Finally able to use multi X10WM100s on one device.
« on: November 26, 2024, 01:14:13 PM »

I have a WM100 at my city place as well as my off grid place  for several years I had the app in stalled on my phone with the off grid place configured. On my wife's phone I had the app configured for the city WM100.
I wanted to be able to control both devices from my phone from one location without reconfiguring the app each time.
 Today I attempted this again using a couple different cloning apps. Some were so full of advertisements they were impossible to try to even test. I found 2Accounts on Google play  and NO ADDS  :)%( not sure if it is available for Apple devices).
It creates a clone of the app which you can rename, place a short cut on your home screen, and configure to connect to an existing hub.
 2Accounts must stay installed on your phone or tablet but  you never need to open it again unless you wish to clone another app.
 I suspect if you wished more clones of the wifi app you'd need to subscribe. >!

Looks like I was wrong about the no adds :-[ :'( today an add pops up while loading the copy of x10 wifi :( I won't  subscribe to this as the price is unreasonable in my opinion.
Many new apps unfortunately have gone the subscription route ::) :'
I have found one that has a buy price but setting it up with all the popular adds is a real pain. It works on my old phone but not my new tablet :(
I'll test on my phone over the next few days and post updates. >!

I spent a good bit of time playing with several cloning apps for the X10 WiFi  app. If you only need to use 2 WM100s the opions are endless. If you wish to use more then 2 you need to purchase a subscription  which can be ridiculously priced.  How ever if you don't mind an add or 2 poping up prior to the WM100 app loading there are a couple that offer this and are simple to setup sadly these don't offer away to subscribe  to remove adds :(
 The one I like is MultiSpace is one that works both on my old phone and my new tablet. So far the pop ups have been quick and easy to close. This also can create desktop shortcuts so you don't need to open Multispace first.
Your original app is your first wm100  the clones start a new x10wifi app which opens with the configuration screen so you can connect to an existing hub so you need to be able to scan the WM100 QR CODE.

All the clone apps add a small icon to the bottom of the clone icon in addition to renaming to help identify it as a clone of the original when placed on the desk top. Several i noticed used the same or simular identification icon.

As I mention before I found one of these cloning apps with a buy option and I did purchase it.  It is in early development so that may be why the option for a lifetime subscription (buy) option exists. I tested this on my phone and although it does eliminate pop up adds when opening the clone short cut some still appear in the clone tool app itself :( hopefully this will change with newer releases). This app is rather hard to find on the Google play store even knowing the name Dual App Lite - Multiple Space by Think Tech App Studios. It appears it currently can only make one copy of the X10 WiFi app but that's all I need. Info on this app says it was first release in 2019 (not sure why it is still clased as an early release) but latest release was August 29th 2024. Think it is geared more towards social media & game apps.  :-\ >! To aid in finding this particular app here's  the link

With today's new release of a new version(2.0.19)of the app I attempted to reinstall and clone the X10Wifi app on my  Tablet. (S9 fe) and my wife's samsung s24 fe. Sadly these x10wifi clone made from Dual App Lite wouldn't  work B:( :(
Luckily it still works on my samsung s8+.  >!
