Hi Valentin, great video!

Apologies I haven't looked at the technical stuff yet (so may be an obvious question), but I was wondering:

Are the "API"s (what an object can be programmed to do) for the devices/objects (eg the switches) accessible locally?

As in is there enough embedded within the QR-like code to understand the API (or at least connect to the device, and it can "tell me more") or will it require cloud-based interaction?

Example case: if I'm in a room I've never been to before, no internet connection, and see a switch - would Instill be able to reprogram it then and there? Or do you see the (I)nternet of IOT as necessary?
