Round 1 units are ready to order, we will likely sell out fast. I already started production of Round 2 so a pre-order window will begin as soon as we run out of Round 1 stock.

Not really any formal materials, the kit should have 4 screws that attach the brackets to the switch, then you would use drywall anchors to attach screws to the brackets and the wall, or if attaching to a cabinet or other solid object you can screw directly to that. Or zip tie to a metal shelving.
25.05.2025 03:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I'm working with Noctua at the moment on ordering more during the pause, but with deminimus gone the price will probably be unreasonable in the quantities I normally order. They will get hit with 25% + 30% and potentially more tariffs not sure what the full breakdown is.

I'll have to reach out directly, I can definitely get them in 100pcs or more.
22.05.2025 17:26 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I am worried I didn't get enough made for this launch, I ordered all the MCU boards from 2 different suppliers, and it will be another week before one gets more stock.
I am looking at the slightly larger module as a replacement, which comes with the bonus of being FCC certified.
Yes, I need to finish it out today.
22.05.2025 16:23 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0They are so little, looking at Monday 10am CST as the launch for round 1, not a pre-order we will have them in stock and begin shipping when we return from Memorial Day holiday.
