Zigbee 2-1 Switch (On/Off & Dimmer) | Project New Horizon (Blue Series)

Ha, yes, this current product I’m referencing is actually for a B2B customer that came to us to design this switch for them. We wanted to see how it would work out first before considering it for our own lineup. So, right now it’s still strictly for B2B, but it could potentially be released to the public. However, there’s not a lot of commercial hubs that speak LoRa right now, so I’m not sure what the market potential would be.

Yeah this is a good point. It may not seem like it based on feedback from this forum, but there are actually a lot of installers who use Alarm.com or Ring and there’s no way to change parameters, so we have to leave these features on there.

As @mamber mentioned, we did strip a lot of it out prior to make room for some of the other features and tweaks and we’re still left with a maxed out memory unfortunately.

Ha, yes, I think we’ve pretty much explored all options for the 500 Series. There’s still some enhancements we need to make like overriding the 80% throttle in a 3-Way setting that we’re trying to figure out right now, but as far as adding in more features, it’s going to be really hard to do.

The other kind of, “unspoken” problem is that the current manufacturer doesn’t have the bandwidth to continuously make these tweaks for us and every time we do, we have to pay them, so we have to go to them with a lot of enhancements at once to make it worth while.

20203 is a very long ways away lol

Yes, that is what we asked for with the Blue Series (multi-tap on the aux switch will be detected on the smart switch). Currently, this is not a feature on the Red Series nor will it unfortunately ever be until possibly the 800 Series as there isn’t enough room and the engineers who worked on the 500 Series said the hardware just doesn’t support it (we’re using a different manufacturer for this product than the Red Series product).
