. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup.
error_history_consumer_API: severity property of ErrorObject (all messages carrying errors: get_errors, active_errors, error_raised, error_cleared), the severity_filter argument of get_errors, and the Severity and SeverityFilter schemas	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	No replacement: EVerest defines no clear semantics for error severity. Stop reading severity from error objects and do not treat it as required; drop severity_filter from get_errors requests and filter by type_filter, origin_filter or state_filter instead.
settings.run_as_user in the EVerest config file	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Start the manager as the unprivileged user from the service manager instead, e.g. User=everest in the systemd unit, and grant privileged modules file capabilities (see Security Best Practices). The manager logs a warning at startup when the setting is used.
capabilities key of a module entry in the EVerest config file (active_modules.<id>.capabilities)	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Remove the key. Modules declare their capabilities in their manifest.yaml, and the deployment grants them as file capabilities: the everest_file_capabilities class in meta-everest, or applications/utils/scripts/set_module_capabilities.py elsewhere (see Security Best Practices). The key is already ignored, and the manager logs a warning at startup.
EvseV2G module (DIN SPEC 70121 and ISO 15118-2 on the C implementation), superseded by Evse15118D20, which runs DIN SPEC 70121, ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20 on the C++ ISO 15118 stack	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Migrate from EvseV2G and IsoMux to Evse15118D20. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup. SAE J2847/2 bidirectional power transfer is only available in EvseV2G until the C++ stack provides it.
IsoMux module (multiplexer between EvseV2G and Evse15118D20), superseded by Evse15118D20 alone	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Migrate from EvseV2G and IsoMux to Evse15118D20. The module logs a deprecation warning at startup.
Evse15118D20 configuration option logging_path	2026.10.0	2027.04.0	Remove the option. The built-in session logger is removed and the option has no effect; capture sessions with PacketSniffer, tcpdump or Wireshark instead.
