About OpenMQTTGateway
OpenMQTTGateway spent three years shedding its dependencies, then stopped shipping entirely.
The last release was January 2025, a single bug fix for adaptive scanning restarting the gateway. Before that, the project moved steadily toward standing alone: 1.8.0 embedded an MQTT broker via PicoMQTT so a gateway no longer needs an external server, 1.6.0 added a web interface so it no longer needs a home automation controller to configure, and 1.5.0 brought device trackers for presence detection with over-the-air updates from the controller. Hardware arrived alongside software, with the Theengs Bridge in 1.7.0 and the Theengs Plug in 1.3.0.
