ESP-NOW gateway for ESP8266/ESP32

Gateway for data exchange between ESP-NOW devices and MQTT broker via WiFi.

Features

In case of lost a WiFi connection after successfuly connection search the required WiFi SSID availability every 30 seconds.
2. Possibility a device search through the Windows Network Environment via SSDP.
3. Periodically transmission of system information to the MQTT broker (every 60 seconds) and availability status to the ESP-NOW network and to the MQTT broker (every 10 seconds).
4. Automatically adds gateway configuration to Home Assistan via MQTT discovery as a binary_sensor.
5. Possibility firmware update over OTA.
6. Web interface for settings.

Notes

1. ESP-NOW mesh network based on the library ZHNetwork.
2. Regardless of the status of connections to WiFi or MQTT the device perform ESP-NOW node function.
