Charger Current Setting does not accept new values

[HeikoTietze]

For an automation I want to set the charging power to 6A. But that's not accepted, neither it is when changing the value per up/down controls. Charging always keeps the previously 32A.

hmm interesting, ill have a look into it. it was a new feature within 7.0 i added,

i don't directly have a a car charger, and i don't want to be messing with the API keys of the person i currently am using to test without their permission.

@HeikoTietze are you able to send me a msg on telegram (@poshy9645) with you API keys/secret and ill see if i can look into why its not pushing

Apologies @HeikoTietze @poshy6945

The patch changes the ASS's "Household current setup" parameter rather than "Charging Current Setting" when the value of HA's "EV Charger Current Setting" is modified.

ill re-open this, but as i said via telegram, see if you can get alphaess sinto providing an option for it via the openAPI

Can confirm that: changing "EV Charger Current Setting" in HA only affects the "Household" parameter (accepts only a range between 25-1000 A in my case) in the AlphaESS App.

What I expect: Changing the Current per Phase when charging in "Customer Mode"
