Shipping Progress

[ktiedt]

Any news on the availability of the EU Z-wave modules? I'm a March backer for a 2GB board and a Z-wave module but haven't heard anything since KS/BK took my money some time ago.

Z-Wave already build, currently under testing due to we force to switch from Mitsumi module to Sigma Design module. In general, we believe Sigma Designs module (original Zwave) module not as good as Mitsumi. However, Sigma Designs don't want to sell their chip to Mitsumi to build module and we have no choice and need to use Sigma Designs one. Our initial testing Sigma Desigm EU module performance can be acceptable but US module suck !!!

If the Sigma modules are bad why would Mitsumi buy them? This entire explanation seems convoluted and the fact that you are ok with shipping a module that as you state "sucks"... is disturbing. I too would be more interested in alternative items over a subpar replacement to what was originally expected to be delivered.
