EV Charging Station v1.27 – Overload protection and Date & Time configuration

Firmware Update v1.27 for EVCS and EVCS NS We're excited to announce the release of firmware v1.27 for the EVCS and EVCS NS, packed with numerous new features, improvements, and bug fixes to enhance your charging experience. New Features:

• Overload Protection: The charger now detects an 'Overload' state from the inverter and responds by reducing the current to a minimum or stopping charging altogether. The overload warning remains visible until the car is reconnected.
• Date & Time Configurations: Enjoy added convenience with configurable date and time settings, including automatic daylight saving time processing. This feature is now part of the initial setup procedure via the web interface.

Improvements:

• Scheduler Scene Intersection Checking: Scene intersection checking is now only performed when the scene is activated, allowing users to configure scenes before deciding which ones to activate or deactivate.
• Warning for Scheduled Mode: Receive a warning if the local date/time is not synchronized in scheduled mode.
• Data Synchronization: If GX data is outdated, the EVCS will not change the charging current in auto mode until new data is received or a loss of connection with the GX device is detected.
• Charging Start with Backup Battery: Added functionality to start charging when there is no PV power and the backup battery has maximum state of charge (SoC).
• Start SoC Parameter: The 'Start SoC' parameter no longer affects charging stoppage in Auto mode.
• Charging Stop Behavior: During charging stoppage, the current value is reduced to the minimum.

Performance and Stability Improvements:

• Firmware update performance and stability have been enhanced.
• System performance and stability have been improved.

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved the issue of incorrect data being sent to the VictronConnect App.
• Fixed incorrect behavior of the Modbus-TCP Server in case of multiple client connections.
