OpenMQTTGateway v0.9.6

Big release time, I hope you enjoy it!

This one brings a lot of features and improvements.

• In particular the support of RTL_433 library to ESP32 thanks to @NorthernMan54. This is a huge addition to the community as this library enables to support a lot of new protocols. More than 75 433Mhz protocols supported with an ESP32 + a CC1101!
  Here is an example with a weather station:

home/OpenMQTTGateway_RTL_433_ESP/RTL_433toMQTT

{"model":"WS2032","id":38553,"battery_ok":1,"temperature_C":22.3,"humidity":65,"wind_dir_deg":90.0,"wind_avg_km_h":0,"wind_max_km_h":0,"rain":256,"flags":0,"mic":"CRC","protocol":"WS2032 weather station","rssi":-52,"duration":511982}

• Also, @csiki2 improved the BLE gateway by adding a queue mechanism, bringing more stability to the gateway, and improving the number of BLE packets transmitted. Thanks to this, the gateway can now be configured for the continuous scan (TimeBtwRead:0, Scan_duration:1000) and catch easily BLE PIR and door/window sensors events.

• Regarding the BLE gateway, sensor devices are now created automatically in Home Assistant so as to gather their entities. You can add directly these devices from configuration->devices into your Lovelace UI. Thanks, @titilambert, and @francisp.

But that's not all, let's take a deeper look at all the new devices, boards, and features!

New devices:

• LYWSD03MMC with PVVX style messages compatibility thanks to @csiki2

• Add CGP1W Qingping branded sensor thanks to @titilambert
• Add CGPR1 Qingping PIR and luminance sensor
• Add CGH1 Qingping door and window sensor

New boards:

• Heltec ESP32 Lora thanks to @hallard
• TTGO T-Beam and ADC value thanks to @hallard
• ESP32 Adafruit feather
• M5Stickc Plus
• ESP32 Lolin32 Lite board definition, our current low power champion!

New features:

• RTL433 support thanks to @NorthernMan54
• Bluetooth lockless queue thanks to @csiki2
• Publish scan count in SYStoMQTT
• Enable deactivation of BLE connect by MQTT
• Added Xiaomi Mi scale XMTZC04HM lbs unit and stabilization

Under the hood:

• Improve wifi reconnections
• Improve RCSwitch stability
• Update IRremote ESP8266
• Minor BT refactoring thanks to @csiki2
• BT discovery fix thanks to @csiki2
• Remove wifi protocol auto change, this was causing issues on some Fritzbox routers
• Platforms update
• Increase Json buffer size for ESP board
• Correct advanced network parameter on ESP

• update temperature unit to work in HA thanks to @orrpan

Docs:

• Added room presence example
• Readme update thanks to @anarchking

• Add M5 SYS parameters to auto discovery

Deprecate - items that will be removed on the next release:

• SimplePublishing and simpleReceiving methods will be removed see why here
