Technically, you could probably run multiple instances of TWCManager with multiple RS458 adapters connected to the same device. However, I don't know that there's been much testing of parallel instances.

So what you're really looking for is something kind of like #384, where rather than tracking available green energy, you want to cap the grid draw. That actually doesn't require...

Also, it's fine to daisy-chain even when they're not constrained -- you just configure TWCManager that the maximum for each individual TWC is (for example) 48A (on a 60A circuit)...

Discussion on #240 has been moving that direction, but I don't think anyone has been willing to bite off such a large change so far.

I effectively do that on mine -- you can use the restrictions node to add additional constraints to when Scheduled Charging runs, but the thing you set has to be...

(2) seems easier to me, actually. The HTTP API already exposes what the local TWCs are consuming; we just need to factor these "remote" TWCs into the count of cars...

> When there are multiple TWCs in play, what makes the decision as to the rate each should charge at, does the master allocate a rate for each slave or...

@leeliu, you're correct that with two separate instances of TWCManager, each TWC would see the other as part of the load and back off accordingly. Effectively, the first to be...

I'd think if you were going to do the coding work to build something either way, it would make more sense to extend TWCManager to support a primary-secondary pattern between...

Reads only. I suggest it because TWCManager already has this logic for local TWCs and local policy -- it's just a matter of fetching it from a remote endpoint instead.
