Quick update: No real update other than we still have the downpayment on this, but the timeline is going to be shifted as we had to transition the mmWave switch over to this manufacturer and made it our top priority. As it stands, these are the projects ahead of this one:
- Fan Switch - White Series
- Fan/Light Canopy - White Series
- mmWave - Red Series / Blue Series
- Button Controller - Red Series / Blue Series
- On/Off Switch - White Series / Blue Series
From a hardware side, all of these are completed, so the Outlet is next up. However, from a firmware side, there’s quite a bit ahead of it.
I believe power draw, but I’ll have to wait for the engineer on this one to confirm.
Great question, let me check!
I like the idea, but I’m nervous of two things:
- Space on the PCB
- Cost
With the space, while I haven’t seen the PCB layout yet, I’m guessing it will be difficult as most of the front is covered by both outlets and the USB-C making it tough for the mmWave sensor to fit (let alone the potential EMF interference).
With cost, this is already a fairly expensive product. Just some back of the napkin math has it looking like it would be an MSRP of $105+ 
- Base cost is 50% higher than our Dimmer
- mmWave switch is double the base cost of our dimmer
