At a guess the company owns a long lease on the space in the mall and sub-lets it to the franchisee.

Is this a closed platform? Or can one integrate with one's own/third party solutions?

FAQ here http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/customer-service/smart-lighting-su...

says no API access in the first version but IKEA is working towards an open system.

I haven't confirmed this, but I've heard they are Zigbee Light Link devices, which should work with any other ZLL devices on the same mesh.

I believe they're Zigbee Home Automation, not ZLL. Either that or they're improperly reporting that they support ZHA instead of ZLL, which causes issues for 3rd party bridges like Philips Hue. https://developers.meethue.com/comment/2686#comment-2686

You're correct. It says in their FAQ that they're using ZigBee Light Link, AES-128 and have put time and effort into preventing them from being hacked. They also say that they work in a mesh and should be compatible with other products per the ZigBee Alliance.

Don't know why this was downvoted. NB you need to upgrade your pip to the latest to use this if you are on Ubuntu LTS though. (But you are working in virtualenvs so this isn't a problem right?)

The Dell comes with a package to prevent the windows key working. Don't know why. A search and one command and you'll be using the the windows key properly.

The GP's using it for personal use (I think). OP merely suggested a hack to let GP get on with their life as quickly as possible in 2 lines of bash and one crontab entry - and without learning a new process monitoring utility's configuration. Obviously this wouldn't be suitable for a production site for many users.
