Does anyone have experience with the new X10 WiFi hub WM100 (https://www.x1
0.com/wm100.html)?
Besides general impressions, I am particularly interested in knowing whethe
r it needs connection to a remote server. (The description claims you can c
ontrol devices from your phone "anywhere you have internet access," but the
product manual does not describe setting up an account anywhere.)
I would also like to know whether it has an API that would allow programmin
g from elsewhere than the phone app.

First, the phone app communicates with a dedicated server in the cloud (onc
e the WM100 and your app are configured properly). The Server then communic
ates with the WM100.
Second, as of now the API is not published so if the server goes down your
WM100 will continue to operate as scheduled, but you will not be able to is
sue changes or commands. A power failure will then wipe out the existing c
onfiguration until the server comes back up and you reconnect with your app
