They’ve already made it pretty clear that a red series canopy module is not happening. See this post from a couple of years ago. The linked post and thread has more details, but I quoted the most relevant part.
But for the more nice products, Fan Switch and Fan/Light Canopy Module, these are next to impossible to produce for us in Z-Wave because the numbers just aren’t there.
To put it in perspective, even our Zigbee numbers are low on those devices (bc there’s only so many fans in people’s houses). We’ve only produced two batches of the fan switch in Zigbee and are just starting to produce the second one. We even ordered the minimum quantity for those devices which is 3k units (so 6k total). We produced the fan switch just over a year ago.
The Fan/Light Canopy Module is suffering low sales now too. My theory is that it’s bc no one knows what it does except for people who ordered the LZW36, but that’s a marketing problem for me to handle, not a demand problem.
