What is Redocly?

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

What is Tasmota?

Tasmota's treadmill keeps turning: BTHome, a Matter thermostat and another Shelly emulation

v15.6.0 Sylvie continues the two-monthly release rhythm and is another breadth release. BLE BTHome support arrives in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation is added for ESP32, and Matter picks up a virtual IR HVAC thermostat. Around them sit the usual mix: TLS support for the EC P-384 curve, a configurable MagicSwitch masking window that fixes false triggering, extra ESP-Now remote buttons, and Berry and HASPmota additions including an LVGL stripes widget.

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.

◆ Current state

Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

◆ Where it's heading

Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.

◆ Prediction

Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.

Tasmota's treadmill keeps turning: BTHome, a Matter thermostat and another Shelly emulation

◆ Current state

v15.6.0 Sylvie continues the two-monthly release rhythm and is another breadth release. BLE BTHome support arrives in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation is added for ESP32, and Matter picks up a virtual IR HVAC thermostat. Around them sit the usual mix: TLS support for the EC P-384 curve, a configurable MagicSwitch masking window that fixes false triggering, extra ESP-Now remote buttons, and Berry and HASPmota additions including an LVGL stripes widget.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is breadth, not depth — Tasmota's value is that whatever ESP-based device someone buys, a driver already exists, and each release extends that claim into another protocol or another vendor's hardware. Two threads are worth separating from the driver churn: the Matter surface keeps gaining virtual device types, which lets Tasmota present non-Matter hardware to a Matter controller, and the emulation work does the same trick for Shelly's ecosystem. Both are about interoperability with the platforms users already run rather than new firmware capability.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release in roughly two months carrying another batch of sensor drivers, and Matter virtual device types to keep expanding — thermostats now, most likely more climate and sensor profiles next. New Espressif silicon continues to be picked up within a release or two of availability.
