    more.

    Does anybody know whats up? I got no response from Smarthome for a

    So I know this thread is like 13 years old...

    I think when they moved their assembly line to china and the quality dropped through the floor, that is what killed them.

    They also seem to have gotten into a pissing match with China, hence the
    lack of stock for the last year or two. I've been slowly changing over to newer gear and waiting for the green light on the hub to go red and stay
    that way when they shut off the servers.
