  • They must be declared as "g":[ Data GPIO, Output GPIO ].
  • For example, for Shelly Plus Add-on: "g":[1,0]; and for Shelly Gen1 Add-on: "g":[3,0].
• Several code changes needed for the Advanced Features that will come with v12.14.0.

Changelog 12.13.0:

• Free Monitor: Added option to save last state (value) using "s":5. Last state will be saved only when subsystem is triggered from another service, never from Free Monitor itself.
• Save last states subsystem: Several improvements to reduce CPU, DRAM and flash.
• Added a suffix letter to Installers hostnames, to differentiate between HAABoot: InstallerB, and OTAMain: InstallerM.
• ESP8266:
