Application 5.4.1
Charger Operations
Discovery Phase: Prolonged the discovery phase at the start of a session from 20 to 40 seconds, ensuring it did not stop at 10 A.
Current Measurement: Prevented re-measuring the maximum EV current when charging was paused.
Load Guard Connection: Received updates on Load Guard connection status from Power Management, which were logged and reported as events.
OCPP Reboot Reason: Unified internal enumerations for charging stop reasons to correctly report OCPP reboot reasons.
OCPP BootNotification: Prevented the charger from responding to OCPP messages if the BootNotification was rejected.
Authorization: Checked the identification expiration time during authorization.
Log Management: Forced logs to flush to disk on power loss to avoid missing entries.
PlugAndCharge: Fixed cases where the PlugAndCharge tag ID was sent incorrectly.
Power Management Reconnection: Fixed reconnection failures to Power Management in some cases.
Payter Integration
Fixed rounding issues for values sent to Payter.

Power Management
Siemens 7KM2200 Support: Added support for Siemens 7KM2200 as a Load Guard.
Compatibility Fixes: Protocol issues from version 5.4 were resolved in version 5.4.1; however, this fix has caused version 5.4.1 to be incompatible with version 5.4
Resume Mechanism: Reworked the charger resume mechanism to address issues with Power Management reconnecting multiple chargers simultaneously.
GUI
