Hi,

tried to find working Arduino code - but couldn?t. Neither in iotivity nor in 
iotivity-constrained.
Removing the broken one from iotivity means that we remove a feature - is this 
correct?
We change a once exitisng feature into a marketing promisse.
Just doing the summary here, please corect me if I?m wrong :-)
