It’s really a shame to put so much effort into having a good gateway at a very competitive price and to be blocked by software configurations. It would be nice to provide a new version of the OS with choices regarding data usage. For example, deactivating the check for updates at regular intervals, deactivating the link with the sensecap portal, etc.
Or provide a community version of the OS to allow the customer to customize the OS.
I hope I don’t have to make the same decision as you.
