This looks very interesting. Do you already have the outdoor video doorbell?

Thanks Benjie.  We don't, but we are integrating with SkyBell so that if someone rings your SkyBell, it will alert your Nucleus.

does it have ability to work w/o internet with local mesh and store locally?
for someone that doesn't have data connection or when it goes down,
it would still be worth it for the x-wiring and video capabilities.

The communication would work locally with just the mesh and no Internet.  It would not have storage capabilities though without access to an online cloud.

Seems great for people who do not want an internet browser at home!
You can also activate Alexa on it, so you wouldn't need a separate Echo.

Looks like the single pack is cheaper per unit than the double pack. Price mistake?

So you really are good at tracking people down!

yeah, I saw it for $149 as well but didn't post it because I assumed it was a price mistake and should be $249. it is a frum owner after all...

Hey guys, I'm the founder of Nucleus.  I appreciate you being so sensitive about the price mistake but honestly, enjoy!  They're selling it for not much above what it costs us to make it, so this is a great deal (but I'm a little biased). 

If you have any questions for me, I'm happy to answer them.

Welcome! Is what OP said true -- that it can replace the need for buying a stand-alone Alexa?

We worked very closely with Amazon on integrating Alexa into Nucleus (in fact, Amazon later ended up investing in the company).  It should work exactly like an Echo with the following exceptions:

• When music is playing, Nucleus will have trouble hearing "Alexa" [we're working on a fix]
• You currently can't play Pandora or Spotify on Nucleus due to licensing issues [also being worked on]

However, it can also do things Echo can't - for example, because we have a screen, you can pause / FF/ rewind songs directly from the screen.

Very cool! Any idea at this time when those fixes might be released?

Hearing "Alexa" during music playback should be within the next few weeks and will be rolled out as a software update.  Pandora/Spotify will take longer.

Just bought a few for my house to use for an intercom system, but haven't had time to set it up yet. Is a call all feature in the works? This is a feature that is more standard with conventional intercoms, and based on reviews is not available yet...

Thanks

Thanks for buying!

It's our most-requested feature so it's something we hope to build soon.  That being said, it will probably be early next year before it is implemented.
