WiFiThermostat - Changelog

0.2.2

• Home Assistant direct support (setTemp and setMode topics, real name used in setMode, mode names are configurable)
• added MQTT connection message on LWT topic
• default MQTT_HEARTBEAT_MAXAGE 180000 (former 12000)
• updated PubSubClient to 2.7 (now included in src due to changed parameters)
• minor improvements at MQTT connecting
• added additional publish topic for PIR sensor (configurable)
• bugfixes

0.2.1

• added second reduction mode with different set temperature
• MQTT reconnect now tries again every 5 min after 10 fails, finally restarts MCU on 20 unsuccessful retries

0.2.0

• improved MQTT reconnection management with heartbeat and force-reconnect
• improved MQTT callback function
• improved overall stability
• added correction value for set point temperature
• added some defines for default values
• added http control api with token
• added mqttReconnect http call
• bugfixes
• some documentation

Important: for now compiled using Arduino 1.8.5 with ESP8266-Arduino core 2.4.0-rc2, as WiFi (re)connection does not work properly in release 2.4.0 (spent many hours on that)!!

0.1.3

• button handling now uses library r89m/PushButton.h
• added support for external PIR motion sensor, can be configured to enable display backlight on movement, pushes status to Domoticz and MQTT
• lots of code improvements
• removed unused libraries, added library overview in README.md, included only used libraries
• added some initial description text in README.md
• added heating switch device - send to domoticz/in
• improved MQTT reconnect behavior. Retry every 15s if 1-3 connnects failed and just every 5 min if more to avoid blocking.
