They could advertise them at £10 each, but if they don't have any stock then it's moot. Amazon always seem to continue to advertise products that are out of stock or even permanently no longer available, presumably to keep attracting customers to the storefront in the hope they will purchase something else on the same site as an alternative.
If the wholesale price comes down such that they would actually sell for that price, the other stockists would presumably also be adjusting their prices in line too.
So at the moment the choices seem to be wait, use the HR91 instead or pay the price elsewhere.

For the record, I have one on order from Amazon but have yet to receive any kind of update on expected delivery date.

Logically, the current lack of HR92 actuators can most likely be put down to ongoing semiconductor shortage issues. But it is quite annoying that there has been no announcement on this forum about why this is happening from a silent Resideo, unlike other manufacturers who find themselves in this situation?
It really does make me think that maybe this situation could be used to justify moving into an end-of-life scenario for Evohome by Resideo. How can a product be actively marketed to potential new users if the prime element - the top-end actuator - is totally unavailable?
It doesn't feel good to me at all.
Resideo?

Lots of things are currently totally unavailable.
Semiconductors used in some of my own designs have lead times of up to 12 months, meaning having to redesign using alternative components. ATMega 32U4 microcontrollers have gone from $3 per unit to $30 per unit - 10 times the normal cost.
Automotive companies have been affected, e.g. Tesla temporarily had to stop supplying USB connectivity in Model 3 cars due to components shortages so they could continue to get the cars out, MyEnergi had to design the Zappi to use alternative components due to shortages, etc etc.
So it's not a Honeywell specific issue, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions around making Evohome end of life. At least there is still a solution in the HR91, if no actuators at all were available then it would be a bigger issue.
