New shipment date for Homey?

JonJon Member

Hi Homey Team,

Any further news on the final shipping date for our (Kickstarter) homeys? It's been a couple of weeks since the last newsletter, so curious if you have a more defined timeframe now ;) !!

    We're still waiting on the injection mold. Expect 1.5 to 2 months for the first batch backers!

  • JonJon Member

    Oops, that's a bit of a delay :(
    Was hoping on any day in June but alas.

    Trust that it's all worth the wait...!

  • Fire69Fire69 Member

    Hm, too bad, apparently more delays than you anticipated.
    That's a long time to way just for those cases :(

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    I know! We wish it'd go faster as well, but that's just how long it takes them..

  • djeskodjesko Member

    Can we that made "normal" orders expect delivery right after backers ? , keep up the good work!

  • So 1,5 month has passed, so just wondering when kickstart backers AND pre-orders (I was just a bit late) can start sitting at home expecting homey :)

  • Time flies when you're having fun (on the Athom forum :p)
    @Emile, what's the current status or are you guys busy on packing the first batch then you can ignore these messages :D

  • ReflowReflow Member

    I'm also curious when i can get my hands on Homey hehe! Can't wait to see how far we can go with this little helpfull friend!

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    Mid July for the first batch is going to be a little optimistic, but it does not seem to be far off. An exact date is hard to predict, a lot is coming together right now!

    The two months are almost over, what is the status?

  • In an other discussion you posted:

    Super backer + First batch: Mid July
    Geek: Beginning of august
    Regular: Mid august
    (Very) Early birds: End august

    here you said

    Mid July for the first batch is going to be a little optimistic, but it does not seem to be far off. An exact date is hard to predict, a lot is coming together right now!

    So what will be the new estimates? I am going to move in august so i need to know when i get my geek edition homey. Current date is old adres, new date can possibly be new adres.

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    Yes, we've got some delay. I hope to make the end of this month for the first batch!

    @Emile is everyone getting the choice before shipment where it should be shipped to? I'm not sure if i want to ship it to my home address or to my work address. I really don't want to miss the delivery of Homey so on workdays i'd like to get it shipped to my work address and saturday on my home address hehe..

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    Yes, before we ship you'll get an e-mail where you can change your address!

  • @Emile , is it safe to assume any delay will have it's effect on the entire schedule. So a 2 weeks delay on the first batch will also mean 2 weeks delay on the batches for pre-orders?

  • PauluzPauluz Member

    @Emile, I think what Phuturist and we all want to know is that the current delay your having is due to development or production issues?

  • MarcoFMarcoF Member

    +1 for more info (about the reason of the delay)!

    5 weeks ago we had the last 1 million euro update, so money couldn't be the issue.

  • EmileEmile Administrator, Athom

    We're having some troubles with the flashing process.. we cóuld ship, but that'd mean that a Homey could never be re-flashed at home, which I don't want to risk. For example, when we ship a bad update, and it bricks your Homey, it would be dead currently. We want everyone to be able to fix a Homey by just plugging it in a PC.

    So we're working on that 24/7 right now. Next to that, we had some small problems, we'll post about that probably next Friday through Kickstarter! I think we're delayed for a month right now since the last update (where I said half July), but it's hard to say if it's going to be earlier or later!

  • ZiglarZiglar Member

    i guess no one likes a delay, but really no one likes bricks...
    thank u for the update @emile

  • So the first batch of Homey's will be send out at earliest at the end of this month?

  • Emile said they are delayed for a month since half july, so the first shipment would be half probably be august then

  • Ok, thanks.

  • Any update on fixing the issue?

  • MarcoFMarcoF Member

    The are working 24/7 on fixing the problem....
    Maybe next friday an (kickstarter) update....
