Code Garage to the rescue.

Well I was very saddened by the news that MYS site was shut down.
Yes there are alternatives but the flexibility to learn and develop independently without the data spying used by some big business was a huge plus for me. Having all the data at home and the ability to mix and match sensors tailored exactly to my requirements was just the job!
There were areas where this site could have been improved and that could have made more people stay and learn.. I think most new users gave up in frustration after just 2 or 3 posts.
I never heard of Code Garage before, but thank you for this bold move and long live my sensors!

Hello Everyone,
Thank you so much for the kind words and warm support! We are truly honored to take care of MySensors.org. We deeply value the community and the incredible knowledge shared here over the years.
We would also like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who has been involved in building and maintaining this amazing project. Your dedication and hard work have created something truly special.
We hope that both the original team and the moderation will continue to be part of this journey with us. Your insights and experience are invaluable, and we look forward to working together to keep MySensors thriving and evolving.
Our goal is to preserve and grow this platform, ensuring it remains a place where enthusiasts can continue to learn, experiment, and collaborate without compromise. If you have any suggestions or ideas, we’d love to hear them!
Long live MySensors! 🚀

I'd also like to state my thanks for keeping this site and all it's resources up. I visit here weekly to help me build and continue on my projects on my own single-man company. I hope to one day be able to contribute back to MySensors instead of just making a living out of it!

Yes, I hope this will be the best solution. It woud be a pity to see all the collected information on the web/forum got lost. The waybackmachine is not the best option.

@Shirkit I agree. I have a lot of unifinished projects. Most of them still on breadboards. But as we will do a big reno on the house I need to finish them. Pretty sure I wouldn't be able to figure out how they worked if I store them in boxes during the reno. I have some light projects, A garden controller just an improved version of what was posted many years ago. And some more generic things that are probably not interesting to most people. And I also have a hub node the allows you to use cheap rf modules from AliExpress to control rooms very easy. I transformed a for channel remote module to a 15 button remote.
Without this site I wouldn't be able to keep making MySensors stuff

I hope the project won't be buried due to the fact that the protocol is the basis of nippy devices (https://nippysmart.com/) I also hope that the development of mysensors won't be directed in 2 directions - one commercial only for nippy - the other for all the rest, which could result in the two versions diverging so much that they will be incompatible and the second one will simply be buried.

Thank you @CodeGarage , you really thrive !
As for the suggestions, i would say most important point would be to look at the project code base.
I guess the development branch has quiet evolved since the 2.3.2 release.Next would be to sort the features and decide a roadmap for mysensors because the project can live only if it evolves
Long live MySensors!

@hlehoux As I understand the limitation of the packet size is by the NRF radio. Maybe stop supporting NRF, so that we can get a bit bigger packet size. That would help my current project where I'm using MySensors as a transport layer. I know that is easier with wifi. But I want to use mysensors.
Never mind: If I hexify everything, I can squeeze in all I need so far.

@TheoL I wish nRF will be supported for longer time. Maybe just be free to specify the payload lenght instead ?
But I am with you on wishing for MySensors protocol over wifi with extendable lenght.
@fsgraz As an alternative to MySensors using the nRF24 radio, look at the work that tmrh20 has done. I have used this code and found it works well enough. It's lower level than MySensors. I haven't tried to connect it to Home Assistant, but I think a determined person could make this happen.
I would say it doesn't have the support that MySensors ha,s being only one person, but there isn't much support here anymore. :(
