  1. Thanks a lot for the first issue here :+1:
  2. I created new Milestone 0.1.0 and you can estimate when it will be released
  3. Which type of platforms(boards, MCUs...) do you have?

I don't have any right now. But I used to play with M68HC11 (and one Pico Controller which I don't remember anymore). about 15 yrs ago and I do miss it. But if you're getting started can recommend a good starting device to play with, that would be great :)

First of all, you should describe me how do you want to interact with you device. Wired or Wireless? It should be STRICT Embedded board (like TI Launchpads) or mini-computer (like BeagleBone Black or Raspberry Pi ) ?

Secondly, don't forget that you can extend your low-cost MCU board (Arduino-based and etc) with different RF chips (please google on eBay these: RFM69W or nRF24L01).

Lastly, I prefer TI. I don't know why? Maybe I love it :) TI makes crazy dev-boards with excellent peripherals for several $ :) If you interested in:

P.S: I like Wired way :) Because I have CAN bus with several CAN-based MCUs in my home :) But I'm not sure that this is a good idea to start from the CAN.
