Support for static IP and BSSID/MAC, Channel of AP

[benzino77]

Support for static IP and BSSID/MAC, Channel of AP

• added parameters to config.json which allow to define static ip, mask,
  gateway, dns
• added parameters to config.json which allow to define BSSID and
  channel of AP

To run device with defined static IP you have to define ip, mask and
gateway together.

To point device to connect to specific BSSID and channel you have to
define bssid and channel together.

On my environment (Wemos D1 mini and Mikrotik router) it took less than 1s to send initial statistics to broker after poweron/restart device. With dynamic IP and without BSSID/channel definition it took more then 4s.

That's awesome! Thanks a lot 😇 docs is the only thing left

[benzino77]

Which part of documentation will be OK? "JSON configuration file"?

[marvinroger]

Yes! That would be great. 👍

[benzino77]

Done. Have a look at my proposition on project's site.

[marvinroger]

Thanks! Merged in 😇

There is some wrong format in "JSON file" section:

[marvinroger]

Yup, it's fixed, it was using tabs whereas the rest of the JSON is 2-spaces. 😉
