What's Changed

This release improves OTA behaviour of the Battery-Emulator significantly. We now pause the battery operation before an OTA update is started. This avoids premature contactor wear, and makes inverters less likely to trigger fault codes. You can also manually trigger a pause from the Webserver. Pauses generate events that can be seen in the event log. Bonus, the OTA view also specifies which software/hardware version you are currently on.

This release also improves MQTT functionality , events are now sent via MQTT!

Finally, this release adds authentication to the Webserver. You can now protect it with an username and password!
