Questions about buying
Is the free firmware really free forever?
Yes. No account, no trial, no expiry — it’s the product, not a demo.
Is anything a subscription?
Only Yearly: $24.99 a year (up to 5 controllers), sold in the app through Apple or Google, auto-renewing, cancel anytime (terms). Lifetime is $149.99 once. Buying Lifetime doesn’t cancel Yearly — cancel it in the App Store or Google Play.
Can I start free and add a plan later?
Yes. The same board upgrades in place, keeping everything you’ve set up. The 10-day free trial starts when you add your first controller.
Does the kit need a plan too?
No — a Lifetime code is in the box.
What does installation cost?
It depends on your roofline, so we quote it — usually the same day, with a lowest price guarantee.
Do you install outside Florida?
We install in Okaloosa County. Elsewhere, any permanent-lighting installer can put Chameleon up, or hand a kit to your own contractor.
I’m an installer. Is there a trade price?
Lifetime is $149.99 per account (up to 5 controllers), or $119.99 each for 10 or more in one order. Nothing to join — see Become an installer.
