Hi, just wanted to say, R105 is very stable, still running it on bread board, no issues with speed of that interface. I think the trick was debug 0 on serial. Still have not tested another ESP12F to see if also getting stuttering http interface. Thank you to Dev's! (looking forward to R106)

Rules examples ~ Variables?

I want to switch on/off the geyser based on timer if a variable, which I want to pass into ESP with MQTT is not set, and visa versa, want to be able to override setting on/off via web page and then to override the schedule rules. One way is to pass a variable by publishing with MQTT, like /ESP12-01/...
