Intent to Fork Project

[tekmaven]

Hello @jonathanadams,

Thank you for all your effort on this great resource to the ESPHome community!

I wanted to start an issue on this repo to about forking this project. ESPHome is moving at a very fast pace and it's my goal to open the project up to a larger set of maintainers who can more actively manage this great resource. I have been discussing with the ESPHome community on Discord and to start, we would really like to create a new github org for this project, so we can invite a group of moderators to more actively maintain the content.

I would love to see a more active place where we can share our config templates for all the ESPHome enabled devices out there. My current workflow is looking up the Tasmota template and translate it into an ESPHome yaml.

For a new version of a template library I would appreciate if all the standard settings (wifi, AP, logger, ...) would be kept out as everyone has their custom prefences on that. A few best practice templates would be helpful, but that should be a separate section. Only the essential settings for a device (board, sensors, switches) should be part of the template.

I have created a new fork of this project called esphome-devices in an independent github org dedicated to the project, located here: https://github.com/esphome-devices/esphome-devices. I have also setup the domain+hosting at https://www.esphome-devices.com/.

I will be actively rebranding that to avoid confusion. Until then please submit PRs and issues to that repo and I will try to get this awesome resource more actively updated.

I am inviting all members of the ESPHome community to help moderate content. If you are interested, please let me know here, or directly on the esphome discord! Thank you!
