I got the OFFICIAL response from Centralite yesterday regarding the 3420. It is not good news. Basically everything it does not do, the spec is incorrect. Apparently much of the spec sheet was based on some product(s) made for other companies or such...
- Changing the color: Only directly on the device NOT via ZigBee.
- Temperature sensor: Nope. None of their mains-powered devices have one.
- Power outage notification: Nope. Does not provide any notification.
- Button on the back near the power plug: It is a TAMPER SWITCH... that was never implemented in the firmware and will never work/report.
- Battery level: Nope. The battery level is not reported via ZigBee. They did mention that "according to some tests" it should recharge fully within 12 hours. They also said that the battery should allow it to act as a ZigBee repeater for over 24 hours (if it was fully charged). So that is one piece of good news.
- OTA Update: It could, supposedly. However there is no newer firmware for it, none was ever made, none will ever be made.
So... that is the end of this one. Very cool sounding product but overall not worth it once you find out most of the features actually do not exist. I can still dream of something similar though. Just really do not want to prototype my own and go the hubduino or other WiFi route...
