@slief, thanks again for setting this up. Do you have any idea how soon they ship orders?
I ordered 2 to evaluate.
I don’t but I will follow up with them tomorrow and update accordingly. I would have figured they would ship almost immediately but never asked to confirm.
I am in for
7x 4x12 white
2x 4x10 white
Edit: added 6x 4x12 white for a friend.
Total of 15 units…

Right on!!! Thanks for joining us on this buy!
Tom,
I spoke with Econet and they said people should be receiving their orders between this Weds and this Friday depending on where they are located.

Cool… thanks. Weekend project!!!
Just a reminder to any of you who have not completed your purchase or who are on the fence. Today is the last day this group buy will be open so if you do want some of these vents at the $55 price, go ahead and place your orders before it’s too late.
Did any of you get any shipping information (tracking number?). I got nothing so far…
I got my tracking number today. They are shipping via DHL from Canada.
Wow, I live in Seattle, got the notification that it shipped via DHL yesterday… arrived today!
Unfortunately what I am using them for is really not that complex, I am not creating a multizone system, really I just wanted an automated way to Open them or close them depending on the season (winter or summer) for a few that are so hard to reach that I can’t do it manually easily.
Basically, when the heat is on in the Winter open a few in the downstairs. When the AC is on in the Summer, close a few downstairs. So that is what I am setting up. I will probably join them to the Vera tomorrow and try them out, but not install them until my battery conversion kits arrive which should be any day now.

Damn, that’s fast! I guess I should have mine tomorrow or Friday then. Not that I’m in a big hurry or anything but it will certainly give me a weekend project which I don’t mind at all. Especially since I just got done mounting an iPad in my wall for a central control point for my home automation. I had planned on tackling that this weekend but decided to do it when I got home today.
I started a seperate thread so that we could share our setups, programming and ideas. Once you get the installed, please chime in there!

I just bought a couple. Thank you for setting this up.
I’d like to order more if they add more sizes.
Got 2 for myself and thank you for getting this setup.
Guys,
The group buy exceeded expectations… Thank you all for contributing. I spoke with Blake this morning and he will be extending the group buy through Saturday 6/6 so that anybody who missed out or just happened upon this thread can still take advantage of the offer. I’ve also come to find out that the DHL method appears to be next day air so I expect many if not most of you will be receiving your vents in the next day or so.
Anyhow, thanks again for your support. I am looking forward to getting mine installed and hopefully learning a bit from those with more Vera programming experience!
Woohoo! I received my order of 5 vents today.
Overall build quality is really nice. As previously mentioned, the vent is metal and hence looks and feel solid.
Well documented instructions are included.
Very convenient to be able to remove the Zwave unit for pairing purposes and changing batteries, etc…
The little translucent plastic window with the EcoNet logo on it is not easy to replace with a more plain cover.
Others have mentioned that you could cover over with tape. Only drawback is that when the vent is operating (i.e. opening or closing), a couple LED lights flash through the translucent window, so covering it up would lose that.
The only design wierdness that I see is the presence of a manual switch that can open and close the vent, but it manually turns the gears and is not easy. And the instructions say not to even use it. So, why is it even there??!!
There are 3 little buttons under the flip cover that allow you to wake up the motor (for pairing and manual operations) and a button to open and button to close. Hence, no reason for manual lever.
It paired up easily with my Vera Edge. Now I’m off to install the rest and start some PLEG conditions for my zoned heating and cooling!!! Awesome!
Got my 2 today 
Look good. Operating with the buttons is very smooth. As others have said there is a manual switch, but only on one of mine. The other doesn’t have it. I wonder if they have removed the manual button now.
Waiting to hear from support about fixing my Edge though because 7.0.8 bricked it 
so I can’t comment on how it works with Vera yet. Otherwise, looks good.
Still no shipping info for me. Guess I was late to the party…
My guess is you should be seeing the tracking number first of the week. It took a few business days to get mine shipped as did others so I’m sure you will have yours first to mid next week.
The good news is that they are worth waiting for. I got mine late last week and painted them Friday night. They came out perfect. After letting the cure for a couple days, I finally finished installing them a few minutes ago. After creating a few scenes to put them to good use, I am happy to report they work well and are really easy to install and setup! I’ve been waiting a long time for some sort of zone control in my house and glad to finally have something working that didn’t break the bank!
Any chance of this group buy getting extended. Would like to get a couple of vents.
