2020 Product Roadmap

[Eric_Inovelli]

Whew, I haven’t been in this thread in a bit… sorry guys!

You really need to consider toggle switches as well. My whole house is toggles. It is rather expensive to convert all to pedals, and I really don’t want a mash up of styles (the WAF plays a role here too). A lot of my switches are three way, and in 4 and 5 switch gang boxes. I keep looking at them and the couple switches I have, and I have my doubts they that many of your switches can fit in those boxes.

I also would like to vote for the toggles on the zigbee switches instead of the petals. I also would like to see no neutral as you have on the z-wave switches.

Hmmm… it’s just hard because we sold toggles before and we would sell paddles 200-1 easily. With R&D, Tooling, etc being upwards of $75-100k per product, it’s hard to justify toggles.

In regards to the depth of the switches (I think that’s what your concern is), regardless of toggles or paddles, the depth will likely be the same (at least they were on Gen 1). So, you should be good!

@Eric_Inovelli Can we get an update to the 2020 roadmap or a new 6 month forecast?

Sure – I’ll edit the above roadmap as well as provide some context to addition/subtractions!

@abhishek

Is there any update on the 4-button switch mentioned in the roadmap and on this thread ? Is that still under active development?

Yeah! As @gibbor mentioned, we have something similar coming out early 2021 and it’s something that’s being fast-tracked due to multiple parties that are interested in co-developing it with us and the manufacturer.

@Stephen

I’m curious if there’s an update for the zigbee switch?

This unfortunately will have to be pushed back to 2021 due to what I’ll explain at the original thread. In a nutshell, COVID, manufacturer constraints, and some exciting times with expenses have caused some projects to be pushed back.
