What's new in v9.4.0
This release adds Predbat-led EV charger control for GivEnergy, Ohme and Zappi chargers, with an Octopus Intelligent rule and guest charging. The GivEnergy Hub display can now run alongside another inverter provider. Most of the fixes are to inverter control. Charge enable is turned off between windows, and Freeze Export is no longer offered on GivEnergy 3-phase. The gateway no longer enables discharge or export after a failed window write. The Octopus dispatch rate is held on an elapsed half hour until Octopus confirms it.
