Expected release date is Jul 15th 2022
While this is not a "sale" I consider it an incredible value for a state of the Zigbee switch with upgradeable firmware for future functionality. The feature set is unrivaled, and unlike a GE/Jasco Switch(Jasco is same price or more, but Inovelli has tons of other functions, with Smartthings, Hubitat and HA.
Don't believe me, watch how fast it sells out, just like the Red series did.
I just got lucky and noticed the pre-sale and wanted to share.

This being zigbee mehhh i steer clear of zigbee as it interferes with wifi.
I have a bulb, and it was finicky at first, but it seems better now. Their red series dimmers and on/off switches have been great for me. The worst was the fan/light switch, but their manufacturer basically gave them the finger on fixing it. So, I'm sympathetic with Inovelli on that. They're switching manufactures for the zigbee stuff. So, I'll likely get a zigbee fan/light switch.

my kitchen switch is solid red when the garage light was left on,
my stairs switch stays blinking red to remind the family whenever the downstairs night motion alarm is active,
my office switch next to my desk flashes specific colors for a few seconds to subtly inform me when family members are waking up (upstairs motion) or coming downstairs (downstairs motion) or arriving home (garage opens).
I believe the location of the switch is key to the usefulness of the notification light.

First, this could be used to control multiple standard LED light bulbs in a fixture, so you are spending the $45 once instead of multiple smart bulbs.
Secondly, this smart switch can be used in a 3- or 4-way configuration with dumb switches, so you only have to buy 1 smart switch instead of specialized smart switch sets.
Lastly, Inovelli makes very high quality switches, so you can expect good quality and good support. And for those of you need to home automation, Zigbee and Z-wave devices (like this one) can be controlled locally (without a cloud), which basically guarantees that these will continue to be usable even if Inovelli closes down. Keep in mind though, that you will need a Zigbee controller which adds some complexity to the initial setup, especially when comparing to Wi-Fi. And if you start setting up Home Assistant, you can expect to add many hours of management and configuration going forward, which may not be worth it to many people.

Does this blue series have a similar delay?
