[RE-wrenches] Phased out Schneider Electric SCP

[Chris Sparadeo]

I don’t like the idea of a system being dependent on the functionality of
the insight home/facility or the battery life of a smart device / AC output
of the inverter to be able to change settings. As limited as the SCP is, I
think it serves a very important function in system operation. I’m all for
removing unnecessary components, but don’t paint the windshield black.
Schneider should offer a Xanbus tablet if this is the route they want to
go.
