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.
Implemented a new function to strip surrounding quotes from strings in TxtDataHelpers, enhancing string manipulation capabilities. Updated CommonCLI to handle MQTT origin configuration, allowing for both setting and clearing of the mqtt.origin preference. This change improves the flexibility of MQTT origin management in the CLI.
Updated the MQTT message structure to add a new field for repeat status, allowing the indication of forwarding status as "on" or "off". This change includes modifications to the MQTTMessageBuilder and related documentation to reflect the new parameter. Additionally, updated CLI command documentation to clarify flooding behavior in different firmware versions.
Updated MyMesh implementations in simple_repeater and simple_room_server to set mqtt_origin to an empty string, allowing the effective origin to follow node_name during publishing. Introduced new functions in MQTTBridge to manage effective origin retrieval and refresh from preferences, ensuring consistent behavior across MQTT operations. This change simplifies the origin management and enhances clarity in the codebase.
This slipped through in PR #2327 and I noticed because the TechoBoard.h
for my variant doesn't include the Wire header, so the source file
in question does not coincidentally obtain a copy.
The `::init` method in the Adafruit ST7789 library is responsible to
initialize the device. This includes performing a reset, which can be
found in the Adafruit source for `Adafruit_SPITFT`.
Before this change, MeshCore performed its own ST7789 display reset
sequence, which consisted of three steps.
* Pull reset low
* Wait 10ms
* Pull reset high
Importantly, there was no fixed delay after pulling reset high. The
ST7789 driver requires a delay (T<sub>RT</sub>) of 5ms in Sleep In Mode
and 120ms in Sleep Out Mode before it will properly receive commands.
When `Adafruit_SPITFT` resets the device after MeshCore has already
reset it, the mandatory time may not have elapsed, leading to strange
behavior. In the author's case, this issue caused the initial
`fillScreen` to fail, such that the display showed an uninitialized
framebuffer.
This removes the MeshCore delay, leaving the responsibility of reset to
`Adafruit_SPITFT`, where they have the correct delays in place with
extra safety margin. The change was briefly tested by Josiah VanderZee
and Ben Zignego on a custom hardware build using an nRF52840 Dongle and
an Adafruit 4311 TFT display. The user button seemed to behave
strangely, but the display looked correct.
Introduced new PlatformIO environments for the LilyGo T-LoRa V2.1-1.6 board, including `LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6_repeater_observer_mqtt` and `LilyGo_TLora_V2_1_1_6_room_server_observer_mqtt`. These environments optimize flash usage by omitting the `sensor_base` and include specific build flags and dependencies for enhanced MQTT capabilities. Updated documentation to reflect changes in partition table handling and NVS settings during firmware updates.
