All backend timestamps used datetime.now() (server local time) or the
deprecated datetime.utcnow(). The frontend's parseUTCDate() assumes
timestamps without timezone indicators are UTC and appends 'Z', so
stored timestamps were off by the timezone offset when the container's
timezone wasn't UTC.
Backend: replaced datetime.now() and datetime.utcnow() with
datetime.now(timezone.utc) across 16 files (~80 call sites) for all
database fields and DB comparisons. Cosmetic timestamps (filenames,
user-facing local time formatting) intentionally left as local time.
Frontend: replaced 13 new Date(backendTimestamp) calls with
parseUTCDate() across 8 files to correctly interpret UTC timestamps.
Existing code did not allow the MQTT relay to be shut down gracefully.
Moved _client.loop_stop() after _client.disconnect() call to allow
Paho to be notified to disconnect and shut down without reconnecting.
Added _client._disconnection_event to help prevent a race condition where
a disconnection is requested but the loop is immediately stopped.
Modify _client.disconnect() to take a timeout parameter (default: 0).
Wait in that routine for the disconnection event with the given timeout.
Apply same logic to MQTTSmartPlugService and add to shutdown sequence.
Shutdown the MQTT relay last in lifespan() with a hard-coded 2 sec timeout.
The disconnect timeout is also available to printer MQTT clients.
It is left to the default of 0 at this time. If later enabled,
it should be a configuration parameters, especially for large farms.
Fixes: #327

- Path is now optional for power, energy, and state topics
- When path is empty, raw MQTT payload value is used directly
- Energy and state topics no longer fall back to power topic
- Added helper text in UI explaining path is optional
- Fixes energy monitoring not working with separate topics
Closes 173
- Add separate MQTT topics for power, energy, and state monitoring
- mqtt_power_topic, mqtt_power_path, mqtt_power_multiplier
- mqtt_energy_topic, mqtt_energy_path, mqtt_energy_multiplier
- mqtt_state_topic, mqtt_state_path, mqtt_state_on_value
- Support different MQTT topics per data type (e.g., Zigbee2MQTT with
separate power/energy/state topics)
- Individual multipliers for power and energy (e.g., mW→W, Wh→kWh)
- Configurable ON value for state monitoring (e.g., "ON", "true", "1")
- Maintain backward compatibility with legacy mqtt_topic/mqtt_multiplier
- Database migration auto-copies legacy fields to new fields
- Update backup/restore to handle new MQTT fields
- Add backend tests for new MQTT configurations
- Update frontend form with organized Power/Energy/State sections
Closes#173
Add support for MQTT-based smart plugs that subscribe to external MQTT
topics and extract power/energy data from JSON payloads. This enables
integration with Zigbee2MQTT, Shelly, Tasmota discovery, and other
MQTT-enabled energy monitoring devices.
Features:
- New "mqtt" plug type alongside tasmota and homeassistant
- Subscribe to any MQTT topic with configurable JSON paths
- Extract power, energy, and state values using dot notation
- Optional multiplier for unit conversion (mW to W, etc.)
- Monitor-only mode (no on/off control) with teal color scheme
- Reuses existing MQTT broker settings from network configuration
- Energy data included in statistics and per-print tracking
- Full backup/restore support for MQTT plug configurations
Closes#173
