    Improving the ESPHome captive portal

    The screen that gets an ESPHome device onto WiFi lists the same network once per access point, so a mesh shows up three or four times at different signal strengths. Tapping the strong one does nothing the weak one doesn't, because the device only ever gets the network name, not the access point you picked. I checked the source, then sent a 220-byte fix upstream to collapse the list to one row per network.
