I would have gotten that when I bought the stuff, but it isnt on your site for purchase that I can see. Is it a special order?

OK. I got one, got it paired, figured out which one was outgoing serial, and am ready to send new code to the unit. So you say it doesn't drop the relay box outlets except for a brief smidge when it reboots?

That's correct.
I don't even recall mine dropping at all.

The relays will stay in their existing state while its loading and rebooting. The only blip you'll get is the difference between your current state, state of your setup and loop() configurations

Bluetooth worked perfectly!

I didnt notice any blip at all when loading new code. Head unit is in the basement on a wall and bluetooth is upstairs and 20 feet away, and had no problems. It loaded slower than cable. Maybe because I had default of 9600 baud or something?

Anyway, this thing removes the one big limitation for me to this device. I think it should get more prominent exposure on the site because it is so useful.
