2GIG states that these started shipping on Nov 23rd.
Any ETA for availability and pricing via suretyDIY?
Thanks.

Here’s a description for others interested:

At this time there are no plans to add this to the suretyDIY store.

For one time use (or rather one panel use) it does not provide much benefit. The attached cable is very short, and to add new firmware still requires use of a PC with windows 7 or 8.

Designed for people who are updating multiple panels a day to the same firmware.

Firmware v1.14 is a perfect example of when the Easy Updater would simplify upgrades. Flash the updater one time to v1.14, use it to upgrade the GC2 panel, then rotate to each additional TS1 panel (v1.14 requires a TS1 upgrade). I have 3 TS1s… so this would simplify vs using a laptop.
