Yes, sorry – here’s a quick update on the next milestone – we have a call tomorrow morning where I can confirm everything.
May 14 - Tooling is completed, beta samples are dispatched (set to arrive May 20th), ETL Certification starts (they don’t need the final firmware on it, they just need the final hardware).
So far, Eric M and I have been testing the alpha samples and have put any issues in GitHub. While there are still some bugs, overall the switch is performing well.
We’ve allocated 1.5 months for beta testing – a little shorter than normal, but Eric and I have carried most of the weight so far in testing, so we feel we can iron out the final firmware in that timeline.
Trial production starts on June 19th where ETL will come out and verify the facility and ensure safety protocols are set in place.

Production is still set for July for Zigbee and Z-Wave and I haven’t heard any contradicting news in our weekly calls, so I’m going off of that for now.

I just received the Matter contract this morning and am reviewing it with our COO so we can kick this off immediately. The hardware is the same aside from the chipset, so I don’t anticipate any delays there – I just am waiting for a firm date on firmware completion/testing.
