Tomaž sent me the dev kit Mono Gateway I am testing in this video, so I have marked the video as 'sponsored' (I also ordered one for myself, prior to Tomaž sending this test unit!). Mono did not offer any other form of payment, nor have any input into this video's contents. See my sponsorship policies here: https://github.com/geerlingguy/youtube?tab=readme-ov-file#sponsorships
