Mennekes lock

[glynhudson]

The updated Mennekes lock in controller FW V8.1.0 lincomatic/open_evse#141 has both an automatic and a manual mode. In manual mode, the lock can be controlled via RAPI.

A useful basic function for this manual mode would be to provide a toggle on the web interface to set the lock mode:

1. Automatic
2. Permanently Locked
3. Permanently Unlocked

Manual mode is non-volatile, therefore must be enabled on boot. It would be a good idea to show the lock status on the /status info page.

S5 A|M|0|1 - Mennekes lock setting
   A = enable automatic mode - locked when connected, unlocked otherwise
   M = enable manual control mode
   0 = unlock (valid only in manual mode)
   1 = lock (valid only in manual mode)
   n.b. requires MENNEKES_LOCK. manual mode is volatile - always boots in automatic mode

G5 - get Mennekes settings
 response: $OK state mode
   state: 0 = unlocked
          1 = locked
   mode: A = automatic mode - locked when connected, unlocked otherwise
         M = manual control mode
   Note: lock mode is also indicated by ECVF_MENNEKES_MANUAL
   n.b. requires MENNEKES_LOCK

The lock will also need to be implemented via OCPP and HTTP/MQTT API.

I'm planning to add the Menneke lock actuator to my EVSE for testing and finilising this feature.
@jeremypoulter I haven't checked yet, does the openevse_lib already implemented it?

[jeremypoulter]

I don't think so

The firmware supports Mennekes lock on a couple of the ISP pins. A forward reverse motor driver and 12v source is required. https://github.com/OpenEVSE/OpenEVSE_PLUS/blob/master/OpenEVSE_PLUS_v5/Standard_3Phase.pdf

Yep thanks, I got this part. Was wondering if the OpenEvse lib already had the rapi cmd implemented. Will look into to this.
