0.4 - Features, fixes and a new look

First of all i just want to thank anyone that showed interest in this thing i made, as of now repository has 455 stars ⭐, a massive increase from the 200ish on the last release which feels absolutely insane for the little project i just made out of spite of Apple, so thank you, it means a lot ♥️.

I've also rewrote part of the wiki, please take a look and let me know what you think.

0.3 - Improvements, new stuff and a Discord server

I'll start this off by announcing that you can now find attached on these releases firmware binaries, you can find more information about them in the wiki.

• Implemented a simple web interface that includes all options previously in config.h and more
• This release includes the new PN532 SPI Driver that was reworked to use ESP-IDF SPI Master APIs and some other improvements, this should solve the "Didn't find PN53x board" that can appear at times
• Added option to trigger a GPIO Pin on HomeKey Success or Fail, should address #57
• Added option to trigger a GPIO Pin when interacting with the Lock from the Home App
• Improvements and optimizations
• Tested on ESP32-C3 and works about the same (firmware binaries attached below)

Additionally i have now launched a Discord server called "HomeKit Corner"(might rename it to "HomeKit Matters" or something to include Matter), this is where current and future projects will be discussed. This should help streamline communication and make it easier to answer questions and solve any issues, if you have any of that or just want to hangout you can join the server at the link below.

MQTT Custom States and Home Assistant Integration

• PicoMQTT library has been replaced by Espressif's MQTT IDF Component esp-mqtt
• HomeKey related functions have been isolated into a library located at HK-HomeKit-Lib
• Added MQTT_HOMEKEY_ALWAYS_UNLOCK and MQTT_HOMEKEY_ALWAYS_LOCK options to the configuration
• Implemented MQTT custom states, more info in the wiki here
• Now leveraging MQTT Discovery to integrate with Home Assistant and be able to control the lock from there

Important Note: This release removes the MQTT publishing of state to the MQTT_STATE_TOPIC topic upon a successful HomeKey authentication, however not entirely, more information on this can be found in the wiki here

First Release

Hello everyone!

In order to better track changes over time for this project, i've decided to take advantage of the releases section of GitHub, this will also help me attach helpful information regarding the released version like added features and if any breaking changes were introduced that people updating should be aware of.

This is also were i will be publishing binaries when the web interface will be done, so you don't have to compile/recompile the whole thing.

Thank you for your support and all the engagement with this project!

Note: For the time being i will be marking the releases as pre-release since i still don't consider this as production-ready and also to lower expectations for the new people.
