- Introduced a new method `formatIsoTimestampForMqtt` to centralize ISO-like timestamp formatting for MQTT messages, applying timezone preferences.
- Updated `buildStatusMessage`, `buildPacketJSON`, `buildPacketJSONFromRaw`, and `buildRawJSON` methods to utilize the new timestamp formatting function, improving code clarity and reducing redundancy.
- Adjusted `publishStatusToSlot` and `publishStatus` in MQTTBridge to use the new timestamp formatting method, ensuring consistent timestamp handling across status messages.
Remove the hardcoded BLE_PIN_CODE build flag from the Heltec_E290_companion_ble
environment. The presence of BLE_PIN_CODE prevents the unit from operating as a
USB companion. Commenting it out allows dynamic PIN generation and enables USB
companion functionality.
- Added guidance for using a single active WSS broker preset in the T-LoRa V2.1–1.6 MQTT observer environments, clarifying that dual TLS sessions may fail due to memory constraints.
- Updated partition table descriptions to reflect the new recommendation for the `LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6_repeater_observer_mqtt` and `LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6_room_server_observer_mqtt` targets.
- Enhanced platformio.ini comments to emphasize the single broker usage and its implications for memory management.
- LilyGo T-LoRa V2.1 observer envs: set ESP32_CPU_FREQ=240 and
MQTT_TASK_STACK_SIZE=16384 only for those targets so classic ESP32
TLS + JWT connect fits the FreeRTOS task; other boards keep the
default 8192 B unless overridden.
- MQTTBridge: use large JSON stack fallbacks only for PSRAM builds when
heap-backed buffers may be null; non-PSRAM paths use the inline
member buffers only, cutting peak stack in status/packet/raw publish.
- MQTTBridge.h: update the StaticJsonDocument comment (no longer refers
to an 8 KiB MQTT task stack).
Updated the alert PSK implementation to remove base64 support, now requiring a 32-character hex format for private channel secrets. Adjusted related CLI commands, error messages, and internal handling to ensure consistency with the new format. This change enhances clarity and aligns with the mobile app's "Share Channel" output. Relevant updates made across multiple files, including documentation and preference handling.
Enhanced the CLI command for setting the alert PSK to support both base64 (24/44 chars) and hex (32/64 chars) formats. This change allows for greater flexibility in key input, accommodating the mobile app's "share" output. Updated error messages for clarity and ensured that previously derived hashtags are cleared when a new PSK is set. Relevant adjustments made in CommonCLI and MQTT implementation documentation.
Add a new command `region bulk` for defining region hierarchies in a single line. This command allows users to create multiple regions in a single message. Updated the documentation to include usage examples and detailed parameter descriptions.
Modified the sendFlood method in AlertReporter to incorporate path hash size, ensuring compatibility with the repeater's configured path.hash.mode. This change enhances the handling of alert floods by accommodating different regional mesh configurations.
Added support for `LilyGo_TBeam_1W_repeater_observer_mqtt` and `LilyGo_TBeam_1W_room_server_observer_mqtt` in the MQTT implementation documentation. Updated partition table references to `default_16MB.csv` for these observers, clarifying the requirements for flashing firmware and the implications for stored settings. Enhanced the platformio configuration for both observer types, including build flags and dependencies.
Updated the fault alert functionality to include an optional region name for scoping alert floods, allowing operators to override the default scope. Introduced a list of banned channels (e.g., Public PSK, `#test`, `#bot`) to prevent spamming community channels with alerts. The implementation ensures that alerts are only sent to private PSKs or non-banned hashtags. Relevant changes were made across multiple files, including updates to the CLI for setting and retrieving the new `alert.region` preference.
Implemented a new fault alert system that broadcasts notifications over LoRa when WiFi or MQTT connections are down for a specified duration. The alerts are configurable via CLI commands, allowing operators to set private PSKs or hashtags for alert channels. Default settings for alert thresholds and intervals are established, and the system ensures that alerts do not spam the public channel. Updated relevant files to integrate this feature into the MyMesh implementations and CLI handling.
Added ColoradoMesh as a new built-in preset in the MQTT bridge documentation. Updated relevant sections to reflect this addition, including command examples and notes on topic templates. This enhances the flexibility and options available for MQTT connections.
