A while ago I remember reading on the forum, talk about Universal Devices building their own PLM.  Has anything come of that or was that just talk?

Thanks

Nothing has come of it, or likely will.  Smarthome would need to support UDI with chips and documentation and they've refused to do so.

I understand that it was designed, and perhaps even a few beta units were sent out (but perhaps that's just rumor).  In any case, the brilliant, forward-looking geniuses at Not-So-SmartHome failed to deliver the chips and/or firmware necessary, so the product didn't make it to market.

(I suspect Not-So-SmartHome decided to take the short-term revenue from ISY users replacing their PLMs every two years, rather than take the long-term view of owning a bigger market by making partners, and thus customers, successful.)

I know it was designed and I believe a few engineering prototype modules where made for testing.

Then Smartlabs did a reverse on a commitment to provide the firmware for the  Main and RF controller chips. With out the needed firmware the project could not proceed.
