Homie isn't compatible with Espressif 8266 platform core v3.0.0

[RunningPenguin]

Hi,

I just updated my platform Espressif 8266 in PlatformIO from version 2.5.0 to version 3.0.0

Then some projects which are working with the "old" version stopped to work.

The first issue is these one: .pio/libdeps/d1_mini/Homie/src/Homie/Boot/BootConfig.cpp: In member function 'void HomieInternals::BootConfig::_proxyHttpRequest(AsyncWebServerRequest*)': .pio/libdeps/d1_mini/Homie/src/Homie/Boot/BootConfig.cpp:315:20: error: call to 'HTTPClient::begin' declared with attribute error: obsolete API, use ::begin(WiFiClient, url) 315 | _httpClient.begin(url); | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~

I haven't investigated if there are more issues. Perhaps the fix is just to add three lines like described here: https://community.platformio.org/t/bool-httpclient-begin-string-is-deprecated/16924

But for the first the addition of the platform version in platformio.ini is a workaround

platform = espressif8266 @ 2.5.0

add three lines like described here

Kinda, the fix is to add WiFiClient _wifiClient; to the class in BootConfig.hpp and then fix the call (_httpClient.begin(_wifiClient, url);)
