Thanks for pointing that out, my mistake. Unfortunately, I can only edit the title, not the link

I felt pretty bad about it, but my curiosity took over :) It was only the power for their Energy Manager though, not the power to the entire apartment!

In any case, I doubt they were actually using this Energy Manager thing anyway. The number one feature listed on websites selling these things is "Earn two code credits under the code for sustainable homes". I assume you do not need to teach people how to use the thing to earn these credits...

He did! :) It was located in the `/srv/server/bin/cfg` file.

I also assumed that they would, but weirdly no. When the tablet booted up, I was greeted with stock launcher.

Also, WebView is only part of the app, they used something else (which did not look like Android native UI) for the WiFi network picker.

Yes! I started taking some notes when I was halfway through, that helped a lot with the thought reconstruction. There is no chance I would find these TCF links organically again
