Zipatile with Zigbee - Delay Information

Christoph Krieger shared this question 8 years ago
Need Answer

For all of you who were looking forward to get the Zipatile this week after months of promising, Zipato said in a casual Facebook comment, that the version with ZigBee will at least take one more month to release. Zipato never said a word about that!

And we all know what that means! It can be fall when it releases!


Best Greetings.


An angy customer!

Can someone at Zipato officially confirm if there will be a delay? If so, why? When will we be getting a Zigbee/Zipatile?

It is also stated on the Zipato site: "Delivery by end of May, 2016"

Maybe now! But not at the time of ordering!

Production of Zipatile with Zigbee has been scheduled after the production of Z-wave only version is finished. Since we are shipping now Z-wave only version, we are starting the production of the Zigbee/Z-wave version now. Additionally, due to the multiple radios inside, we had some small modification on PCB which will cause additional delay, and we are currently planing to have it done by the end of May, or beginning of June at latest.


Since this is a complex device, delays like this are possible but we will keep you updated on our web pages all the time.


Anyway, if this is too much waiting for someone, we are ready to refund the payment immediately upon the official request.

Sebastian, many thanks for the detailed information. Please keep us updated of any new developments through the website.

My dealer just told me that the Zipatile with ZigBee will be at least delayed to end of June or the beginning of July.


Great News.


I make an guess. It will be August when shipping starts.

maybe try swapping to a z-wave one and get a refund for the extra. The zigbee variety is a very exciting device, especially with the zigbee and enocean and thread alliance coming board.

I swapped yesterday as I do not need Zigbee by now, but it would have been good to have the option for future projects.

I still can not understand how the Zipato scheduling works.

When my company announces products then you can buy them at the time that they are promised or even earlier.

And these products are a much more complex products than Zipatile. In comparison Zipatile is a potato.

Unfortunately, we have recently found some issue with the antenna design in Z-wave/Zigbee model. Nothing complicated but we had to redesign the PCB slightly and postpone the production. Delivery is expected to be by the end of June.

Please take our apologise for the delay. We are doing everything we can to finish it asap.

>>Hello Claas,

First of all, thank you for your support of Zipato.

Unfortunately we had delay with first version of ZipaTile Z-wave only, and now this delay also transferred to delivery of your version of ZipaTile Z-wave + ZigBee.

We are doing our best to push delivery date for Z-wave + ZigBee version, at the moment expected time of delivery would be at beginning of July.

As soon as your order will be ready our logistic will provide you with tracking number.

Best regards<<

Hi Zipato. I have a question in regards to the Zipatile with Zigbee models. I have ordered one for an installation from Zwaveeurope (together with other brand products). They have received the zipatiles, however told me that they tested 2 zipatiles and both were having problems with crashing (apparently software issue). Zwaveeurope told me that they will not send out any zipatile until this issue is resolved. Can you let me know any update on this?

Hi Atilla,

in order to check it out their story, I went personally to see these two "crashing" Zipatiles. And I have soon realized that when testing these 2 Zipatiles, guys from Z-wave europe were not even logged in to these Zipatiles, but to their Zipabox which they had on the same account. Of course, pairing didn't work since they were activating pairing on the wrong box.

Furthermore, since Zipatiles were not even connected to the cloud, they were restarting every 5 minutes, as this is an option which is set by default in configuration settings.

I don't know how someone incapable to login to the right controller can communicate things like that, but I know that Z-wave europe is not selling only Zipatile controller, but other controllers as well. Also, they have their own controller which is actually a Phillio controller modified by them, and I guess they said that one works perfectly;-)


Anyway, Zipatiles with Zigbee are available and we are selling them.

Hi Sebastian. I know a few stories with Zwave europe. About 5 months ago they have sent out warning emails to all partners in order to confirm that in an independent test the qubino modules are not safe and can risk fire. Apparently this independent test was paid by them...interesting...obviously they are promoting Fibaro everywhere and this was not a nice move from them...

I shall get in touch with them and get this going.

Sebastian, believe it or not but after your post 1 hr later I received an email from sales in Zwaveeurope that there is still no solution. I have responded with some of your comments and also called him to enforce to send me the goods as this is not the right approach. It appears that their technical team simply did not see your video and hence were not setting up the zipatile in the right order...I had the same with my zipatile as there were no videos 5 months ago...

I have ordered via intellihome.be and they told me the do not get any Feedback from Zipato regarding the delivery Status. Better not to get it if it´s not working properly, but nevertheless I would be quite happy to hold it in my hands after waiting so long. In addition wi´th the cluster issues this is more than disappointing, but I decided to give Zipato a last chance with the Zipatile.

Is the Zipatile with Zigbee available now? Zipabox store states 29.12.16, but no store seems to have it in stock. I have pre-ordered the Zipatile in April last year. Maybe there will be a one year aniversary for the open order? Hope not!

Yep, you are correct. I can only imagine that they have encountered another delay like before. This is the only thing that makes sense. Surely it should be available within a month.

Hello !! I managed to get one from 'importing Italian GBC !!


One of the few remaining pieces !!


But there are several hardware revisions? I would not have spent 400 euros for an old product !!


My Zipatile shows the following pattern on the package "zt.zweuzbee.g"


Thank you

Hi, any update? January just passed by ......

Hi, no reaction / feedback/ new information about the delivery status of the Zipatile ... this is quite annoying.

So I decided to cancel my order (made 10 month ago !) at Intellihome today. I will wait and see what kind of controllers will come up in the near future. Its 300.- € for the Zipatile and 2x 100.- € for the cluster function I have saved for now. The money I can now spend in a new system if needed. Until then I stay with my ZipaBox.

Regards,

Oliver

It was Intellihome I thought, but now I see it is available. Sorry, my mistake.

As they still did not send the Money back I might take the Zipatile ......
