Redocly vs Tasmota: at a glance
What is Redocly?
Redocly makes its docs agent opt-out, and breaks configs that still use enabled.
Redocly shipped four platform builds and a config release on November 3. Config 0.71.0 replaces enabled with disabled across platform.agent, so every listed duty runs unless switched off and old configs fail validation. Platform builds redesigned deployment lint reports around APIs whose results changed, added Format Document for YAML, and fixed Webview reloads and CLI sign-in for users without an organization.
What is Tasmota?
Tasmota 16 adds optional MQTT 5.0 and DALI-2 commissioning for lighting control.
v16.0.0 Theo landed in mid-October. It adds optional MQTT 5.0 focused on request and response, initial ESP32-S31 and ESP32-C61 support, and DALI-2 device commissioning, input events and push-button bindings. HVAC work is also heavy, with a MiELHVAC web panel, Modbus RTU slave and Home Assistant discovery.

Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly makes its docs agent opt-out, and breaks configs that still use enabled.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped four platform builds and a config release on November 3. Config 0.71.0 replaces enabled with disabled across platform.agent, so every listed duty runs unless switched off and old configs fail validation. Platform builds redesigned deployment lint reports around APIs whose results changed, added Format Document for YAML, and fixed Webview reloads and CLI sign-in for users without an organization.
◆ Where it's heading
After the reunite-to-platform rename, Redocly is reshaping config around the agent and making it the default. Around that, daily builds polish the editor and the lint workflow that governs API quality.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-up platform builds that handle the enabled-to-disabled config change and more agent duty settings in the next config release.
Tasmota
2.5INFRA · APIS
Tasmota 16 adds optional MQTT 5.0 and DALI-2 commissioning for lighting control.
◆ Current state
v16.0.0 Theo landed in mid-October. It adds optional MQTT 5.0 focused on request and response, initial ESP32-S31 and ESP32-C61 support, and DALI-2 device commissioning, input events and push-button bindings. HVAC work is also heavy, with a MiELHVAC web panel, Modbus RTU slave and Home Assistant discovery.
◆ Where it's heading
The major number doesn't change the release's character: breadth remains the product. Two threads stand out from the driver list. Building-automation protocols are getting deeper support, with DALI-2, Modbus and OpenTherm's second heating circuit, and MQTT 5.0 updates the core messaging layer for the first time in these entries.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next release in about two months with further DALI-2 and Berry work, and fuller ESP32-S31 support, since the current support is labeled initial.
