Information on steps for going back to original INetBox #73

Hey, thank you for sharing this project.

I was searching for something like this, and hoping to learn what the process would be like to install and uninstall/rollback if I needed to. I was looking for two pieces of information. I believe I actually have answers for the both of these, but I wanted to confirm with you (and perhaps we can add them to the README).

Why must I disconnect the original INetBox?

I assume this is because on LIN you can only have one commander and many responders (prev. master and slaves), with the INetBox or this project acting as the one commander.

What are the steps to remove this project and go back to using the INetBox?

I assume it's a case of wiring back up the INetBox and running a reset on the control panel.

I haven't tried this project out yet, so I am very much speculating here 😄

1st question: Your answer is the correct assumption. The INetBox reacts to the CPplus commands. If there were 2 in the system, there would be problems 2nd question: Your assumption is also correct. You can reactivate your Inetbox at any time with a RESET, but believe me, you don't want to once you have enjoyed the benefits.
