Yeah, calling home is not what I want but is kind of what I expect from free apps/software/etc. I much prefer the idea of operating within my local lan.

I checked out espeasy as an alternative to tasmota, the flashing seems a lot simpler for espeasy but tasmota mostly has my attention out of all choices.

I'm also pleased to read that the switch can be used with Jolla, this was key really to me going ahead and flashing. Looks like it was a good idea to ask, the more info the better. As some of you know, I've learned a little about writing code, but will no doubt be asking questions to those with experience.

I best get flashing then!, .....oo-er missus!
