Hey guys,
Sorry for the delay here – had some internal turnover, which caused me to be out of commission in the forums, but I should be back now that I’ve taken on a finance role (puke… I’m a marketing guy) and figured things out there.
Anyway, I’ve published our 2020 Roadmap which has the innovation we have planned.
@neminat – sorry to have let you down my man. We tried with the dual switch, but unfortunately fell short due to a few reasons. The main reason being internal capital to make this happen. From a priority standpoint, we wanted to put out the Fan/Light switch and Remote switch prior to the dual switch. Unfortunately, every new innovation costs us around $80-100k to produce (UL fees, FCC/IC fees, Z-Wave fees, tooling, etc) so we have to pick and choose. Luckily the manufacturer had some white-label (already produced) switches that have been requested (motion switch, 4-button switch) so we didn’t have to spend the extra money on tooling/ul/fcc, etc.
If everything goes well, I do want to do a dual switch using the profits we receive from the current roadmap as I do believe there is an amazing opportunity here. Unfortunately, now we just don’t have the capital to innovate here.
Wish I had better news and sorry for the radio silence – there’s only 7 of us here and with the loss of a couple key members in the first quarter, we’ve all had to pick up slack in other places but the community.
