owlcms-firmata 2.5.1

In this release

• 2.5.1: Connections when username/password were configured on owlcms no longer worked in 2.5.0

  • A wrong password will now interrupt the initial autoconnect correctly and give an opportunity to fix the password
  • Fixes were applied to both the MQTT protocol (port 1883) and websocket connections as the Paho library reports errors in different ways.

• 2.5.0: If the port specified ends with 443, the connection will be done using wss: to the /mqtt entry point. This is to support the use of MQTT devices on a cloud server. If the port starts with 8 the connection will be using ws:. Other ports, like the usual 1883 will use mqtt

Since 2.3.0

• 2.4.0: Removed unneeded connections established at start-up. This version should be used for clarity when using owlcms version 61 Connected MQTT devices status reporting.
• 2.3.3: Show the full path to the device definition files.
• 2.3.2: Fix subscription issues when Disconnecting and reconnecting to a server with different platform names
• 2.3.1: Reset the platform list when doing a Disconnect/Connect
• 2.3.0: Automatic connections
  • on startup, automatic connection attempted to the last working configuration
  • if that does not work, scan of the local area network to locate an MQTT server
  • manual choice remains possible
  • once a platform is selected, automatic connection to the detected devices
