Updated README.md to contain Wallbox Service (#157)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I kept it simple and only added the Wallbox service with similar
warnings as you did with the other services.

As this integration has reached a significant featureset, at some time
some more in-depth documentation regarding system behaviour may be
appropiate.

### Set maximum wallbox charging current

The Service `set_wallbox_charging_current` will set the maximum charging current of the given Wallbox in Amps. 16A is typical for a 11kW Wallbox, 32A is typical for a 22kW Wallbox.

**Read the following before using this functionality on your own risk:**

- If values cannot be set, this may be due to the hard limits for your fuses configured during the installation of the Wallbox. Only a E3DC service technican can and should change these limits.
- In case your fuse settings are wrong (too low) and you set the charging current too high, you may blow your fuse or even damage your Wallbox.
- Check your local laws and regulations whether setting the Wallbox to a higher charging current requires approvals from your grid operator.
