I thought they made it so other people could make z-wave chips now...

In theory. In practice, as of December 2022, only one company (Exegin) has beta tested the SiLabs new open zwave stack on their hardware. So they’re not a supplier for anyone.

Hopefully we will get it with the C9.

C8 doesn't look like a go.

They've just gone through FCC approval. I'm sure there's many months of software debugging and beta-testing ahead before any presumptive large-scale production and release.

IMO, all we know at this stage is that they are planning to release new hardware. And that the hardware has gone through FCC approval.

Interesting the input/output on that charger don't exactly match the stated input/output.

I'm not really enamored with USB-C. I like that it isn't directional like the micro-USB. However, it is not as secure in the socket and falls out much easier than the micro-USB or the mini-USB before that. Make USB-C (I guess then it would be USB-D) with some kind of detent so that it locks in when inserted. Now that would be a big improvement.

This thing isn't even on the market and we're planning the next one!!

Seems to me most the miscro-usb cords I have ever used tended to not be very secure after a couple months of use. Granted that's on cell a phone where it is connected and disconnected all the time. But something that is plugged in and left plugged in 99% of the time. they are about equal in that regard. To me the not having to turn it around three times to get it to fit is worth it.

These chipsets also include Bluetooth at least in some configurations. Not sure if the FCC docs would/should show that or not.
