emsesp/EMS-ESP32 latest

Development Build v3.9.0-dev.12

on GitHub

[3.9.0]

This release is based on the latest Espressif/Arduino core version 3. It brings in many memory and performance optimizations. Note it does require the user to manually migrate settings from 3.8.x to 3.9.0.

Added

• user-requested LED blink #3063
• Commands Service that can be called via MQTT or API or used in the Scheduler Service
• option to disable factory reset #3150
• TLS support with 4MB boards without PSRAM
• added eth_10mbit to Network Settings, which forces 10BASE-T half-duplex & autonegotiation off, halving the PHY’s power draw. It’s off by default as it will cause issues on managed switches with a port forced to 100Mb #3213
• cleaner MD5 and firmware uploading in WebUI #3222
• pc0Flow in l/min #3224
• remove HA config for excluded entities #3229
• show system reports the Ethernet status on boards with a PHY, so a failed initialisation or a link that never came up is visible instead of Ethernet being omitted completely. Also shows the loop task's lowest free stack, to help diagnose reboots
• new Application Setting "Automatically check for firmware updates", off by default. When enabled EMS-ESP asks emsesp.org for the latest version once a day on its own, otherwise it only asks when the WebUI wants to show it, so an unattended system never contacts emsesp.org

Fixed

• shunting yard show json
• system/sendmail called from a Command or the Scheduler computed its value twice, which stripped the quotes from literal text and then failed on characters like !. Also shunting yard treated a ? inside a quoted string as a ternary, so text like "too hot?" returned nothing
• memory leak when using different timezones for ems-esp and thermostat#3184
• LED stayed off on a healthy system when "Disable LED" was unchecked
• Ethernet MAC address changed with the new SDK, breaking DHCP reservations (currently disabled)
• "IPv4 nameserver" showed an IPv6 address when IPv6 was in use
• the Network status page showed at most one IPv6 address and could hide the IPv4 DNS server entirely. It only read the link-local address, so a dual-stack host's ULA and global addresses were never reported, and it only read two of the three DNS slots, which are shared between IPv4 and IPv6. It now lists every address the interface holds, each labelled with its IPv6 scope, and every configured DNS server #3246
• the Gateway was only ever reported for IPv4, so on a dual-stack network the IPv6 default router was missing from the Network status page, show system and the MQTT info topic. Routers are learnt from router advertisements rather than configured, so all of them are now listed #3246
• show system had the same gaps, reporting a link-local IPv6 address only and a single IPv4 DNS server. The WiFi and Ethernet sections now list every IPv6 address with its scope, and every DNS server labelled with its own family #3246
• the Access Point status page reported whichever interface happened to be active, so with the AP down it showed the station's IP and MAC address under an "Inactive" heading. It now always reports the soft-AP's own details, and shows none when the AP isn't running
• the MQTT info topic published no addresses at all when connected over Ethernet, and over WiFi only an IPv4 address plus a link-local IPv6 one. Both interfaces now report their MAC, IPv4 address and gateway, every IPv6 address and every DNS server. Note that IPv6 address is now an array, and IPv4 DNS Server is replaced by a DNS Server array that covers both families #3246
• HA Discovery warning on Uptime after EMS-ESP boot due to NTP not ready
• hc/control setting for UI800 thermostats #3181
• solar module switches #3223
• possible crash when the WebUI asked for version information while the versions.json refresh was rewriting the cache from the main loop task
• HTTP client could write past a fixed 64 byte buffer when a URL had a hostname of 64 characters or more, could busy-spin for the whole read budget if the socket reported bytes it wouldn't return, and buffered responses without any size limit
• the "Ethernet clock mode (GPIO16/17) conflicts with PSRAM" error was never logged because Ethernet had already been skipped by the time the check ran
• heat limit entities (maxheatcomp, maxheatheat, dhw.maxheat) read as unknown on heat pumps with an auxiliary heater larger than 9 kW - enum_maxHeat was missing the 12 kW and 15 kW steps

Changed

• various memory optimizations #3083
• Scheduler name is now mandatory
• network fallback to AP only after start #3090
• replaced Web async-validator with custom validator and toast with native snackbar to reduce bundle size
• Gateway and Connect devices are shown in the Devices page, but disabled 3126
• show control setting only for master thermostats (0x10) #3173
• remove devices without entities not listed in 0x07 telegram
• changes to the Dialogs in Dashboard page, removed the run icon in the Commands page. Renamed Execute to Run.
• set None for undefined values in HA val_tpl
• changes in WebUI - remove multiple calls systemInfo endpoint, Vewrsion pages checks for internet connection #3195
• multiple optimization in network, power down WiFi when Ethernet and WiFi nosleep is instant when selected #3213
• TLS buffers (~17KB per HTTPS request) are taken from PSRAM on boards that have it, instead of fragmenting the internal heap
• failed versions.json fetches back off from 5 up to 160 minutes instead of retrying every 5 minutes, as each attempt blocks the main loop for as long as the DNS, connect and read timeouts allow

• 7a338f465 add gateway ipv6 (#3246) (proddy)
• 307ae9247 fixes #3246 (proddy)
• 323fdc8e4 package update (proddy)
