[RE-wrenches] Phased out Schneider Electric SCP

[Michael Morningstar]

Yah, What the heck? The XW Pro/Discover AES pairing makes up 2/3s of our
installs. Right now I have a client who's Insight Home is glitching and
drops out his smartphone connection. Without the SCP He'd be in the dark. I
just purchased an SCP off of Ebay for 700.00 for a system we are building
for a retiree who uses a flip-phone and doesn't use the internet. Him
having to login in to Insight on a tablet every time he wants to see SOC
would be laughable.
