Restart a charger

Sends an OCPP Reset to one of your own OCPP-connected chargers (including Joulo Proxy connections) • a remote reboot for when the charge point hangs.

type "Soft" (default) lets the charger end an active session gracefully before restarting; "Hard" reboots immediately. Delivery is live-only: if the charger is offline this returns 409 and nothing is queued. Reboots are rate-limited per charger (a burst of 2, then one per 5 minutes).

A charger that honours the reset often reboots without ever answering, so no reply is not the same as no reboot. Joulo then confirms the restart out-of-band via the charger's BootNotification and still returns 200, with confirmed_by_boot: true. If neither an answer nor a restart arrives within the confirmation window you get 202: the command went out over a live socket but could not be verified.
