Just an update to give some insight into my (TD-er) situation and also a explanation about the slow development of the last few weeks.
In other words, the "open" in "open source" is also about the 'behind the scenes' openness.

In September I received word from my employer that they had to fire me (and some of my colleagues too).
Because my heart is with projects like these and there is clearly a demand for it, I decided to start my own business.
So while not my intention, it might be just the push I needed to make the jump and start a company.

This took quite some work and effort and following the process of the unemployment agency here in the Netherlands.
By starting this from within my unemployment, I do have some financial backup and thus it is not the end of the world if my new company isn't as successful as I expect/hope.

Last week, Monday January 28, my new company has officially started.
It is called Wits'it.
The name may need some explanation I guess ;)

"Wits" is in a lot of languages something smart, funny, understanding, practical intelligence, etc.
And "it" is "IT", but also a thing ("it")
Thus without using the word "smart", it is still about making things smart.
Another nice gimmick about the name is that the name of my girlfriend is "Witske", or "Wits" in short. :)
In other words, my intended projects are about specific requests which resemble things we already do for ESPeasy, but not limited to ESPeasy.
Also some of the stuff I will be doing for my company can be ported or moved to ESPeasy if allowed.

As one may imagine, the start of the company took quite some time the last few weeks, but gave me a lot more time than before in the months October/November.
That's why my presence on Github/Forum was a (lot) less than intended in the last 6 - 8 weeks. On top of that there was also something personal which hit me a lot harder than expected.

The work I will be doing for my company may thus yield new features which may end up in the open source part of ESPeasy.
The other direction is also possible, where I may use ESPeasy in commercial projects, but I will always make sure to obey the license.
This means the parts which are now open source, will always remain open source and thus free.

We (Grovkillen and I) have some plans on adding some new features which are meant for 'power users' which may not end up in the open source part of the code or only after some time.
This may also be new features developed as a paid assignment for some customer, which will only end up in open source part when agreed by the customer and maybe also only after some time.
Some of these new features may be made available to Patreon users or for some fee when used in more than N active devices.

My intention with the new company is to be a lot more flexible in time to do things I love to do and also be able to work on ESPeasy a lot more structured than the last 2 years and not only in the nightly hours.

So this has become a rather lengthy reply, but hopefully may make things a bit more clear about the current situation and future plans.

Yep, TD-er pretty much explained it all. And like I said in another thread:
We're building a portal that will be paid access only in order to get some proper income. Currently both me and TD-er is starting up our own businesses which takes some effort. Once the portal is up and running we hope to get some more traction in terms of sponsorship from the community = get 100% time to spend in ESP Easy.

So in short, that is what's needed for more attention.

@TD-er and @grovkillen:
Both of you, all the best with your new business.
I'll hope you can find financial and intellectual satisfaction.

Thanks for your endless support for EspEasy and the ideas to combine "open source" without "empty pocket".
I'll hope we reach again soon a "stable ground" for you both and for EspEasy.

regards
Domosapiens

Cash is running low, and that means I'm running an campaign right now. Buy one S8 at full price and I'll ship you 2 extra (refurbished) S8 for free!

https://firstbyte.shop/products/s8

Will run this until I say otherwise here. (8 units in stock...)

Here's a "live" sneak peak of the upcoming GUI (total make over). It's by no means final but a hint of what's to come. Once we reach $1000 per month we'll release it! ;)

Well then, let's hope that isn't achieved tomorrow, since it is not yet ready for a release. :)
But maybe Jimmy likes to be challenged 8-)

I hope you're not going to go the way of so many and go for a flashy website that puts form over function.

We want it to be an "ad" for the OS + a pictogram type introduction on how you get going. It's my job to do it but I'm doing the front end revamp and haven't got time for that in the short run.

Many thanks to the team,
which stands behind of this great firmware!
Every ESP in my house is running fine with ESPeasy,
temperature room sensors, doorbell, electric metering, 433MHz RF-Transmitter, IR-Roomba Controller.
Some time ago, i build an Arduino Leonardo Fortnite dummy configurable through an ESP8266 with ESPeasy and the rules engine.
With ESPeasy you can create almost everything, it‘s so awesome.

+1 20$ Patreon since yesterday!

Keep up the great work...

My page does have all checkmarks indicating it is reviewed.
I created it more than 2 weeks ago, if I'm not mistaken.

See: https://github.com/sponsors/TD-er

I will look at the repo specific options.

Sorry, the amount isn't big, but if things change with my job, I'll try to raise the amount.
You guys really deserve more for such an awesome work. As You wrote if one out of 10 people would support You guys then this project could grow even faster. I hope it will ;)

Well, right now you donate infinitely more than the rest via the Github sponsor page :)

We have some simple analytics running on the readthedocs page and the download counter from Github.
In September Jimmy showed me the stats on the readthedocs pages and we had since Jan 1st this year about 22k unique visitors from close to 190 countries.
My girlfriend's reaction to it was: "Those must be the female users you have, since men don't read manuals".
So given those numbers, if 10% of the active users would donate 1 euro a month, we would have almost a modal income.

Grovkillen and TD-er,

I know your problems with work etc., we hear this now more then a year. But when is the release of a final version?
The last stable is R120, (R147).

Nope it is not valid. But we're now working to a new release as you may have noticed by the activity on the Github repo page.
I've been closing lots and lots of issues, and the stability has improved a lot in the last few weeks.
Right now I want to know if the rules are not giving any surprise anymore and maybe we can also find out what is causing the issues with not able to reconnect on some nodes.
But I think that should be all to get the release tag on the code.

We've had a lot of issues with WiFi stability, which did delay it way more than it should have.

I'd say we're in the FF (feature freeze) for a new stable. So before the end of the year we'd most likely (finally) release a official stable.

Soon after that we hope to release the new GUI.

What the official version number we'll use is still under debate.
