Add Last Will and Testament to Ready Topic in MQTT #1755

Closed chrkov closed 9 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Mainly an enhancement.

Describe the solution you'd like Right now, if FPP stops gracefully, it updates the Ready topic to 0 and when FPP starts, it updates to 1. Its a great way to know the device is online and FPP is running. But if the device drops offline (network loss, power loss or device failure) this topic will not be updated. By adding a Last Will and Testament to it, the broker would update this automatically to 0 when the device stops updating the Topic. This is a better way to know loss of a device than just a ping to it.

Describe alternatives you've considered Right now, I just ping the device separately.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
