Even Hub Cloud provides production hosting and distribution. Plug-in logic runs in the phone WebView, with Bluetooth to G2; this does not establish that all stock features work offline.

- Direct / local access
QR testing loads a local development server through the companion app; no direct Bluetooth API in the public G2 SDK.
- Self-hosting
Developer-hosted PWA alternative is documented; replacement of the vendor companion app or complete backend is not established.
- Own backend
Plug-ins can call their own APIs with declared network-domain permissions and valid CORS headers.
- Distribution notes
Architecture docs also describe developer-hosted PWA distribution without portal packaging or review; the companion bridge is still required for device APIs.
