on GitHub

Based on MeshCore v1.14 plus the below features and bug fixes:

Repeater:

• Included latest PowerSaving and PowerSaving CLI (powersaving, powersaving on and powersaving off): 5.8mA for NRF52, 10mA for Heltec v3 and 13mA for Heltec v4. meshcore-dev/MeshCore#1687
• [COMING SOON] Modbus RS485 support is coming soon...

Room server:

• Added latest PowerSaving and PowerSaving CLI (powersaving, powersaving on and powersaving off): 5.8mA for NRF52, 10mA for Heltec v3 and 13mA for Heltec v4.
• Added MCU temperature

Companion:

• [NRF52] Added PowerSaving. Reduced from 9mA down to 5.8mA.
• [ESP32] PowerSaving is coming soon...

Common:

• Included sensor CLI to list I2C and UART GPIOs: sensor
• Kept date after crash/watchdog/brownout reset on ESP32: meshcore-dev/MeshCore#1896
• Fixed hasPendingWork for TX queue: meshcore-dev/MeshCore#1877
• Automatically selected I2C address 0x76 and 0x77 for BME280/BME680/BMP280

Demo

• Enter powersaving mode (CLI > powersaving on), 5.8mA for RAK4631 / Xiao NRF52, 6mA for Xiao S6/C3/C6, 10mA for Heltec v3, 13mA for Heltec v4...

• Enter CLI "powersaving", "powersaving on" and "powersaving off" with detailed responses
• Enter CLI "sensor" to check I2C and GPS Serial pins
