EVCS setpoint option

Hi, I am using EV CS NS with v1.28 firmware in an off grid installation.

It works great in auto mode! However, if it were possible to adjust the setpoint being used to determine the charging current, it would make it even better. With PV surplus (some AC coupled and some DC coupled) I prefer to charge the car as a first priority, even at the cost of discharging the main battery by 100-500w rather then charging the main battery by that amount, since it will be charged once the PV generation is above the EVCS limit, or when I am not at home and no EV is being charged.

Just a thought and a wish.

Thanx again for all the good work.
