[mh] Where next with MisterHouse

There has been quite a bit of activity recently on the Forum and I was 
wondering if we should plan what to do next.

Here are some questions that you may have views on;

Should we do another major release of what's currently in Master?

Do we need a new web UI?

How do we get more people to use and contribute to MisterHouse?

Is there anything we should deprecate or provide with a health warning?  
Going through the docs and ./lib files, there are a lot of modules for 
redundant kit which is unlikely to be developed further (or even fixed) 
and is often not documented fully.

There has been a big change recently with cheap bi-directional Wi-Fi 
devices and MisterHouse wasn't really created with this in mind, notably 
we don't have a defined feedback mechanism to check that when we change 
an item state this actually happens and we don't have a defined way of 
having an item with multiple states (perhaps we should encourage JSON 
for this), or multiple triggers (mqtt poses this question). I believe 
the industry is moving further in this direction, Tasmota wont be the 
last and only solution, so this begs the question;

Do we need some architecture changes to support bi-directional devices 
with feedback?

If you have views/suggestions, please respond to this thread, if it gets 
too cumbersome, I'll split it onto a number of individual threads.

Stay safe

Giles
