About OpenMQTTGateway
OpenMQTTGateway follows its 22-month comeback with a quick reboot-loop fix.
OpenMQTTGateway shipped v1.9.0 on November 7, its first release since January 2025. It moves to the Arduino ESP32 core 3.x, ships Theengs Decoder 2.5.0 with a fix for a BLE advertisement parsing flaw affecting every earlier release, and hardens buffer handling across MQTT, HTTP, BLE and RF input. Upgrade notes warn that some Home Assistant unique_ids change and that encrypted BLE devices are skipped until a key is set.
