Version History
Version 1.1.3
- Implemented a robust MQTT publish mechanism using a throttled queue with payload deduplication to reduce load and prevent unnecessary messages.
- Room names used in MQTT topics are now sanitized to ensure compatibility with MQTT syntax (+, #, / are replaced).
- The volume-change event now includes the current volume (volume: newVolume) for clearer downstream logic.
- The MQTT client now uses a random clientId and clean: true to avoid stale session reuse.
