    i've been seeing references to a decora version of the saturn keypad "coming soon" for quite a while now; does anyone know when it might actually appear?

    Yes - soon :)

    Sorry, I could not resist.

    Best is to contact your local sales & marketing people.

    I've heard that they're available. Suggest you contact your friendly SquareD reps and rattle their chain.

    Who's that rattle'n the SqD Chain?

    Latest news I have is that the order is about to be placed to ship the first batch from OZ to US so 4 - 5 weeks away given transport and customs etc.

    But check with your local SqD Lighting Control Sales Guy for the date that it will be available to buy.

    that's one *slow* boat

    i'm still getting quoted another 8 weeks before i'll get these from square D!

    maybe the reason this stuff costs so much in the U.S. is they're billing us for four months of storage?

    i don't know what the hopes are for selling c-bus in the U.S., but with my experiences so far i don't think you're going to get a lot of customers.

    apparently the U.S. is too small to bother with

    square D (the U.S. "distributor" for clipsal) has confirmed that they still don't have the decorator-style saturn keypads available, despite the fact that they apparently shipped from australia over 5 months ago. same story with the 4-zone thermostats. yeah, we're kind of a small country and technology backwater over here, but still... if you're wondering why U.S. sales seem low, i wouldn't blame the product.
