Not the way I see it, really. This is for those cases where one just wants remote control of some lights from another light. The market is already flooded with remote control pads, phone apps, etc...this is aimed at the space where less automation is the goal, not more.
Are you guys planning an eventual 3-prong version of this for higher-wattage devices?
I don't know. I'm just a hired engineer handling the internals. Product positioning, planning, marketing, etc isn't any of my business.
Also how does the device retain power when shutting off a light enough for it to send a 'socket #x has turned off' event from a sender unit? a big capacitor to supply power to the antenna and mcu? or does it have a battery?
I'm not at liberty to discuss much of the internals, as I don't own the design, but I will say that "off" events are handled, and there is no battery. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
