If you are on Linux and don't want to (or can't) install Chrome based browser to flash you can use the Python based flash tool from Espressif.
It took me some searching and reading the docs of esptool to get the commands to work, then I thought I can save this time for others by adding the relevant info to this how to.
* Use a task to process immediate BLE actions to prevent MQTT disconnection if the action takes too long to complete.
* Add state_on and state_off parameters to createDiscovery
* Add ability to specify pulse length in ZactuatorONOFF
Add an additional parameter to the MQTT message to control the actuatorONOFF pulse length e.g. `mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway_MEGA/commands/MQTTtoONOFF -m '{"gpio":15,"cmd":"high_pulse","pulse_length":25}'`
* Simplify initialization of pulselength
This allows for connecting to devices that do not use the MAC address type 0.
This also adds the logging of the "mac_type" so it is visible to users trying to connect to broadcasting devices.
Additionally this will allow for future connectable devices using a MAC address type other than 0 to be automatically connected to
when support is added for them, similar to LYWSD03MMC etc..
* Add immediate parameter to BLE connection commands.
When sending a command to read/write a characteristic on a BLE server this adds a new parameter to cause the action to be
performed immediately. This will stop the scan in progress to perform the actions queued.
Example use:
```
mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/config -m '{
"ble_write_address":"AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF",
"ble_write_service":"cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b",
"ble_write_char":"cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b",
"ble_write_value":"TEST",
"value_type":"STRING",
"ttl":4,
"immediate":true }'
```
Stop BLE processing when immeditate command sent.
* Use a shorter connection timeout.
* Update docs.
* Remove MQTT spam for connection retrys
* Prevent crashing when the normal connection process occurs at the same time as an immediate action.
* Use a semaphore to protect BLE device vector.
* Add ability to change MQTT topic and or gateway name by MQTT command.
This adds new commands to allow changing the MQTT topic and or gateway name from a command.
The new topic/name will be saved in flash memory and used on subsequent reboots.
Either/both parameters can be sent or combined with other commands.
Example use:
```
mosquitto_pub -t "home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoSYS/config" -m
'{
"mqtt_topic": "topic/",
"gateway_name: "name"
}'
```

* Disable MQTTsetMQTT and MQTT_HTTPS_FW_UPDATE to allow OTA for Avatto Bakery IR
Trying to update my Avattos with the currently released 0.9.8 I found that OTA wasn't possible any longer as the build was now to large
0.9.8
Checking size .pio/build/avatto-bakeey-ir/firmware.elf
Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
RAM: [==== ] 42.4% (used 34772 bytes from 81920 bytes)
Flash: [====== ] 55.2% (used 528716 bytes from 958448 bytes)
this goes back to 0.9.7, where WiFi, MQTT and firmware update was introduced over MQTT commands
0.9.7
Checking size .pio/build/avatto-bakeey-ir/firmware.elf
Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
RAM: [==== ] 42.4% (used 34772 bytes from 81920 bytes)
Flash: [====== ] 55.2% (used 528716 bytes from 958448 bytes)
Going back to building 0.9.6 I was able to OTA update again with the much smaller build
0.9.6
Checking size .pio/build/avatto-bakeey-ir/firmware.elf
Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
RAM: [==== ] 39.7% (used 32512 bytes from 81920 bytes)
Flash: [==== ] 41.4% (used 396804 bytes from 958448 bytes)
Building 0.9.8 with the flags brings the build back to OTAable size
0.9.8 with
'-UMQTTsetMQTT'
'-UMQTT_HTTPS_FW_UPDATE'
Checking size .pio/build/avatto-bakeey-ir/firmware.elf
Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
RAM: [==== ] 39.9% (used 32684 bytes from 81920 bytes)
Flash: [==== ] 42.3% (used 405024 bytes from 958448 bytes)
Similar to the flag setting in [env:rfbridge]
I'm not even sure if MQTT_HTTPS_FW_UPDATE would even work on the Avatto, with the limited flash memory.
Should we also add
board_build.ldscript = eagle.flash.1m64.ld
as a default, as it's required for OTA updates on the Avattos as discussed in https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/issues/763#issuecomment-698864712 ?
* Doc addition for restricted MQTT options
Doc addition for https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/pull/1046 and https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/pull/986
This allows for directly uploading OMG to ESP32 and ESp8266 devices from the upload section of the documentation.
This will upload the latest release binary for the device selected in the dropdown menu on the webpage.
A script has been added to generate the upload page when a new release is issued.
When updating from the MQTT command from a SSL enabled server this adds an option to provide
the server SSL certificate with the command.
This is useful if connecting to different servers or if the configured certificate has expired
and requires updating to not lose the ability to update via OTA.
The certificate provided will be saved to flash memory for use on subsequent restarts.
* Define MQTTsetMQTT for configuring MQTT over MQTT
* Enable MQTTsetMQTT per default on all ESP except RFBridge

* Fixes BLE scanning being disabled after switching server fails.
* Fixes crash caused by BLE scan results arriving while switching servers.
* Adds documentation to use the server switching command.
* EXPERIMENTAL: Ble read/write characteristics over MQTT.
Uses #979
This allows reading and writing BLE characteristics from an MQTT message.
Example format:
mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/config -m '{"ble_write_address":"AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF", "ble_write_service":"cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b", "ble_write_char":"cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b", "ble_write_value":"TEST", "ttl":4 }'
mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/config -m '{"ble_read_address":"30:AE:A4:7C:3C:A6", "ble_read_service":"cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b", "ble_read_char":"cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b", "ttl": 2 }'
The ttl parameter is the number of calls to connect (defaults to 1), which occur after the BLE scan completes.
A response is provided over MQTT in the format:
write : {"id":"30:AE:A4:7C:3C:A6","service":"cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b","characteristic":"cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b","write":"TEST","success":true}
read : {"id":"30:AE:A4:7C:3C:A6","service":"cba20d00-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b","characteristic":"cba20002-224d-11e6-9fb8-0002a5d5c51b","read":"TEST","success":true}
* Add generic BLE connect class and read data as hex.
* Add value_type parameter and document usage
* Add note to docs
