[RE-wrenches] Phased out Schneider Electric SCP

Tue Apr 4 10:08:58 PDT 2023

Saying this again, you all should tell Schneider this.

BTW, a tablet can wifi station mode connect to a non internet installed 
"conext home" with a saved password. It also can be set-up as a "user" 
and no password is required. Neither of these require wifi at the home. 
It is all in the 3 ways to install conext home or facility for 
configuration.

Maybe this is what Eric Bentsen was telling Glen?
