I realise we're in early stages, not a full production run, these are dev releases etc - but It is just me that's a little surprised at this pricing?

I'd understood the aim was to hit £10 for a brand new valve at retail, so £45 for non-perfect presumably un-waranteed unit seems quite a long way from that, and actually more expensive than (say) the evohome valve. I guess there's still an argument there that the OpenTRV's light sensor will produce a bigger saving than the evohome (and open source is a good thing, albeit not something I think many end-users will care much about), though arguably the evohome has some nice features that OpenTRV is [currently] missing, like full 2 ways comms.

Is the original £10 per valve that was talked about still considered realistic?

Cheers,

Joseph
