Timers over rides Eco mode #812

With anything set in a timer, Eco mode doesn't work.

I'd like to have both working together.

An active timer was the root cause of this issue: https://github.com/OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware/issues/691

+1 to this, i'm experiencing the same issue

I also opened a ticket on the OpenEVSE support forum. I think the problem is now better understood and a long term solution was proposed.

Until that is implemented (if ever), deleting all the timers allowed eco mode to function normally. It's not ideal because now I have to rely on timers in the car, which are annoying to disable when I really need to charge now and skip the timers.

Ah good work around, I always forget that the cars can do the scheduling. I rely so heavily on the flexibility of the EVSE to do the scheduling.

I'll use that for now, but I'm really curious to see what they say.

(I can't see the ticket, but I trust it's there) :)

Adding additional options to timer would help here. Instead of Enable/Disable, Enable/Disable/ECO would allow more use cases. Enable/Disable/Eco/Current 40A, 39A, 38A...etc. would make timers even better.
