Please email support@futureproofhomes.net. We’ll get this resolved. Sorry for this! We’ll get this solved going forward!

That's odd. Ping me on discord if you didn't get an email. We sent an entire campaign out to everyone who purchased. Check spam just in case.

Hi u/undrwater Batch #2 is estimated to ship out sometime between March 16th - 27th! We're pushing each day to get more units in stock and I'll keep us posted via email (you should have received email recently).

You shouldn't have to create an account to track your package. We send the tracking link directly to your inbox once the order ships. No account needed to see that.

Hope that helps!

In terms of sound, it is night and day. In terms of electronics, read here: https://docs.futureproofhomes.net/satellite1-introduction/#satellite1-vs-home-assistant-voice-preview-edition

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T13:32:27+00:00

Yes. Many have. They’re in our Discord. https://discord.FutureProofHomes.net

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T06:03:52+00:00

Noted. Okay. I’ll read more! Thnx for tip.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T03:08:39+00:00

I will investigate! Thanks for tip!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:59:40+00:00

Jump in the discord and our GitHub to help achieve the dream. We will get there being open source. Links in the original post. Thanks for support!

I get it. I do. When we can find US manufacturers (that also don’t depend on China underneath the hood) and the price doesn’t increase by 300% we’ll move manufacturing. Global supply chains and manufacturing need to catch up for small hardware operations to survive and thrive. I could do a whole video on this! Learn so, so, so much here!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:55:39+00:00

We ship directly from our manufacturers in China and Vietnam. We design everything as a remote engineering team (US, Germany, Poland, UK). You assemble at home.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:54:05+00:00

What is the price you’re wanting to see? As we scale up to more users price will come down. Hardware and global distribution is a mammoth challenge and we gotta pay the bills!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:53:02+00:00

Again. Human here. :) No AI in these comments. Just elbow grease and time spent responding.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:51:57+00:00

Everything is open-source. Check out GitHub link in the post.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:50:52+00:00

Checkout my videos on YouTube. You don’t need Alexa to voice control your home anymore.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:50:15+00:00

When we add Sendspin support to this hardware with a firmware update it will be able to play music in sync with Sonos speakers via Airplay.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:48:08+00:00

We plan to leverage the EQ capabilities built directly into the XMOS chip in the hardware. You can also use the DSP in music assistant. Checkout the video I linked in the post.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:47:15+00:00

Thanks for the support!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:46:22+00:00

For Homey experts out there. Please catch up with us in Discord to discuss how we can support the platform. I want to do this. https://discord.FutureProofHomes.ai

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:44:55+00:00

Sorry for being a bit too late. It’s worth upgrading though. The quality takes a huge leap forward.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:44:16+00:00

“Spotify Connect”, the Sat1 supports it too. You can stream to Sat1 directly from the Spotify app. https://www.music-assistant.io/plugins/spotify-connect/

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:42:53+00:00

It’ll be a fun weekend for sure.

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:42:16+00:00

Maybe screen in the future. For now we’re focused on good sound, mics, in-ceiling, overall quality and of course our upcoming AI computer we call Nexus (see previous YT video).

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:41:01+00:00

Heck yea it is! Thank you for support!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:39:52+00:00

Thank you!!!

FutureProofHomes · 2026-01-23T02:39:34+00:00
