OpenEVSE new user interface, testers & translations needed

The New interface looks great. Just an idea for a modification.

My usage case is sometime the car is parked at home for a few days and it would be nice if they was a way to only charge from solar and not over night. but leave the timer in place for the nights when I need a full charge for the morning. I have tried enable change in eco mode but that just goes straight to 32A.

I guess best way would be to have a way to disable the scheduler ain’t it?

This would be a good feature for me too, and I suspect many others :slight_smile:

I was running the latest dev build for a while, and when eco mode is selected the timers are ignored. I liked that change.

Had to revert as the shaper wasn’t working for me unfortunately.

What problem did you get with the shaper?
Can you post your config?

Basically the shaper was ignored, Ive toggled it on and off, Changed the value, there is no difference.
Almost as if it doesnt ā€œseeā€ what the openevse is using. I use it to limit the charge so i dont go past what the house batteries will output. It charged the car at the full speed.

My EVSE, is running 7.1.3.T2 and a huzzah esp32.

I have my dad’s still running the same dev build. haven’t reverted his yet, (openevse wifi v1)
Ran a test and its made a liar out of me. worked as expected. Gonna have a poke at mine now.

Ok, There is something weird going on,

Works perfectly on dads, openevse wifi v1 build.

On my huzzah one, it doesnt. (For reference when on batteries i feed it a falsely high value, I am not currently pulling18kw!, just offset by about 10kw)

I let it run for a few minutes, and there was no throttling even though it was above the load limit, changing it down. Any clues?

Edit: Reverterd back to the prerelease build (may 10) and works as expected.

I think that’s the best way, maybe another button on the main screen for eco only
