HS-FC200+ Release Date?

[rmasonjr]

For those interested in being alerted when we receive stock

HS-FC200+

The User Guide link on that page is still pointing to the WD-200+ guide. Is there any way we can see the User Guide for the FC-200+?

Product page on the website says September.

That must have been added fairly recently. Anyway, great news but what about being able to preorder?

Question for the HS guys, can I use my existing GE aux switches, in this case the one for my GE fan controller, with HS dimmers, switches and fan controller so I don't have to replace them as well?

I'm not sure why that is great news. It originally said July after previously being April or May. They keep pushing the date back.

Grumble... Grumble... how about this as my first post on the forum? ;-) I am waiting for the FC200+ to finish upgrading my house to 200 series Dimmers, Switches and fan controllers. I could not wait for some rooms so I now have the old Leviton Vizia RF fan controllers hanging out. I hope they wont have to "hang out" for too much longer but last I heard from HS was that the fan controllers would be available "before the end of the year" verbatim... If it goes beyond September I think I will just install the GE/Jasco ones without LEDs but that is not what I want

I'm getting tired of waiting as well. I did pick up one of these GE ones and it works great! I am really tempted to just buy enough for the rest of the fans in the house if these Homeseer ones keep getting delayed.

This is going on something like 9 months since they first showed them. That is an eternity in this market.

The fan controllers will ship from China (by air) on Friday. We should have them within 2 weeks.

Wonderful news. Can I place my order? I will need 7 fan controllers and I do not want to risk having to wait months for them if the pent up demand wipes out this batch before I get to place the order. Credit card authorizations last 30 days I believe so if you can ship in 2 weeks it should be ok to take orders now.

Mark - the User Guide on the Fan Controller page is *still* pointing to the WD-200 info. Can we see the new doc for the Fan Controllers, specifically the wiring instructions?

We have thousands coming in... you'll be fine. Open the product page and click the "email me when available" button and add your email. You'll be notified the minute they become available.

All set. Try the link again.

Is there a SmartThings DTH for the FC200+? If not I wonder whether I can attempt to modify the WD200+ DTH to make it work with the fan controller.

BTW, the WS200+ DTH has preferences that do not apply to it. When the WD200+ DTH was modified the preferences applicable to the WD200 were left.

Will there be almond wall pates when these come in?

The almond plates will take a bit longer (probably a month or so).

The HS-WD200+ DH should also work for the fan controller
