Another Fork

[oskarn97]

Hey,
we were seeing that you are also working on a fork with features, we also implemented.
If you like have a look at my fork with a different number of other features like a firmware such as an increased device limit from 20 to 48, support for battery status messages, automatic port selection, yaml config, MQTT commands and other cool stuff :)

Thanks for contacting, looks very good!

I'm currently planning to:

• Refactor the code to make adding new device much more easy.
• Provide an A-Z guide on which items to buy, how to flash the stick and provide examples on how to integrate with https://www.home-assistant.io/
• Provide Docker images
• Support friendly device names

Hi @Koenkk!

I'm also integrating with home-assistant.io, I'm running a testing version with MQTT discovery implemented into xiaomi-zb2mqtt.

I've contributed to @oskarn97 repository since at the time I forked he had the most active fork, and since another developer has also contributed.

I'm all in for your current plan and can help out although I'm not a nodejs native programmer (more python here)

We should decide wether we merge with @oskarn97 repository or start an organisation and a common repository.

[Koenkk]

I'm fine with starting an organisation.

However I first want to complete the refactoring step because this has quite an impact on the current code (to avoid merge conflicts).
