### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2021-10-18*

Tridonic pulled the plug on the cloud service that it used to connect to.  ConnectDimLite was a simple Dali interface for endusers - it needs to be replaced with a simple self contained app, because Connecdim Architect is a full blown configuration tool, not the easy to use tool ConnecDimLite was.
