Hi Jermone and thanks for your input! Understood. We have looked at HMM in the past and long term I definitely would like to consider how we can add P2P functionality to HMM for both DEVICE_PRIVATE and DEVICE_PUBLIC so we can pass addressable and non-addressable blocks of data between devices. However that is well beyond the intentions of this series ;-).
