I think they took about 2 weeks. Most stuff I get from there is less than 3.

3v Step Down Converters for Sensors

Just got my first one of these installed. Stupid holidays always getting in the way of the fun stuff! Wired it into the USB adapter for a HEMv1, stuck it in the battery compartment of the Iris keypad, and it works great so far!

Not sure if I mentioned this above, but anyone that wants to do this, remember to put the voltage regulator as close to the device it’s going to power as possible. Since you are dropping voltage, you want the st…
