Changes in 0.8.3

• Added Support for Extended Advertising features (Intel NUC and other BLE5 adapters)
• new restore_state option to restore the state of sensors directly after a restart
• Added support for MCCGQ02HL device [1] [2]
• Processing of events from binary sensors in real-time [1]
• sensor entities are now created directly when any device activity is detected (almost instantaneous status change from unavailable to unknown when the device is working and is in the reception area)

Notes:

[1] Sensors like the MCCQ02HL and WX08ZM are currently discovered as sensor with on/off state. We are looking into the possibility to convert these to binary_sensors, which they actually are, with the correct state (e.g. open/closed for opening binary sensors). This will take some time, as we have to rewrite a large part of the code. In the meantime, you can use a template binary sensor if you want to let it act as binary sensor.

[2] MCCGQ02HL sensors send messages only at the moment of an event occurrence, it does not notify about its state periodically. Battery level is only send once in approximately 24 hours.
