[XTension] ESPresence Support - 9.5.1

[james at sentman.com]

I’m running this on several machines around here now and haven’t seen that, but the error message is likely that one or more of them are not returning a distance key in the json data and so the processing is dropping out at that point and scanning no more of the data. So that short circuits the update process and makes nothing else work.

I can protect against that and possibly set an error in the unit that is not sending the full data dictionary, or just ignore it if it doesn’t mean anything worth while. This will be in the release that I’m not going to get out today because I’m writing a thousand support emails to the list ;) 

But it will be there soon, watch for the release notification probably tomorrow.

The only thing that works is deleting all the “MQTT Interface” units that were auto-created and then restarting the interface to populate them again.  (But then the cycle will inevitably start again at some point).
