🚀 [Feature Request]: Unification of MQTT Settings

[Xaositek]

OS

iOS, iPadOS, macOS

Description

I'd like to suggest in the Apple programs, we look at unifying the location of similar settings, starting with MQTT. Setting up a new node and verifying configuration across two settings pages and up to 8 channel pages and result in missed elections.

Currently you must visit and verify:

• Settings > LoRa Config > Ignore MQTT or Ok to MQTT
• Settings > MQTT - verify base configuration and setup
• Channels > (Visit each channel) > Uplink and/or Downlink are selected

The ask here is to unify all MQTT related checks, configuration and opt-in/opt-out into a single settings screen.

The settings in the app directly mirror the protobufs that they are a part of, this is required for remote admin functionality a cleanup of these settings needs to start in the protobufs themselves. MQTT config is also at the size limit now.

Can it be a backlog item to revisit at a time when it makes sense?

"Ignore MQTT" and "OK to MQTT" were deliberately chosen to be in the LoRa config, because you control it for receiving and transmitting over LoRa. A user should not have to check a specific module configuration to control what's happening over LoRa in my opinion.

Being that there is already a 3.0 issue for uplink and downlink, there is not much left here
