@ All,

May be I could provide more details about the Beta Group. There are few users who only signed NDA and few filled only the form, with their respective details and the users who did both would have the access to basic details could have the access the Beta Group.

In that Beta Group, users would have access to download the Beta firmware and also Beta apps. All we need to do is, download the firmware and upload it via Web UI and test it.

Now, for the users who did not fill the form yet can send a pm to me.

@ medatom,

You are already there in the Beta group, could you please check if you are able to access the board name "Beta Test Forum".

I for one am getting ZigBee items only because they will be supported by Google's OnHub.  As soon as they roll out even the most basic home automation to its software I'll be ready to write this thing off.

I just thought I would bump my post back up since it was taken over by the whole "Beta Tester" thing.

Well Securifi...Anything new?  Where is this big release you promised?  Is the Almond+ being sold off to a bigger company who can fulfill the original vision of the device??

Officially disconnected and thrown in the closet.  Biggest waste of $250 in the history of wasting money.

So what did you replace it with? I am pretty set to get ST V2, but what for a router/hub/wifi access point?

So far V2 is doing everything I want/need and more. I will admit it has a strong learning curve with individual "apps" and no actual rules engine. Having Harmony ,Echo , TCP connect, HoneyWell Comfort, IFTT, etc etc integration more than makes up for the inconvenience . When I ordered the V2, it comes with a 30 day no question return policy , so that gave Securifi that long to push out the long promised "you will love it " update. Well another 30 days has passed with still no update.

I am also still hung up on trying to figure out what to do as far as a modem .  My Almond ( original) works fine as AP/Extender/clock, so I just assume A+ will have the same role.  I just hate that I wasted almost $200 on what ended up being a $10 4port network switch with an LED clock that doesn't even have an alarm.

Yes, and Harmony just released their long overdue Z-wave/Zigbee hub, which piggybacks on the IR/RF/BT/Wifi hub, but I haven't been able to figure out if that's actually better than connecting the Harmony to a SmartThings or one of the many other hubs they work with (it's the same $99 as a STv2). It seems that Harmony's "activities" aren't as flexible as Almond+'s Rules, so SmartThings apps may be the best choice.

Exactly like that, and you don't need the new Harmony. Just any Harmony with a hub, I picked one up for < $90 on fleabay. So ST V2 and Harmony combined are still less than A+.  ST V2 has C2C integration with both Harmony and Echo. So yes I can literally say Alexa Turn on Netflix, turn on movie, turn on Channel 5 etc etc  TV comes on switches to the proper input, surround sound comes on if needed .    I only set up a few commands, for the 4 major OTA networks, Netflix, Prime, Vudu,  since I just have OTA antenna, but yes there are some with 30-40 rules ( virtual switches ) for all their favorite cable channels

It has been 90 days since the solicitations started for beta testers.  Are there any updates or outcomes from the testing? 

Securifi, would you please post some sort of timeline?   Also, just so you know, the word "soon" is not a timeline or an update schedule--"soon" is also not a good business practice when dealing with customers, it is a brush off and a cop out.

Please post some sort of statement about your business and this product.  We as customers deserve at least that from you.

ya can't update  chipset. I did a side by side last night with another router (that I needed to buy because the A+ range sux), and was impressed by the over 16% increase in speed. My cameras have never looked better. Securifi, time has passed y'all by.
