Volunteer to take over project

Open scottyphillips opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

Hi Everyone,

While it has been amazing to have created this custom component, and everyone who uses it has always taken the time to say thanks (you are all welcome!) I am finding these days I do not have enough time to spend on it especially since it is well beyond my own modest needs these days. I have a couple of young kids now and most of my free time now goes into them (which is not a problem!)

At this stage, I will no longer be actively working on troubleshooting this custom component and will accept volunteers who would be interested in taking over this project. If people want to conduct their own troubleshooting I will respond to PRs as I always do.

Thanks very much everyone.

Scott

@scottyphillips Thank you for developing such a great component.

I can help as much as I can. However, I only have his ECHONET Lite device, which is a water heater, and it is difficult to accurately support other devices.

It is possible to make guesses while reading the specifications, but since I recently met with Python, it is a heavy burden to lead the project, but I would be happy if you could add me as a joint developer.

That’s the problem I am finding it is difficult to find the time to support all these new components. Having said that I have added you to the repo as a contributor as well as a co-owner on pypi for the pychonet component so thank you so much for volunteering!!! 🙏

Yes, thank you very much! 👍

I'm still around and happy to help more, I normally leave git notifications in my inbox to follow up but you normally get to them first :) I won't be the fastest due to day job commitments but i'm happy to try take a more active job sharing the load.

Edit: and thanks for your work over the years!

I wish I were in a position to contribute, but I truly appreciate all of the effort you and everybody have put into this project. It's been a huge help for my home!

@scottyphillips I am very interesting about this project. Maybe i can help manage this project together. And I also have some device with echolitenet. Like solar power, battery water heating.

I realise this may be a slightly odd place to ask but for a while I've been wondering about the considerations/implications of adding community built addins into the home-assistant release... Is there a reason to not add this as a bundled and certified integration? It seems the echonet protocol is in quite a number of devices so it may get a bit more development attention there...?

I’ve toyed with the idea on and off for a while, it was always designed with a seperate API library for that very reason, and I even have updated the code recently to more closely align with home assistants design requirements (linting with black)

The individual components within Home Assistant still have individual maintainers and issues are automatically assigned to that particular maintainer. So it’s likely from my point of view as the maintainer, the situation wouldn’t change much.

But if @nao-pon wanted to take it over and move it to HA then I would fully support that!
