  • Actually allow –debuglevel=2 to see additional mail logging

New in version 8.0.6.

Bugfixes

  • Readded min / max dimlevel in generic_dimmer, but validation is still disabled

webserver, mail and http library

At this moment the https, mail, and webserver module and the full pilight-sha256 program has been backported from rewrite. The asynchronous I/O library libuv has been added as well as the new SSL and eventpool module. The openweathermap and weather underground protocols have been adapted to use this new code as well as the pushbullet and pushover event actions.

  • pilight now supports a HTTPS webserver which can be configured in the settings:

    { "webserver-https-port": 5002 }
    
  • pilight also stopped detecting if the mailserver you have configures requires an SSL connection. To tell pilight about the SSL requirement of a mail server a new setting has been added. Servers that switch from a plain connection to SSL require a 0 value here:

    { "smtp-ssl": 1 }
    

New in version 8.0.2.

Bugfixes

  • wiringX log was scrambled

New in version 8.0.1.

Bugfixes

  • gpio_switch protocol that stops working after a while
  • pilight not starting at boottime
