Not ready for primetime. Save your time, $ and expectations until after more firmware updates with basic features...
Overall, I'm not impressed and I think they threw it out there way below MVP. Right now, all it's good for is a motion light switch with a nightlight and a barely capable Alexa hub and HomeKit device. It barely wakes up and then takes 3 or 4 tries for it to understand the command, meanwhile all my other echo devices are performing the actions because they overhear it from the other rooms! There is no multi-room audio, no calling, no drop-in, no dimming, no 3-way switch capability, no hub recognition (where you can group lights to it and just say "Alexa lights on/off"), no temperature sensor integration to ecobee thermostats, no Wink or Stringify integration and practically no customization of the settings. So, basically, you have a small form dot combined with a dumb lutron occupancy sensor switch for $100. Originally in the beta rejection email, they said there would be other chances for testing. I think they did away with that and released an unfinished product as a paid second beta. Not cool. The only reason I didn't choose the lowest rating is because the "potential" exists for all of these features except dimming and 3-way switch capability.
