    Rainforest Automation's own datasheet, obtained by Alternative Research on October 13, 2026 because every HTML page of www.rainforestautomation.com and its support site answer a 403 challenge to the standard fetcher; the PDFs under /wp-content/uploads/, which its robots.txt does not disallow, still serve; checked by Research against its printed content. Manufacturer statements, not independent tests.

    A utility's page, not the maker's: BC Hydro's statement about the Rainforest devices it used to connect to its smart meters, cited only for what it prints ("Legacy devices, no longer available" and its list of eligible devices). It is not a manufacturer statement about production or sales, and nothing else is taken from it. Obtained by Alternative Research on October 13, 2026 (www.bchydro.com robots.txt allows the page); checked by Research against its printed content.
