What is Tasmota?

Tasmota's treadmill keeps turning: BTHome, a Matter thermostat and another Shelly emulation

v15.6.0 Sylvie continues the two-monthly release rhythm and is another breadth release. BLE BTHome support arrives in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation is added for ESP32, and Matter picks up a virtual IR HVAC thermostat. Around them sit the usual mix: TLS support for the EC P-384 curve, a configurable MagicSwitch masking window that fixes false triggering, extra ESP-Now remote buttons, and Berry and HASPmota additions including an LVGL stripes widget.

What is Warp?

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

Tasmota's treadmill keeps turning: BTHome, a Matter thermostat and another Shelly emulation

◆ Current state

v15.6.0 Sylvie continues the two-monthly release rhythm and is another breadth release. BLE BTHome support arrives in the bluetooth binary, Shelly Pro 2PM emulation is added for ESP32, and Matter picks up a virtual IR HVAC thermostat. Around them sit the usual mix: TLS support for the EC P-384 curve, a configurable MagicSwitch masking window that fixes false triggering, extra ESP-Now remote buttons, and Berry and HASPmota additions including an LVGL stripes widget.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is breadth, not depth — Tasmota's value is that whatever ESP-based device someone buys, a driver already exists, and each release extends that claim into another protocol or another vendor's hardware. Two threads are worth separating from the driver churn: the Matter surface keeps gaining virtual device types, which lets Tasmota present non-Matter hardware to a Matter controller, and the emulation work does the same trick for Shelly's ecosystem. Both are about interoperability with the platforms users already run rather than new firmware capability.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next release in roughly two months carrying another batch of sensor drivers, and Matter virtual device types to keep expanding — thermostats now, most likely more climate and sensor profiles next. New Espressif silicon continues to be picked up within a release or two of availability.

Warp pivoted from terminal app to cloud software factory infrastructure, and just launched the benchmarking tool that makes it self-improving.

◆ Current state

Warp has repositioned itself entirely around cloud software factories — automated SDLC loops driven by coding agents (triage, spec, implement, review, verify, ship, monitor). The two concrete products are Warp Factories (open, code-defined infrastructure for running these loops in the cloud) and the Warp Agent CLI (a standalone coding agent that works in any terminal, not just the Warp app). Factory Benchmarks, just launched, lets teams measure model and skill configurations against their own private codebase rather than synthetic benchmarks.

◆ Where it's heading

The sequence is deliberate: launch Factories as the infrastructure layer, launch the Agent CLI as the execution unit, then ship Benchmarks as the feedback mechanism that closes the improvement loop. The 'crawl, walk, run' adoption framing suggests Warp is in active go-to-market mode — the guides and thought-leadership posts are sales motion, not product changes. The next gap to fill is deeper observability into what the factory is actually doing at each stage.

◆ Prediction

The next concrete product move will likely be scheduling or orchestration tooling within Factories — the benchmarks surface tells you which configuration is best, but there's no way yet to trigger factory runs on a schedule or in response to events without re-configuring manually. CI trigger integration is the obvious next step.
