## Services
The integration currently provides these services to initiate more complex
commands to the E3DC unit:
### Set power limits
Use the service `set_power_limits` to limit the maximum charging or discharging
rates of the battery system. Both values can be controlled individually, each
call replaces the settings made by the last. It will not allow you to change the
system defined minimum discharge rate at the moment, as I am not sure if this is
actually a sensible thing to do.

## Clear current power limits

`clear_power_limits` will drop any active power limit. It will not emit an error
if none has been set. Prefer this to use `set_power_limits` and setting the
values to the system defined maximum.

## Initate manual battery charging

The service `manual_charge` will start charging the specified amount of energy
into the battery, taking it from the grid if neccessary. The idea behind this is
to take advantage of dynamic electricity providers like Tibber. Charge your
battery when electricity is cheap even if you have no solar power available, for
example in windy winter nights/days.

Be aware, that calls to this operation seem to be limited, however, this is not
documented. As always, use at your own risk and discretion.

The extension is based on [Python E3DC
