v0.5.0 MessagePack Event Socket

Changes the Event Socket System to use a clearer message structure and MessagePack. Brings breaking changes to the EventSocket.h API.

Updated daisyUI to v4. This has changes in the colors and switches to OKLCH. Also button groups and input groups have been depreciated in favor of join. This might require changes to custom parts of the code. Please double check all websites if the still have the desired looks.

Updates ArduinoJSON from v6 to v7 to increase the available free heap. If you make use of ArduinoJSON, changes might be required.

Added

• Debug buildflag to switch between MessagePack and JSON for event messages.
• Show SSID of the current WiFi Station as tooltip of the RSSI icon.

Changed

• Moved MQTT types to models.ts as well. #49
• Updated daisyUI to 4.10.2 #48
• Fixed spelling error in models.ts
• Changed ArduinoJson from v6 to v7 increasing the free heap by ~40kb
• Split NotificationService out of EventSocket into own class
• Changed API of EventSocket.h. Now uses void emitEvent(String event, JsonObject &jsonObject, const char *originId = "", bool onlyToSameOrigin = false);.
• Changed event socket message format to MessagePack

Fixed

• Fixes to WiFi.svelte and models.ts to fix type errors and visibility rights.
• Fixes bug in highlighting the menu when navigating with the browser (back/forward)
• Made WiFi connection routine more robust by using BSSID. Ensures that the STA truly connects to the strongest hotspot, even if several hotspots are in reach.

Removed

• Removed duplicate in ESP32SvelteKit.cpp #47 and WiFi.svelte #50

Acknowledgment

Many thanks to @runeharlyk who contributed significantly to the new event socket system and fixed many smaller issues with the front-end.

v0.4.0 EventSocket System

This upgrade might require one minor change as MqttPubSub.h and its class had been renamed to MqttEndpoint.h and MqttEndoint respectively. However, it is strongly advised, that you change all existing WebSocketServer endpoints to the new event socket system.

Note

The new Event Socket system is likely to change with coming updates.

Added

• Added build flag -D SERIAL_INFO to platformio.ini to enable / disable all Serial.print() statements. On some boards with native USB those Serial prints have been reported to block and make the server unresponsive.
• Added a hook handler to StatefulService. Unlike an UPDATE a hook is called every time a state receives an updated, even if the result is UNCHANGED or ERROR.
• Added missing include for S2 in SystemStatus.cpp #23
• Added awareness of front end build script for all 3 major JS package managers. The script will auto-identify the package manager by the lock-file. #40
• Added a new event socket to bundle the websocket server and the notifications events. This saves on open sockets and allows for concurrent visitors of the internal website. The normal websocket server endpoint remains as an option, should a pure websocket connection be desired. An EventEndpoint was added to use this with Stateful Services. #29 and #43
• TS Types definition in one central place for the frontend.

Changed

• more generic board definition in platformio.ini #20
• Renamed MqttPubSub.h and class to MqttEndpoint.h and class.
• refactored MqttEndpoint.h into a single class to improve readability
• Moves appName and copyright to layout.ts to keep customization in one place #31
• Make event source use timeout for reconnect #34
• Make each toasts disappear after timeout #35
• Fixed version platform = espressif32 @ 6.6.0 in platformio.ini
• Analytics data limited to 1000 data points (roughly 33 minutes).
• postcss.config.cjs as ESM module #24

Fixed

• Fixed compile error with FLAG -D SERVE_CONFIG_FILES
• Fixed typo in telemetry.ts #38
• Fixed the development warning: Loading /rest/features using 'window.fetch'. For best results, use the 'fetch' that is passed to your 'load' function:

Removed

• Duplicate method in FeatureService #18
• Duplicate lines in Systems Settings view.
• Removes duplicate begin #36
• Temporary disabled OTA progress update due to crash with PsychicHttp #32 until a fix is found.

Known Issues

• On ESP32-C3 the security features should be disabled in features.ini: -D FT_SECURITY=0. If enabled the ESP32-C3 becomes extremely sluggish with frequent connection drops.

v0.3.0 Exchange ESPAsyncWebserver with PsychicHttp

Caution

This update has breaking changes!

