Control 2 Easee chargers? #322

Is it possible to add a second chargers? I have added another Easee charger to my installation and want Peaqev to control both😃

@rabakaas if i would add support for multiple chargers (or ports in certain cases, like chargeamps aura), do you see that there should be a prioritization between the two?

should one be considered primary and the other one secondary?
should the one where there has been less charge added (if both are connected) be prioritized? etc.

I'd like your thoughts on these and possibly other parameters since adding a secondary can be everything from just allowing multiple installations (with their own threshold then) to actually store and prioritize based on x factors.

Prioritization between the two is not a problem for me, but maybe for other users. If i need to charge one car rapidly I will simply plug in just that car. My Easee chargers are on the same circuit with one charger as master, maybe a possible solution can be replacing dynamic_charger_limt with dynamic_circuit_limit on the master charger? And max_charger_limit with max_circuit_limit, current with circuit_current. Then only the master charger need to be controlled by Peaqev.
