What's Changed

New Features

  • Embedded MQTT Broker: Thanks to @mlesniew and the PicoMQTT library, OpenMQTTGateway now supports an integrated MQTT broker. This feature reduces server dependencies and enables more localized use cases.
  • Tracker Synchronization: @DigiH introduced a powerful enhancement for tracker synchronization across multiple gateways. Now, "away" messages are only triggered if no gateways detect the tracker, ensuring more accurate notifications.
  • Serial Communication Mode: OpenMQTTGateway can now operate without MQTT! Modules can communicate over a Serial connection, making it easier to link multiple microcontrollers.

Theengs Plug and Theengs Bridge

  • The WebUI is now available for Theengs Bridge
  • Theengs Plug has now the capability to detect voltage changes and publish when the voltage changed more than 2V. This is useful when having time sensitive scenario that requires a trigger when there is a voltage change.

New BLE Devices

  • SwitchBot Blind Tilt and Curtains control, in addition to the previously supported SwitchBot Bot.
  • Bosch Nyon eBike tracker
  • ShellyBLU H&T SBHT-003C
  • Onset Hobo Water Level Sensor
  • Add support for ShellyBLU Wall Switch4 and RC Button4 devices
  • Teltonika FMT100 vehicle tracker
  • Feasycom beacon model BP102
  • New Feasycom beacon BP103B
  • Tilt Brewing Hydro- Thermometer
  • Amphiro/Oras/Hansa Faucet decoder
  • Otodata RC1010 propane tank transponder
  • Gigaset G-Tag added as device tracker
  • Govee H5105 Thermo Hygrometer
  • XOSS X2 heart rate sensor chest strap
  • NodOn NIU smart button decoder
  • MUE4094RT improvements
  • Jaalee F51C model
  • Mobvoi TicWatch GTH (Pro) added as tracker
  • ClearGrass/Qingping Barometer Pro CGP23W
  • Apple Watch decoder
  • Aranet4 CO₂ Monitor

Boards

  • Added compatibility for M5 Stamp S3 and S3.

Farewell to Arduino Boards and IDE

  • To streamline development and focus on widely used boards, OpenMQTTGateway is discontinuing support for Arduino boards and the Arduino IDE. While we remain committed to the Arduino framework, shifting resources to ESP boards and the web flasher ensures better support for the majority of users.

Over the Air server change

  • Unfortunately Github changed its root certificate without notice breaking the existing Over the Air mechanism, the OTA server is now hosted outside of Github to have more control over certificates update.
  • To update your boards you can either:
    • Flash from the Web upload
    • Download the binary below and Update with WiFiManager (you need to erase the flash first by a long button press or with the Home Assistant devices command)
    • Update with PlatformIO with an USB cable or OTA locally
