Had a conversation with a guy today that signed up with these guys.  Anyone ever see this before? Anyone use it?

I have no idea.  Looks like it on their site, to be honest I've only known about it for about 2 hours. lol

Ed will be known as the Tiger Woods of the integration business, followed closely with the renaming of his company to "Hotties A/V". The tag line will be "We like big racks and tight holes"...

I have seen it before somewhere. I remember those keypads. It may have been a CEDIY article. I thought the name was different though.

Oh, one thing that stuck out on their website. It says “unlock your door with touch or voice” the voice integration looks to be Alexa. But doesn’t amazon have a strict policy about Alexa cannot unlock a lock?

I’ve known for two years- really curious to see how it works in the wild.

Looks like you can lock it, but not unlock it. You are correct sir.

Run Away.

The "Technical" Specifications on their web site says:

1. "It's Dimmable" but gives no other information. So I guess it will dim that high pressure sodium light on the garage and the T-12 fluorescent in the laundry room?

2. Makes no mention of 3-way or 4-way switch control.

3. Says it needs a line, load, neutral and ground wire in the gang box. It also says that this is what you'll find in your home wiring. Really? Even in the house with knob & tube?

That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are! God forgive me, and bless the pygmies.

They are making the rounds to distributors. There are a few Sonos expats near the top. I would expect a similar playbook. The platform has lots of potential. I don’t know how deep their inventory is, but they were selling units at a local distributor.

I suppose it has its place. Margins are thin.

Distributors have display pieces, but they have Super Glue in the terminals, so they don't work. Haven't seen a working model and it doesn't work in older homes without a neutral.
