I keep hounding the owner about releasing the protocol.
I believe the manufacture wishes to hold on to it as a sercuity blanket.

My impression all along has been that they are held hostage by the same manufacturer that worked with X10WTI.

Worked with and not for, is the key.
It is my impression this project was a joint effort with both parties sharing the cost of development .

but if Authinx wants to go head-to-head with the current crop of HA brands they need to step up their game.

Amen.
Releasing source code would open up flood gates of hardware sales.

[HA Dave]

I assume the manufacturer produces the WM100 to order and spec of the owner, including hardware and firmware. Would I be correct in assuming that. If that assumption was correct what hold could the manufacturer possibly have over the owner Authnix.

Surely Authinx could shift production to any location of their choice in the event of manufacturing or logistics difficulties. It would be a silly manufacturer to place all their eggs in one basket in this ever volatile world we live in.

I am pretty sure the Chinese expect more of a "partnership"... but with them having the more favorable position.

Any news on when we might see an update?

[VinRin57]

Greetings all! Has anyone heard anything regarding an app update? Unit is still being advertised and promoted, including dusk/dawn timer and yet we all know it's an issue? 

[Tuicemen]

I've been testing a new firmware and app which address the dusk dawn issue so it is coming.
There are some issues to work out with older OS versions verses the newer ones.
 

[VinRin57]

Thank you very much TM... I've grown to put a lot of faith in you! 

[Tuicemen]

  don't put to much faith, I may disappoint you somewhere down the road.

[Tuicemen]

I had expected to see something by now myself, as I've not been asked to test anything else new. I did request while looking at the timer issues that some extras be added to the timmer code.
I fired off an email to the owner to see if I can get something to report.

Maybe his questioning things will result in a update shortly.

[Tuicemen]

A software and firmware update should be available arround the 18th.
Apple has to approve the update before they make it available. Authinxwants to release android and apple versions at the same time to avoid confusion.
 

[VinRin57]

And of course, I tried mine yesterday, dawn/dusk- and for some reason - voila - worked!  Ok, if the update does not work, can we roll back?  Thanks TM, thanks all!

[Tuicemen]

I don't think you'll be able to roll back as the new app uses new firmware and I'm not sure if the old app is compatible with it.
However you can save a copy of the current APK and reinstall it to test.
it is possible the app will auto update to the new so a roll back may not stick.

Thanks! Let’s hope for the best!
