What's Changed

Significant features in this release include a webUI to control your gateway and directly see the sensor's data, access logs, and change the basic configuration without a controller!

Go to your gateway IP and type admin/OTAPASSWORD. The password can be changed from the Wifi Manager portal.
Thanks, @NorthernMan54, for this add and to Tasmota as they inspired this feature and the code.
Note that the WebUI is unavailable with the Theengs plug in this version.

Also, now we can detect the appliance cycle start and end by leveraging the accelerometers of BLE beacons. The beacon needs to be configured to stop advertising when there is no movement, and the gateway will automatically publish a message to the broker to say that the beacon is offline. This is great for washing machines, dryers, or dishwashers' end-of-cycle announcements and notifications.

Finally, OpenHAB users can now use any build with autodiscovery. The specificities of OpenHAB HA convention processing can be set at runtime with an MQTT command

Theengs Plug

• The Theengs Plug will now detect changes of current superior to 0.1A and publishes a message to the broker to speed up the detection when a connected device is powered ON. This is useful to trigger actions when the plugged device starts.
• We also added a task watchdog to restart the plug if the energy monitoring and overcurrent detection task is stuck
• A FailSafe Mode also enables loading the wifi manager portal with a minimal setup.
