-The goal of this little project is to provide open-source API for low-cost USB HID relays 
+This project provides open-source API for low-cost USB HID relays 
 (search on eBay for "5V USB Relay Programmable Computer Control For Smart Home").
 
 The big advantage of HID-based interface is that no kernel drivers and no simulated COM-ports are needed. It is easy to detect and address the connected devices.
+Ebay vendors currently offer only an API library for Windows, and only in binary form.
 
-The main project web page is on the [V-USB wiki](http://vusb.wikidot.com/project:driver-less-usb-relays-hid-interface "driver-less-usb-relays-hid-interface"). This is because the firmware of the device is based on [V-USB](http://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/index.html). V-USB enables amazingly simple and low-cost USB hardware solutions.  
-This repository contains only the host side software.
+We are not associated with the manufacturer(s) of these devices or author(s) of the original software offered by ebay sellers.
