TWCManager v1.1.7

• Dropped the default policy check timer down to 30 seconds from 60 seconds after positive feedback on lower calculation intervals
• Dropped cache time in all EMS modules down to 10 seconds to ensure that the lower calculation intervals work correctly
• Added ability to override the policy check timer to set it to any value desired
• Added ability to override the policy entirely from the configuration file (with caveat that this is not recommended)
• Added ability to extend the policy at two points (before and after) to add extra rules in whilst retaining the rest of the policy
• MQTT control command chargeNow will now accept a payload specifying the number of amps and duration to charge
• Added support for remote debugging using the Python Visual Studio remote debugger (ptvsd) (thanks @MikeBishop)
• Significant improvements to Powerwall2 EMS module including authentication fixes, addition of Operating State to module state tracking, fixing a HTTPS certificate validation issue and stability testing (thanks @MikeBishop)
• Early framework for centralised module instantiation
• Allow use of module parameters within policy rules (thanks @MikeBishop)
• Added setup.py setuptools script, which will shortly become the recommended installation method
• Bugfixes
  • Fixed an issue where the policy based charging rules could not access settings variables due to an error in string offset (thanks @AndySchroder).
  • Fixed a bug with debug output if the charger is configured to draw more amps than the wiring can handle (thanks @AndySchroder).
  • Fixed an issue with the debug web interface (WebIPC) which impacted sending custom commands to the TWC and recieving the result
  • Fixed the refresh image for the IPC web interface (thanks @notreallybob).
  • Fixed a situation where amp calculations can lead to a value of -1 due to previously used default values. Any amp related defaults are now 0, with exception handling for negative values.
  • Fixed an error in policy rule where green energy charging was offset by 1 hour (thanks @MikeBishop)
  • Fixed Powerwall2 authentication process (using cookies rather than Authorization header) (thanks @MikeBishop)
