      I don't see why I'm required to register to use Pymate. The App is supposed to connect to my WiPy over the local WiFi, or
      am I getting something wrong? It's a neat idea, but of no use for me unless the registration requirement is removed.

        Hi @stefan,

        You register to use Pymate as each instance of Pymate connects to our MQTT server which, in turn allows you to control your WiPy over WiFi. This requires us to add a lay of authentication to stop non-Pycom devices from taking resources from the server and use it for alternative means.

        Thanks,

        Alex
