Yes, it's based on the same core software as my other clocks. I provide the source, although not technically "open source".. it's on my website for anyone to look at. There is a link to the source (and compiled binaries) under "ESP32 Firmware" at the following link. I've been on 0.92 BETA2 for a long time and I would consider it release quality. It's easy to recompile once you setup the correct Arduino environment with the proper libraries (listed at the beginning of the code).
