Thanks for your kind words and your project! I have no idea how I missed Home Assistant, written in Python3 and so popular (my usual complain about HA projects is &quot;where&#x27;re Python projects?&quot; and &quot;where&#x27;s critical mass?&quot;). I wish it would have caught my eye earlier.<p>My journey with MicroPython actually started with my smart home project needs - I wanted to use one of those small inexpensive Linux routers as a central controller. With only 4MB of flash, full Python wouldn&#x27;t fit there, and USB port would be taken by Bluetooth dongle. I tried, really tried to get in love with Lua, but that didn&#x27;t work, then I hacked on another small language called Squirrel, but when MicroPython campaign was announced, I really rejoiced. Well, that was more than 2 years, and since then, we had big progress with MicroPython, and I had much less progress with my home automation project ;-).<p>How I explained it to myself, is that, OK, I&#x27;ll concentrate on uPy, to make it fairly complete and really cool, and that will enable other folks to make cool projects with it, which I myself will like, will be able to pick up, use, contribute to - instead of writing my own. Reading your message, I get a feeling that it might as well be true, and before I grow old ;-).<p>So, thanks again for your links, Home Assistant is at the top of my list to look into (and I have couple of dozen projects in it). And well, we&#x27;ll try to do everything to uphold your hopes for MicroPython on ESP8266!
