I have more than 3500 contributors and counting and some of them have hubitat hub.. They reported to me the libel material in the hubitat forum.
Have a nice day too.
FYI, your code may be copyrighted but I highly doubt you've patented the method used. I highly doubt it because at quick glance it looks to be the same method used by other integrations on other platforms that came out well before yours did.
And before you mention laws of defamation, you should probably get a better grasp on how it works. And making underlying lawsuit threats is probably not the best thing to do when trying to prove that your interaction with others is very positive.
I've paid for and used your apps, I personally did not like them as they were too complicated for the average user. So for that reason I am entitled to my own personal opinion and review.

Inciting people to copy my copyright code is not really smart indeed.
My brother in law is a repute lawyer in California and, according to his expert advices (I really trust him in those matters) , the material here is excellent...
Oh noes now you've brought him here doing it.

Homebridge did it first
Ask your brother in law lawyer what he would think of taking on a lawsuit to protect "copyrighted" code using a method that was done by at least 3 others prior to you (I know of a dev on homebridge that came long before yours and at least 2 on home assistant), all of which is a backdoor method into an 800+ Billion dollar company's servers. I'm pretty sure he'd advise you against any legal action.
And please note, I suggested someone look at the method used to communicate with said company's servers and then write their own code to do it. This is not against any laws as you cannot copyright methods or ideas unless you apply for additional copyright or patent protection.

If the said method has been done three times (and it's so easy), why don't you code it yourself instead of inciting forum users to buy my code and copy the techniques used in my code?
In an earlier post, you wrote that my code is too complex, but in the same vein, you're clearly inciting people to buy my code to copy it... What a smart move...Don't you see that you contradict yourself? Copyrights are about methods, techniques & algorithms used to provide a specific solution.
If I were you, I would not pursue this discussion as clearly you're in fault. But, eh, somebody has to learn a lesson I guess...
At least, I'm providing some services to the larger community ( and I have evidence to prove it) , what services are you providing apart from defaming people who really contribute?
