Did you take notes along the way? Usually when I am "exploring" a problem like that it's hard to reproduce my steps later.

Yes! I started taking some notes when I was halfway through, that helped a lot with the thought reconstruction. There is no chance I would find these TCF links organically again

Small bit about that Wi-Fi remark. Yes in your case it’s close to the server but Wi-Fi lets you mount the touchscreen anywhere. Wi-Fi completely makes sense here.

The equivalent energy monitoring device in my flat uses an RF link (no idea what kind, I haven't investigated further) to talk to its base station. Wireless seems fine, but WiFi itself seems like overkill.
