v8.4.0

[dalathegreat]

What's Changed 📦

This update fixes a nasty crash issue that could occur when using MQTT. If you are using MQTT, it is highly recommended to update to this version. This release also introduces support for FoxESS OEM batteries, and fixes a few battery integration bugs.

The Wiki has also been updated with a ⭐ rating system, to help gauge the maturity of specific battery integrations. Be sure to check it out!

Note

Some users reported issues with OTA when trying to take the new partitioning scheme into use. From v8.3.0 and onwards it is mandatory to change "Tools, Partition Scheme" to "Minimal Spiffs". This is also explained in the Quickstart video. To get around the OTA failure, you can flash via USB. After successfully deploying the new partitioning scheme with an USB flash, following OTA updates will go smoothly.
