6/6 - First batch of PCB delivered for quality inspection: Done
6/29 - OK given for the mass production: Done
7/24- Start shipping the early bird pre release pledge
8/24- Start shipping against the remaining pledges
If it is working with Alexa, it will work with the Tantiv4 system. You do not need a separate hub.

I was just inquisitive about the delay. The early tester pledges say they'll ship in April which must suggest you have these already produced? Will they still be shipped to the 50 tester level backers out before the mass production this month? I'm struggling to see how if the shipping date is the month the kickstarter finishes it can be delayed due to production issues
Thanks
Thanks! We still think that openHAB makes sense and we hope we can still address that quickly, within this year. I will put a date to it depending on how many requests we get on tantiv4's public forums. You do not have to re-image your RPi- we will release everything we are doing through GitHub to opensource. It could be a simple re-install of the required packages. DYI image is for convenience.
You are right about sonos. You would need RPi for that. We are already working on an open source project for that, which we will release shortly. The path would be through an action channel that Tantiv4 creates on IFTTT. This is a backdoor entry of Sonos to IFTTT :-)

However, soon we expect that the discussion threads will shift away to there. Yes. - openhab2 along with node-red and Domoticz seem like top choices if you plan to run server at home i.e. "fog computing"
FetchitGO is powered by two 2450 button cells each with 620mAH capacity. As a rough estimation- let us say only 85% is usable at ~1000mAH. Each button press transaction may consume about 0.01 - 0.05 mAH of power depending on the various environmental factors, including the distance of the FetchitGO device from the Gateway. So, a fair estimate would be somewhere between 20,000 to 100,000 button presses before you have to change the battery. The communication between the Gateway and the FetchitGO device is based on 802.15.4 RF link with 6LoWPAN based transport.
PoE will make the FetchitGO device tethered, it is meant as a untethered wireless device to be useful. Wireless communication is not spotty within 300ft LOS spec. After that, there is plenty power in reserve to boost the RF signals, if needed.

The FetchitGO device is wireless. The Gateway is wired and sits near your home router. We have tested line of sight operation of up to 300 ft between FecthitGO and the Gateway.

There have been several requests for the wireless solution but unfortunately, we have not started on the project just yet. The best alternative is to use TP-LINK TL-WR802N to make wifi to wired bridge. That adds $29 and a bit of extra hardware needing USB power. The reason we used wired solution was that it gets around the awkward problem of setting up the WiFi password.

I see from the user manual video that the gateway is wired. Is it ONLY wired or will/can there be a wireless gateway at some point? My reason for asking is I'd like to integrate FetchitGo for possible in-vehicle uses where a wired connection obviously isn't available. Thanks.
We support click, double click and hold. For instance, to turn on the light, you can use click and to turn it off you can use double click or hold. We would also be putting a value 0-5 associated with each button, depending on how you configure. There is a single number display to support that. Between, these features it should cover everything you are asking - right?

Button 1 pressed first time - trigger mode Button 1 phase 1.
Button 1 pressed second time - trigger mode Button 1 phase 2.
Button 1 pressed third time - trigger mode Button 1 phase 1. And so on, double push could work the similar fashion. Double push button 1 - trigger mode button 1 double push on IFTTT. Double push depends of course the hardware / software capabilities. However phased programming should be fairly easy to execute on your servers? Thanks for considering these :)
Yes- we plan to support node-red and other servers. We plan to create a DYI mode- which will allow the coap calls for button presses go to an IP address of your choice (or an address resolved through DNS). One would need to run a CoAP Californium server- where we will provide the stub to get the fire-forget button press events. From there the calls can be taken to node-red on same (RPi?) or a different machine. Californium server is fairly light weight and the stub code is also minimal. There would be a mechanism to switch between the DYI mode and the "normal mode- talking to Tantiv4 server" without a firmware download.
