Add information about which branch is being used for the device #3402
Conversation
Add the information about which software branch, beta or stable, is being used on this device. This is accessible through both the JSON API and MQTT, just like the version string. This will automatically detect if it is a beta or not based on the release version configured in package.json to make sure it is always set properly. This could be really useful for any consumer of the API that wants to make sure to check the correct channel to know potentially if a device is using the most recent version, for example and also to match it to the correct branch (beta, soundreactive, ...).

It is a pity you used main branch as I can't pull into local repo. As a side note for @softhack007 and @Aircoookie we will need to start measuring |

I don't know what you mean by merge it in a "local" branch, but you can create a new pull request or edit the destination branch of this PR to point to another WLED branch. |
Any PR made to WLED repo can be checked out (by collaborators or owner) if it is made in a separate branch. So, if you'd made i.e. "release-check" branch and made PR from that, I'd be able to check-out and test-drive it. Please see https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/How-to-properly-submit-a-PR |

I created #3407 to follow the guidelines as recommended per @blazoncek |
