I think they show offline if that is the case BUT that could just be the newer Almond 3 / 3S to be honest I don't remember. I wouldn't expect any updates to the Almond+ at this point. I think it is like 4 years or so removed from its release. I have started to migrate all my stuff to the Almond 3S and Almond 3 ecosystem. It is much better for WiFi with the mesh setup and the smart home stuff has been updated more than the Almond+.
Yeh but the thing is over the course of all those years they didnt deliver much updates! And left hanging lots of issues and limitations. that's my problem! I was a customer from day 1 and have used, recommended, and deployed over 10 Almond+ all for friends family and clients, all in the hopes that these devices will receive updates and improvements regularly.
About the 3S
- would be nice but at the price it's coming in at, might as well get a more powerful smarthome hub. i mean i do understand it comes with other features like internet security and stuff but, honestly, most of us would rather use a different solution for that. I hate it when companies make ALL IN ONE , BE-ALL product, i think Securifi is trying too hard to be that, competing with other routers with the edge of having HA built in. I've used over 5 Almonds + and on all deployments I dont even use the router part at all. I just really needed their Zigbee/zwave hub with local intelligence (Not cloud dependent)
- which leads me to 3S, Securifi decided to go the Zigbee route primarily which sucks. Z-wave is a far superior product that in my experience has more stability and interoperability. But i do understand this decision though since the market is flooded with more zigbee specially crap coming from China so they want to primarily support that market. So i guess i dont have a problem with this , at least they offered Zwave extend-ability
Anyway ill try to make do with my A+ and if this gets too sad, i might have to switch to Vera or something else. I mean, if I will have to use a USB ZWAVE stick, i might as well stick that in a cheap old laptop and run a better more flexible HA management server on it!
But im still wishing/hoping A+ will get some love from the devs.
