Settings up power (current, amps)

Would be great to be able to overwrite car's input power setting for scheduled charges.

Problem with Tesla is when different power is used from time to time.
Car allows to switch between 5 to 16 A while 3-fase charging.
However, when scheduled, it shows per default 16 A, schedule kicks in at specified time, and when the actual electricity becomes available to the car, is switches input power to the last value used at that location.
So the problem is that car uses a setting at the moment of charging instead of giving a heads-up what will happen when power becomes available.
However, it would be nice to have it configurable in Monta even just for scheduling purposes.
Lower power = lower battery wear.
So charger might (optionally) overwrite car's setting.

It would be really useful to have this feature where you can manually set the charging power through an API, especially through the home assistant plug in, as I often have excess solar power available

The standard CT clamp option isn't practical for the distance between my charger and the main electricity feed to the property is 50 meters away, so its impractical to run a second cable just to carry the CT clamp signals

Home assistant has a ZigBee based CT clamp on the main feed to the property and with the ability to be able to set the charging power through the API, excess spare power could be used to charge the car, instead of being lost to the grid.

Very useful feature. Especially for home users (but not only). If you know you can leave the car for a longer period of time, why charge faster (11/22kw) when you can protect the battery and charge at lower speeds (2-4kw)?

I would like to be able to set the charging power. e.g. choosing to charge at say 3kw (instead of the usual 7kw). This will be useful as my solar panels cannot produce 7kw!
