Have you written to Father Christmas (AKA @Pavlo) and told him what youâd like this year?
Have you been a good boy?

I got tired of waiting and migrated to Home Assistant with ESPhome. It really couldnât have been easier.

I wasnât familiar with HA till I read your note. It took me few hours to read up, install Hassio on my running rpi (manual install, did not burn a new OS on a SD) and get an ESP32 to display info on the Dashboard.
It looks good but itâs hardly for new starters; rather complex Iâd say.
So, in my humble opinion, HA is not an easy replacement for Blynk.
Happy Holidays

For sure, but we are still waiting for the new platform , J-3 
AFAIK, Blynk is for prototyping your app and finally publishing and managing server side and updates for some hardware you make⌠for home automation, i would advise you to try OpenHab⌠better interface, prob much more addons, very powerful platform, and you can add your Blynk machines via mqtt⌠HA looks mehâŚ

HA is definitely more complicated than Blynk but it is also significantly more powerful. I burned Hass.io onto a
blank SD card and then used add-ons manager to install ESPEasy. Itâs definitely not as easy as Blynk but it was the easiest way I found to get HA up and running.
Agreed. I tried OpenHab but struggled to wrap my head around it, HA seemed to be significantly more newb friendly.

I tried OpenHab tooâŚ
I tried HA too âŚ
I got a headache 
But, since we have no news from the Blynk developers, I will decide on 1st of 2020 what I will choose.

leave well alone
i dont want to be pretentious here, but we should all be aware that its holidays, so you know, Pavel and others are probably spending their time with family and friends, and if they have a problem with new blynk, i dont think they are rushing to fix it, we should all be greateful and patient with the new release⌠they gave us amazing platform (nothing like this in the whole wide world), they will do their part, just have some patienceâŚ
The problem is that we donât have any information since 1st of May , date of the announcement 
And the old platform, is now obsolete compare to others.
So what can we do? wait and wait? move alone?
Sorry all for the silence. We were super busy with deliveries for our clients.
Here is the latest news:
- New version is 80% ready
- There are already real users using it every day. So we can say it is ready
- There are few things that block us from the launch - Billing and Theme/Styling. We havenât start work on it yet. However, we can launch Beta without Billing, but Theme must be done for sure. It will take at least 1 month
- We will try to run the Beta ASAP after we have the Theme, even we currently have a lot of the development going on for our existing clients
Thanks for the patience 
, I know it is hard.

Thanks for the update. 
âAlways late but worth the waitâ 
Hi @Dmitriy. You know that Iâm a great fan of Blynk, but I have to say that the communication from you guys about Blynk 2.0 has been very poor.
On 13th June @Pavlo sent an email that saidâŚ
Itâs almost ready for the first Beta users, but we need some time to go through the documentation and onboarding materials. We are working full speed on that. Sorry for keeping you waiting.
Thatâs the last email weâve seen on the subject.
In August you saidâŚ
5 days ago, in response to a suggestion to add calculations within the app you saidâŚ
Which prompted a request for information about the other features that will be included in the new version, but that prompted a reply that the documentation wasnât released yet.
I appreciate that you guys are busy, and that paying customers have to take priority. But, I think you were right with what you said in August - users of the free version of Blynk ought to be able to get details of the new features that have been implemented in the new version.
If I was a potential business customer and I saw frequent âitâs almost ready, it will be here soonâ comments on this forum then I wouldnât be impressed. Iâd regard that sort of research as my âdue diligenceâ process and to be honest it would probably turn me away from the company, or at the very least it would make me very cautious about progressing without cast iron guarantees and penalty clauses.
If Blynk staff took a different approach, with regular updates about features that had been implemented and things that were in the pipeline, along with reasons for delays or changes in direction, then I think youâd come across as being much more believable. At the same time youâd be whetting the appetite and piquing the interest of existing free users.
It sounds like youâre at the point where a list of features could be published, so why not do that?
Pete.

Agree. In a recent half a year - every sprint for our team was a deadline for the new and new features.
It sounds like youâre at the point where a list of features could be published, so why not do that?
We havenât even started a documentation 
. This is all we have at the moment - https://github.com/blynkkk/blynkkk.github.io/tree/master/new/en.
But idea is good, it shouldnât take much time. Iâll try to make a basic list.
