Request for contribution - controller selection matrix
-
During the last year I've invested my spare time in re-designing and re-architecting my old Home Automation project called myHouse which was also acting as a MySensors controller (https://www.mysensors.org/controller/myhouse). Now, I've given the project a brand new name (eGeoffrey - https://www.egeoffrey.com) and despite the basic principles are the same (likewise MySensors support), now is supposed to be way simpler to configure, use, customize and extend. Before doing any change, @AWI is it the correct approach if I delete the existing myHouse entry from the controller section, add a new one for eGeoffrey (since it is replacing it) and do the same with the column of the matrix? (do I need any special permission for editing the spreadsheet?) Thanks!

@mfalkvidd, I think he doesn't have permissions to update the mysensors.org page.
UPDATE: Hmm, I now see it's owned by user2684... so I guess he CAN update it using the login on openhardware.io.@user2684, just PM or email me new screenshots and textual changes on hek@mysensors.org and I'll update the page. -
Thanks all, yes I do have privileges to edit pages. Will work on it and when ready publish directly the changes. Should I face any issue in the process I'll get back here. Thanks again!

Done it! (https://www.mysensors.org/controller/egeoffrey). I've already removed the legacy myHouse project and updated the spreadsheet. If there is anything wrong in the changes, just let me know. Do I also need to create a subcategory under https://forum.mysensors.org/category/3/controllers? Thanks!

@hek thanks! It took us way more than expected to re-architect all the thing but now that is ready, happy with the result so your positive feedback is appreciated :-) Legacy myHouse issue was mainly around extensibility hence this distributed, plugin-based architecture allowing users to package functionalities and/or contents without me doing any change in the core code. And turning it in a cloud-based service (as an option) could be also really easy. But for now the hope is to build a little community around it so to make it evolve further. Just as a starting point :-)
