[Ovmsdev] New Joiner: Jaunius

[Jaunius Kapkan]

Agreed!

Btw, managed to make my first build & flash yesterday (added some missing climate control metrics under xnl). As it is less complicated than I tought I plan to continue and add everythig that has been discovered so far in regards to climate control for the Leaf. You can track progress here: https://github.com/openvehicles/Open-Vehicle-Monitoring-System-3/issues/281

Regards,
Jaunius
