Show HN: Relay – 2.8“ color LCD Wifi IoT displays

It’s a shame this has been overshadowed by the WWDC. I’ve been looking for something like this to provide a dashboard for an RPi or some other server.

I do have a few questions:

1. How do you interface with it? Is it exclusively via Wi-Fi? What about serial?

2. Does the network interface use SSL or some other form of security and/or authentication?

3. It looks like relay is controlled by pinging a server you control. Is there any way around this? Suppose I don’t want this device on the web.

EDIT: Formatting and added third question
