- Argument number was incorrect
- did not set time source. (so you had to set NTP which defeats the purpose of this command
- Added documentation
- Moved the command call to the correct first letter of the alphabet.
The plugin was assuming the values stored in UserVar were correct.
After a cold boot, or when the NTP time (or via GPS) was not yet set, these values for last time or next time could be just about any value.
This means it was possible the Cron task would never fire an event if the next time was computed far in the future.
Also restructured the code a bit, to make it more readable.
Also removed ProtocolIndex from the event struct as it is redundant information which can easily be forgotten to set.
Sorted the described commands in the documentation and added a few missing commands.
It appears the events called from rules must be run immediately, but there are some use cases where it can be useful to have async events.
So changed back the behavior for events called from rules, to be executed immediately.
Added the new command AsyncEvent.
Until now a lot of ways to handle a command were handling the pre-processing of the command differently.
So the source of the command can make a difference whether system variables can be used for example.
Now all use the same function to pre-process the commands.
Store the last used BSSID and channel in the RTC and use it for initial WiFi connect attempt.
This does speed up the WiFI connection to about 1.8 sec after boot.
Old situation was connected at about 3.9 sec after boot.
When booting from cold boot, the strongest known RSSI is chosen first.
MQTT controller queue handling is now more aggressive in trying to get rid of buffered packets.
It also now accepts the MQTT messages before it is connected to WiFi (or when not yet reconnected)
See #2650
The counter wifi_connect_attempt is being used to determine whether the fallback SSID should be tried.
It is also used to determine whether a "quick reconnect" is possible using the BSSID and channel of the last successful connection.
If the connection is unstable, (last connection was active for over 5 minutes) then the connect attempt counter can be reset.
