      If you have the Emporium monitor as well as the EV charger (and optionally solar) it would be great if we could do a few things:

       

      1. Limit the current being supplied to the vehicle.  Is this at all technically possible?  Essentially if I have the EV charger hooked up to a 40A circuit I would like to vary the current based on demand.

      2. Allow me to set a whole home limit on power. Essentially let me set a limit based on my electric utility rates.  I currently get very low rates if I stay under 800W.  So at night when I use very little energy charge my car but ensure the charger limits current to keep my home under the 800W limit.  The limit should be programmable via the UI

       

      3. if I have solar, allow me to charge my car with only the excess and limit the current to keep me in range of how much solar I am generating at any time.