This is a major change getting rid of all ESPAsyncTCP and ESPAsyncWebserver dependencies. Despite their popularity they are plagued with countless bugs, since years unmaintained, not SSL capable and simply not suitable for a production build. Although several attempts exist to fix the most pressing bugs even these libraries lead to frequent crashes. This new version replaces them with ESP-IDF based components. PsychicHttp and PsychicMqttClient both wrap the ESP-IDF components in a familiar wrapper for easy porting of the code base. However, this will break existing code and will require some effort on your codebase. In return the stability is improved greatly and the RAM usage more friendly. Now e.g. running Bluetooth in parallel becomes possible.

Added

• Added postscript to platform.io build process to copy, rename and calculate MD5 checksum of *.bin file. These files are ready for uploading to the Github Release page.
• Added more information to SystemStatus API
• Added generateToken API for security settings
• Added Multi-WiFi capability. Add up to five WiFi configurations and connect to either strongest network (default), or by priority.
• Added InfoDialog as a simpler version of the ConfirmDialog for a simple notification modal.
• Added Adafruit certificate repository as the default choice for the X509 certificate bundle.

Changed

• Better route protection for user page with deep link.
• Changed build_interface.py script to check for modified files in the interface sources before re-building the interface. Saves some time on the compilation process.
• Upload firmware binary allows uploading of MD5 checksum file in advance to verify downloaded firmware package.
• GithubFirmwareManager checks against PIO build_target in filename to support Github OTA for binaries build for various targets. You should rename your old release *.bin files on the Github release pages for backward compatibility.
• Changed MQTT Client to an ESP-IDF backed one which supports SSL/TLS X509 root CA bundles and transport over WS.
• Changed the PROGMEM_WWW flag to EMBED_WWW as there is technically speaking no PROGMEM on ESP32's.
• Updated dependencies to the latest version. Except SvelteKit.

Fixed

• Fixed reactivity of System Status page.

Removed

• Removed support for Arduino ESP OTA.
• HttpEndpoints and Websocket Server without a securityManager are no longer possible.

Migrate from ESPAsyncWebServer to PsychicHttp

Migrate main.cpp

Change the server and ESPSvelteKit instances to PsychicHttpServer and give the ESP32SvelteKit constructor the number of http endpoints of your project.

PsychicHttpServer server;
ESP32SvelteKit esp32sveltekit(&server, 120);

Remove server.begin(); in void setup(). This is handled by ESP32SvelteKit now.

Migrate platformio.ini

Remove the following build_flags:

    ; Increase queue size of SSE and WS
    -D SSE_MAX_QUEUED_MESSAGES=64
    -D WS_MAX_QUEUED_MESSAGES=64
    -D CONFIG_ASYNC_TCP_RUNNING_CORE=0
    -D NO_GLOBAL_ARDUINOOTA
    -D PROGMEM_WWW

Add the following build_flags and adjust to your app, if needed:

    -D BUILD_TARGET=\"$PIOENV\"
    -D APP_NAME=\"ESP32-Sveltekit\" ; Must only contain characters from [a-zA-Z0-9-_] as this is converted into a filename
    -D APP_VERSION=\"0.3.0\" ; semver compatible version string
    -D EMBED_WWW

Remove the lib dependency esphome/AsyncTCP-esphome @ ^2.0.0 and add https://github.com/theelims/PsychicMqttClient.git

Consider adjusting board_ssl_cert_source = adafruit, so that the new MQTT client has universal SSL/TLS support with a wide range of CA root certificates.

Migrate factory_settings.ini

The new MQTT client has slightly renamed factory settings:

  ; MQTT settings
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_ENABLED=false
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_URI=\"mqtts://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:8883\"
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_USERNAME=\"\" ; supports placeholders
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_PASSWORD=\"\"
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_CLIENT_ID=\"#{platform}-#{unique_id}\" ; supports placeholders
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_KEEP_ALIVE=120
  -D FACTORY_MQTT_CLEAN_SESSION=true

Max Topic Length is no longer needed.

Custom Stateful Services

Adapt the class constructor ((PsychicHttpServer *server, ...) to PsychicHttpServer.

Due to the loading sequence HttpEndoint and WebsocketServer both have gotten a begin() function to register their http endpoints with the server. This must be called in your stateful services' own begin() function:

void LightStateService::begin()
{
    _httpEndpoint.begin();
    _webSocketServer.begin();
    _state.ledOn = DEFAULT_LED_STATE;
    onConfigUpdated();
}
