I see the Almond Click is now available for preorder on the site. 3 for $30 preorder special. Full price of 3 for $50 is a bit higher than I hoped but certainly not unreasonable compared to some other options. Shipping in December, fingers crossed no delays like the 3.

One thing I would recommend they change about the actual blog posting is to add the preorder link right in, maybe where it mentions the price.
Also, preorder page kept giving me an error to match the requested phone number format, but no format was listed. I found it to be:
XXXYYYYYYY
Area code = XXX
Remainder = YYYYYYY
No spaces or other characters allowed.
Finally, the Accessories page (had to dig to find them, it is not splashed on the main page) is not great in mobile portrait mode, nor did there appear to be a learn more link for them. Screenshot attached.

It isn't much bettter in my chrome browser either. (It's half screen on my 1440p monitor)

It is working for me just fine in chrome on a desktop (don't know the resolution of these monitors). On chrome mobile if I click desktop view it makes it all smaller otherwise it is also jammed up. Strange, don't remember having that issue before. But I am glad the click is available for preorders, I picked up a few.
-
It did not prevent me from ordering. :)
Otherwise I would not have seen the phone number error. Looking forward to playing with these, or at least using a button my wife will consider acceptable for being out in the open.
-
I am on the fence about buying these. I think they can be extremely useful, but the current Rules interface doesn't seem to support that many use cases.
Is it an IP device or z-wave ? Also, what's the difference between this and a dash button? I have about 6 dash buttons I am not using because I cannot use them as a toggle switch. I am not sure if the Rules interface will be updated to support this.
BTW, it just took me a few minutes to find that page. I have it in my cart and I can't click the product to go the Click page. The blog post does not mention it. The search does not show anything. On the Almond page, if I scroll down I can see the click, but it does not have Learn More. The only way I can reach it is through Ashok's post. It's almost as if Securifi does not want people to buy too many of these :-) .
Any idea if these can be used outdoors ?
-
Actually they are ZigBee. It seems like they would not suffer the on/off problem you can run into with Dash Buttons with the current usage. Plus, as I mentioned, my wife approves the look.
-
I had no issue finding them but that was a few days ago just before Ashok's post so I don't remember how I did so. I expect they will work like a HA switch but with nothing physically attached to it. They do state they can be used as a door bell, I don't know what that means for outdoor ratings however.
-
Any information on ETA/availability in Europe, especially Germany?
I'd love to have a cheapish zigbee button.
-
I'm also interested on Almond Clicks but it doesn't allow me to order them from the Securifi website.
-
https://www.securifi.com/almondclick preorder from here. Should be working.
-
The securifi website uses IP geolocation so if you're using an non US IP you can't order.
You need a US postal address to order anyway so I guess that's why they're doing it.
-
@ engr.jpc,
Once you are on our website, ensure to select country as "United States" and then try, it should work.
-
First it was December and then January. When can we actually expect these to arrive????
-
Yes, it is working after I changed to US. The problem is I'm from Canada so I guess I can't order it?
-
No, since they are selling to US only. Of course... you could always try to find someone in the US willing to ship it to you but that would take longer and possibly cost more (assuming the price does not go up itself after the initial pre-orders).
-
+Still waiting on a shipping date....
-
Just preordered and now it says February :(
-
So now we have moved from Dec-Jan-Feb. Did it say 2017 or 2018? Not happy that I committed my $ in Nov.

We have been facing logistical problems with some of our partners which is causing this delay. I can assure you that the development of the product itself is complete and we'll ship in February.

Supposedly some samples have been going out.. least according to some reviews on Producthunt....

My preorder for the Clicks just was cancelled... Not sure whats the issue...
Thinking it didnt like my prepaid card..

@ joltdude,

Yes, sorry about that and rest be assured, I will try to get back with an alternate option for you. The reason why it got cancelled was the address was not matching with the bank records, see, if you could place the order again by making sure shipping address and address available on bank matches.

Thank you for placing the order again and this time, no issues with the address mismatch and order has been processed successfully.

Hi,
Any news on a European release? Very happy for our American cousins to test it first though, but will we be missing out on the the pre-order price in the UK?
-
@Ashok any news on when pre-orders will ship?
-
No reply? It's February now...
-
@ nsgnfcnt1,
@Ashok any news on when pre-orders will ship?
I just got a confirmation, everything is on track and shipping would start by Feb last week.
-
:D
-
OK; I was wondering too; Last week of February? ;)
Thanks Ashok!
-
I have the same question I am interested in approximate shipping date.
-
OK. It is now officially the last week of February. How about a firm shipping date??
-
Hi All,
I am sorry for the late response, but look what is getting ready to be shipped and all your orders have been processed today.
-
I saw a tracking number in my Email for Click this afternoon.....
=)
-
Mine are showing as delivered.
-
Interesting. Almost looks like you folks should have made it into a 4 pack.
For the color circles (nice touch) are any of them glow-in-the-dark? That might be a nice add in the future, to make at least one easier to see in the evening (although it likely would not last).
-
@ fillibar,

No and glowing in the dark, does sound very useful and interesting...
-
That's OK. Like I said, they may not last that long (certainly not all night). I have glow material and reflective. So once I have the size I can try it out. Amazing the stuff that builds up from kids craft projects.
-
Just got mine today! Looks like they're shipping out of Amazon warehouses.
Does the Almond+ support Tamper? I something about it when setting up rules, but I don't see the "Tampered" button on the touchscreen like the instructions mention.
-
Added my first one to my Almond+ paired up as almond click. Doesn't seem to be able to do anything through rules yet even though it is supported.
-
Attached a screen shot of the Almond+ interface and Almond 3 to show the comparison.
-
Also it works quite well. 8)

What is the firmware version on the Almond+ and could you please check the Web UI of Almond+, also the local connection of App?
-
Version: AP2-R090-L009-W016-ZW016-ZB005
Not home now so I can't check the Web UI or local connection.
Also, it is being treated as a light bulb by the app in Almond +.

That's strange, I just checked it at our end and it is working fine. Is it possible for you to remove and add it back, let us know the status. Meanwhile, I would request our guys to do something testing and see, what is going on.
-
Got mine today. Now I just have to find something to do with them. I had been looking for a decent switch for so long that I jumped on the preorder without thinking. Only to realize today that my use case for them is basically gone since the integration with Echo.

Tested on local connection and via Webui same both cases. Going to add another one then try removing and re-pairing the first.
-
Added another one. Didn't remove the first one... Second one showed up correctly. In all interfaces. Removed the first and it paired correctly the second time.

i would love to get these in the UK, any idea when these might be available outside the US?
