Contributions summary:Craig primarily contributed to the firmware development for an Open EVSE project, focusing on features related to temperature monitoring and energy usage recording. They implemented temperature sensor integrations using various sensors like the MCP9808, DS3231, and TMP007, along with related thresholds and logic for controlling charging behavior based on temperature. Furthermore, they added and refined code for accumulating and displaying energy usage (kWh) information, including non-volatile storage of the accumulated values. Testing and bug fixes were also performed.
