    Re: ICOM-Technology - any news?

    Today it is September 21st. Does the text "We are finalizing preparations for a pilot run in September 2005, after which mass production and shipping products for the German and Benelux markets will start, followed closely by products for the UK market." mean that we have to wait for October...

      This company seems to be draging it for quite a long time now. I was thinking about getting the chips and try something myself.

        Re: ICOM-Technology - any news?

        Some Googling on icom technology and z-wave gave this result:

        Zevenbergen, The Netherlands, August 21, 2004.

        ICOM Technology BV today announced, we are finalizing preparations for mass production and will start shipping finished products for the German and Benelux markets by year end, closely followed by products for the UK." The ICOM initial product offering will consist of several lighting and power control products, including the award winning "One-touch" remote control.
        The press release is not listed on their home page... Why??

          This press release of august 2004 has been on their site before, but has been replaced by their press releases of may 2005.

          Personally, I have no idea why, but my guess is this is due to a replanning...

            Richard,

            This happens when you don't read thoroughly - I didn't notice that the press release was from 2004. I was shocked to see "year end", and assumed that it was 2005.

            I do remeber this old pressrelease now. I am crossing my fingers that there will be no more delays (even though we have October just round the corner).

            I really need good looking Z-wave stuff - not the ugly HomePro, they are so late 70's.

              On Oktober 26, this (translated) message was recieved from Icom-technology:
              Dear Sir,

              Unfortunately new modification are required due to the complexity of Icom products and new RoHS and WEEE law enforcement rules.
              Due to these conditions we expect to introduce our product around march 2006.

              With kind regards,
              Icom-technology BV
              As far as i Know, the UK modules are expected two orthree months after the european modules.

              Regards,

              Richard

                  Just had a quick word with my Z-Wave contact.

                  It sounds like we are only weeks away from something very interesting being announced about the UK.

                  Hopefully we'll not have to wait too much longer.

                        Just been on the Icom website and it looks like the products are there. I noticed UK sockets in the line up.
                        I've just contacted them so I will let you know how I get on.

                          Their homepage is the same as it was for more than a year ago - the only thing that has changed is that they removed the "news" section (maybe because that there were no news - ever)...

                              Still waiting to hear from Icom. Oh well I wonder if Zwave going to be another system heading for the Home Automation graveyard
