0.17.0 🚀 AiMesh support

2023-01-08

🔒 Requirements

Devices:
- Added device modes (Router or AiMesh node) which can be selected during initial integration configuration or via Configure option on the Integrations page
- Devices in Router mode support all the features of AsusRouter
- Devices in AiMesh node mode support the following feature groups: Main, CPU, LED, Load average, Network, Ports, RAM, Temperature. Other features are disabled as unreliable / duplicating
Added AiMesh support (FW: 386.x+ only, details):
- Wireless backhaul
- Wired backhaul
- Node status binary_sensor entities
- Node devices
- Node-related events: asusrouter_node_connected, asusrouter_node_disconnected, asusrouter_node_reconnected
- via_device attribute for the node devices
- AiMesh data is updated at the same rate as connected devices
Added node MAC to the connected device identity
Adjusted entities attributes to be sorted alphabetically in the frontend (except for some default attributes of device_tracker entities)
Improved generation of unique IDs
Network interfaces are renamed to more obvoius names (WLAN0 -> 2.4 GHz, WLAN1 -> 5 GHz and so on). entity_id will stay as they are if already in use. For new users, entity_id will have new naming

Added new API endpoint to monitor online status - device trackers should become more reliable (FW: 386.x+ only)
Fixed naming of temperature sensors after bug in 0.15.0
Fixed Platform asusrouter does not generate unique IDs.
Fixed problems with unique IDs for multiple devices setup
Fixed events options

A new string Device mode was added to the configuration flow (in respect to the new device modes implemented). It still requires the following translations: cs, es, fr, nl, pt-BR, sk. You can translate it on lines 18, 31 and 111 of the corresponding traslation file (marked with [NT] as Not Translated)
A string was updated from Device trackers update to Devices / AiMesh update to signify thew same time interval for all the devices. Requires translations: cs, es, fr, nl, pt-BR, sk. Lines 49 and 141
New strings added for node events. Missing cs, es, fr, nl, pt-BR, sk. Lines 175:177

Added scripts for automatic generation of devices and available features
Updated compatible devices list
Updated feature list to show which of features are available in which device mode
