Make exposed HomieNodes configurable on a per-device basis? about homie-esp8266 HOT 2 CLOSED

By "portable", I mean a single firmware could be used by different people for their own same-hardware device. I did not think about what you're talking about here.

The idea is interesting, for an actuator (like a relay), the input handler would never be triggered, great. But for a sensor reporting values on a regular-basis, you would need to check in your own code if the node is enabled before sending a value.

It seems rather complicated to do. We need to focus on the stability of the framework, as you can see, adding a simple feature like the base_topic introduced a lot of heap issues. I won't close this, just in case, but I am not sure I will implement it. I am not comfortable with the idea of an all-in-one firmware. For my devices, I prefer a single purpose optimized firmware.

Fair points, and you're probably right, of course.
I'll close this proactively now.
