Thank you Dimitar.
Just wanted to explain my and some other comments. Please understand we are very big fans of Shelly devices. Most of us invested a lot of time and money into the product. I am an IT/Software engineer with more than 10 years experience in home automation working with about 20-30 different brands constantly. So far Shelly was my favorite mainly because of:
1. Using open standards/protocols
2. All functionality is available locally, no cloud activation/management is required.
3. Following normal/best practices in software industry regarding documentation, change/release notes
I understand WD is obviously more complicated product than just switch and may require a different approach but if so it was probably a good idea to advertise it under a separate brand.
For now I personally see:
1. Using unpatched Android 7 as a base. (very outdated, insecure)
2. Not sharing source code as suppose to by GPL license. So basically breaching the licensing
3. Not following all other products regarding release/change notes practice.
4. As was pointed before (may be fixed in the latest firmware release btw) some functionality was relying on the product to be registered/activated in the cloud.
Its just so different from the previous company approach about openness and connection with customer base it makes me and seems some other your customers to worry. Hope you understand.
