Significant update to solar PV divert functionality
Issue OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware#54 PR OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware#76
- Eco Mode is now pervasive between charging sessions
- PV divert ("Eco Mode") will now pause charging once solar PV / Grid IE drops below the minimum current (6A) and will resume when more power is available.
- Charge current calculation is now processed via a smoothing algorithm to avoid any stopping/starting charging unnecessarily
- Improved user display to communicate charging state e.g "Charging from Solar", "Waiting for Solar" etc
- Timer charge functions as an overnight boost timer'. If EcoMode is left enabled and a timer is set e.g overnight off peak period, the EV will charge at full current for the duration of the timed charge.
- Enable 'advanced' mode to adjust smoothing and minimum charge time settings:
