azkid Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Found this https://www.soundandvision.com/content/flex-automation-bridges-control4-and-z-wave does anyone know if this product is still coming to market? quick google search looks like the company is in brasil and there is nothing on their website. I hate my vera so really excited about the possibility of something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No news for more than a year now, I can’t get any updates either, it sounds like a great enhancement and a most wanted addition. I will try to write to them and see if there is any real development after the announcement! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indecision Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I have been searching for updates every few months as well. Was excited about this when I saw the release but haven't seen anything since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 It hasn't been a year yet, since I last heard, but we're getting there. COVID did hit Brazil pretty hard - and in general most development across the world has been ground to a halt. Wouldn't hold my breath, but I wouldn't write it off yet either.

Amr Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well I contacted them directly sends me to US agent that never responded, am trying again to understand who has them in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofakng Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I've just called the Brasil office and spoke to them about this. They seemed very friendly and told me this product is shipping and available. I'm located in the United States and was told their distributor is located in Chicago and should have stock available. Once I receive further information I'll let everybody else know who is interested. @Amr I see you are located in Egypt, but perhaps the US distributor can also help you out or provide different contact information? Thanks, John l3anks and azkid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indecision Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I am in the U.S. and definitely interested. Thank you for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofakng Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 OK - I've received a response from the US distributor: Quote The MSRP on the Z-Wave Gateway is $498 and all the Gateway and device drivers are for no additional cost. We are taking orders starting next week and Shipping the first week of January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a good alternative to Vera if things fall apart with that integration. Look forward to hearing everyone's experiences. @sofakng how do people submit orders to the distributor?

sofakng Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 @Dueport I'm still talking to the distributor to find out more information but I'll let you know when I find out. I'm a member of the Control4 Partner Program (ie. driver developer) and it sounds like the distributor wants to work with an authorized dealer. If anybody is interested in working with me and the distributor please let me know. Regardless, when I find out how other dealers can purchase the units I will definitely post the information.

Amr Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Its an imaginary device selling for $495 a piece, I gave up on getting one, I will never pay $500 for such a device, period, I got 5 Sonoff Zigbee Bridges @ $100 covering my entire house and there is a ton of very reliable Zigbee Devices now, no need to Zwave @ all.

sofakng Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'm still testing the device but I'm only a tester so I don't have any inside information. I was told it was supposed to be released a few months ago but I'll see what the current status is and I'll also see if I can confirm the price.
