Release v0.45 - Extends Home Assistant MQTT Discovery to add door control switches!

[Resinchem]

In addition to the sensors that were made available via Home Assistant MQTT Discovery, this release adds a switch to control each of the three available Tailwind doors. So, with this release, it is no longer necessary to manually create any entities in Home Assistant to either get the status or control the doors for your Tailwind device!

Of course, you are still free to disable MQTT Discovery and manually create your own entities via YAML. Or you can do both (with some restrictions not to duplicate entity_ids). You can see the Wiki for more details on creating your own MQTT sensors and scripts.

Now, when enabled, Home Assistant MQTT Discovery will create the following entities automatically for you:

Sensors:

Entity_id	State values
binary_sensor.tailwind_door1	on (open) or off (closed)
binary_sensor.tailwind_door2	on (open) or off (closed)
binary_sensor.tailwind_door3	on (open) or off (closed)
sensor.tailwind_mqtt_status	connected once connected to broker
sensor.tailwind_last_result	OK, FAILED or INVALID (see wiki)
sensor.tailwind_status_code	0-7 (see wiki)

Switches and Control States:

Entity_id	Control and State
switch.tailwind_door1	Switch on (open), switch off (close)
switch.tailwind_door2	Switch on (open), switch off (close)
switch.tailwind_door3	Switch on (open), switch off (close)

Unfortunately, this new addition does create another breaking change as related to the Settings.h file. You will either need to download the new Settings.h file and reapply your local settings, or add a couple of new lines to your existing Settings.h file. See the v0.45 Release Notes for more info.

This release will likely be the final alpha release, other than bug fixes, until Tailwind releases the next firmware with additional security. There is still a lot I'd like to see done with this bridge, but the Tailwind security methodology selected will have an increasing impact on new features from this point forward. So, until that occurs, I plan on holding off on major new enhancements until the security process is known.
