Hi Flykri:
I've been working a lot with Raoul offline on a couple of things pertaining to Calaos V3.
I'm new here and the learning curve for Calaos/Yocto is steep.
On the positive side however there are some exciting new upgrades that Raoul has released at least experimentally. The most important of which is the new code for the installer which now support Zigbee using the TI2531 chip. I personally haven't got mine working yet because I am in North America and we tend to use Digi corps XBee S2C modules. I've ordered my TI USB and it should be here tomorrow so I should be able to spin it up.
My personal goal is to stimulate more interest from this side of the pond in Calaos as I really thing it is much better than the other HA systems. Believe me I have tried them all and they all have major issues.
Getting ZigBee2MQTT running and be able to control Zigbee lighting will be a huge help to rekindle interest.
The other thing is I have two Zigbee controller thermostats. This seems to be one item lacking in Calaos (at least from a North American perspective). The other big item is WIFI support.
We don't use WAGO over here. It would be way to expensive to put into new homes. Hence the use of WIFI and ZigBee for control functions.
I agree with the IRC chat stuff. It tends to be for developers.
Keep posting here for now as the activity should help revive once people see some action and progress.
