Once the current batch of components arrive, I plan on running the numbers to see if I can make a permenent price reduction.
I've been getting killed on shipping prices, but ordering in larger quantities helps mitigate that.
The other persistent problem is finding components in stock within 5-10% of the regular price. Building out a bigger inventory helps here too.
I'm optimistic. My goal is to get down to $150. Stretch goal is to hit $129.99 (the same price as Google's cheapest Nest)
The joke's on me. I already have it priced ay $149.99 for the kit.
Oh what the heck, I'll drop it another $15 so the assembled version is $149.99. #yolo
Get it now before I realize I literally can't afford to keep doing this. LOL
Big news: Permanent price drop & international shipping!
Down to $150 fully loaded, assembled, flashed and ready to plug & play in North America.
Also, I've enabled shipping to Canada and Europe. I hope I don't regret that. 😅
