Cliff just found some other bulbs based on ESP8266, in this case are not intended to be reprogrammed because there are no RX,TX and GPIO0 exposed. Also in this case, the ESP8266 is on a dedicated PCB as addon.

@tbowmo Sure, but be able to clone an IC means that they have a structure and manufacturing equipments, I guess they can found better way to get income. Dario.

@plinioseniore The nodes send one or more presentation messages (usually at startup) . It is up to the controller to use these as a hint on how to present the sensor/actuator information at a later stage. The serial protocol doesn't specify how the messages should get delivered to the final destination. It is possible to ask for an ack message though.

@scalz I did the same, trying to decide between the two! It is true, I had mysensors working and a smile on my face within 20 mins of finding the website, including building the hardware on breadboard, so great!! With Souliss I am still reading and learning! Only have simple implementations so far. One thing I do like is the wireless local logic abilities, like you say, distributed gateways. I suppose with everything considered you are correct, souliss is far more involved a platform, in general but also from the end user side. I also find on the nodes I have experimented with, it is more memory intensive, but that might be my terrible implementation !! Either way, these platforms are just amazing in their own rights, I dreamed of exactly what they offer a few years back and my studies and research always got in the way, but now its time to play! As @scalz says, I really admire what both developments have produced, just great engineering !!
