I realize the things that can be done with the WM100 X10 wise are limited but why not push the wi-fi chip to its limit. Showing that the user base here can do just a good of job as the factory's developer may help Authinx see they are wasting good money better spent on other devices and may even spur them to find another better manufacture.

That sounds like a stand down for now.  That's fine with me.  I spent the day creating a layout for an electronic E Unit.  It's more fun to work on that stuff anyway.

If Authinx hasn't figured that out by now then they aren't reading this forum and are truly out of touch.

No ! I'm not suggesting a stand down of any sort.
Nor even A slow down.
Anything better then the Wm100 is progress.

I was referring to my work marrying together a Wemos mini with the XTB-232 motherboard.  My expertise is not in WiFi, so somebody else has to carry the WM100 baton.  I'll be pretty busy now until next spring anyway.

I don't think Authinx would be interested in producing any Wi-Fi module prototype we can come up with B:(
Their current troubles with the factory and developer have left a bad taste for producing any new modules. Also this they see is a device for power users, which they say there is no market for. :o

That may be why the little module I designed that allows LED lights to work on 2-wire dimmer switches appears to have died on the vine.

There definitely is a communication problem between the factory and Authinx which is frustrating the Owner to no end.

I'd follow up with Authinx to see if they have any word on your little module. It may have just been put on the back burner with the WM100 issues dragging on.
