Yep, @kreene1987, it’s a classic case of “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone”.
In addition to the Black Series dimmers that are still available on Inovelli’s store, I just noticed that Amazon seems to have some Black Series on/off’s available. Definitely gonna grab some, though I really want Red Series for most of my applications.
I’ve the same problem now… @Eric_Inovelli you should offer an upgrade program. I’ve got 2x dimmers and 2x on/off switches I would love to upgrade to Red series. I’ll ignore the non-Inovelli ones for now
Hey Eric! Is there any chance you can add in a Buy Now button for the LZW60 sensors even though they’re back ordered? Kind of like what you already have for the Red Switches?
I’m getting ready to place another order and would love to be able to add all the products I was hoping to bag on the same order, if at all possible. Completely get it if not possible of course, just thought I’d try my luck since a couple other people are also asking as well.
Judging by the top of the thread… No. I’m VERY anxiously waiting these for my new home build. I’m already needing to delay trim out to accommodate the 8/30 date. I REALLY REALLY hope that date sticks.
Delaying trim out for them has to suck, I hope they’re “on time”! When ordering individual switches on their store it says 8/30 but it says 8/15 for the 10 packs. I intended to try one before ordering a bunch, but the way stock seems to go for this stuff and then be out of stock for months made me just order a bunch now. If it turns out I don’t like them ill just have to return the lot of them I guess.
Since ordering I’ve been reading these forums a lot trying to know as much as I can when they get here… I’m honestly a little nervous about them now. It seems like the latest firmware is doing well and has solved a bunch of the issues, but I’m reading that the dimming up/down is not smooth and not able to be fixed via firmware update. I’ve had old zwave(non plus) Leviton switches for years now, they ramp up/down very smoothly. If these are all herky jerky I don’t know if I’ll be able to live with it. I’m also testing them out to see if we want to start using them at work instead of the GE switches. My customers aren’t going to put up with herky jerky dimming even if the feature set is awesome… they’re normal consumers, not tech geeks like us.
I believe they are using the latest “beta” version for the newest shipment, which should fix many of the issues. It can’t be verified as a stable/production release until it completes re-certification, but that’s underway…
Having them come with the beta firmware would be nice! I just got done installing an LZW36 and 7 LZW42’s around the house and while I was drinking a glass of wine… updating all of their firmware one by one isn’t exactly fun lol. So it would be nice to not have to do that with 20 switches. I was kind of figuring they wouldn’t/couldn’t ship them with the new firmware until it was out of certification.
I can say I’m pretty happy so far. I already tried out 1 of the LZW42’s and then picked up 7 more. The LZW36 works great so far. I didn’t really mess with it much with the firmware that came on it, I just went ahead and put the beta firmware on it.
Any update on the red series 10 packs and when ya’ll might receive them/ship them out @Eric_Inovelli?
