Returns `device_id` and `device_secret` which are then used to obtain temporary access tokens via `/v1/device/token`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /device/register openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Tellus Open Platform API version: 1.3.0 summary: Charger-platform integration API for CPMS, EMS, aggregators, and chargers. description: > The Tellus Open Platform API enables Charging Point Management Systems (CPMS), Energy Management Systems (EMS), aggregators and chargers themselves to integrate with the Tellus charging-platform infrastructure. The API is divided into three logical surfaces: - **Operator-side API** (`/v1/operator/...`) — used by CPMS, EMS, and aggregators to query the fleet, retrieve charging records, control chargers, schedule charging, issue load-flexibility commands, and subscribe to a real-time telemetry WebSocket. - **Charger-side API** (`/v1/device/...`) — used by chargers themselves for registration, heartbeat, telemetry, event reporting, charging-record upload, command fetching (long-polling), command-status reporting, and firmware-upgrade status. - **Operator-to-operator interop (legacy)** — an older roaming-style interface (PascalCase, PUT-based) used for data exchange between operator platforms, modelled after China's national charging-interop standard. Most modern partners should integrate via the Operator-side API instead. All requests use HTTPS (TLS 1.2 or higher). Plain HTTP is not supported. All bodies are `application/json`. Timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC. Energy is in kWh, power in kW, current in A, voltage in V, temperature in °C, and SOC is an integer percentage 0–100. Optional request signing using HMAC-SHA256 is supported for high-security operations (see §2.2.4 of the v1.3 specification). contact: name: Tellus Power — Platform Team url: https://www.telluspowergroup.com license: name: Proprietary — Tellus Power Group servers: - url: https://api.telluspower.example.com/v1 description: > Production (HOSTNAME PENDING).
