Wow, thanks for that. I will have to try this. It is annoying that it is hidden under the Bluetooth breadcrumbs.
The saluspa from "bestway" demands your location before allowing you to setup wifi remote control of the portable hot tub on the android app. I wonder how on android I can spoof the location used by an app, or if anyone figured out if you can control it without the app. I set it up away from my house and use a separate wifi network but it pissed me off.
I tried to use Fanduel last night to place some bets for my friend in prison. It requires your location. You have to install some horrible app that installs a Windows Service and has no UI. It still won't work. After a lot of digging around, I discovered you cannot use Fanduel if you have a wired device. The app _requires_ you to connect to your router by Wifi or it will not work. WTF.
