This change has been planned for a while, and BTHome v2 + Home Assistant
is currently the most convenient, hassle-free and maintained way to
interface with the BLE sample currently.
After we tracked down a rare, annoying bug for the zigbee sample in #150,
this PR does something similar for the ble sample. If there's an error
either initializing the board of reading the sensors, __ASSERT will
reboot the system, instead of letting it hang forever.
I've been debugging a Shelly [bluetooth
proxy](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/shelly/#bluetooth-support)
feature, which didn't like b-parasite's advertising. It swallowed it before proxying it to HA.
I compared to both ATC and the legacy b-parasite advertising
(pre-nrf-connect) and found it to be related to the
non-connectable/non-scannable settings. Until this PR, we were
mistankenly settings the advertising to scannable, although with no
scannable data. The Zephyr code that sets this parameter based on the
scannable data is [here](c0fcd35531/subsys/bluetooth/host/adv.c (L860)).
My bet is that some scanners like ESPHome are okay with this, but Shelly
is not. Either way, I believe this PR makes the advertisements more
compliant.
This will enable us to transparently use different calibration for
different board revisions. The 2.0.0 revision changes the sensing
circuitry and will need its own coeffs.
In this commit, both models are run in parallel for debugging.
We were previously relying on the default values (100ms, 150ms). This
PR makes it easier to test and configure parameters for different
tradeoffs between range / power consumption (#98).
