Absolutely! There are a few ones coming along in the future. The first one in our next generation gateways that was introduced last year is the TellStick Flow, a TellStick that uses Bluetooth as the communication protocol. It’s ability to provide secured, two-way communication with devices that cost similar to 433MHz ones opens up a whole new door to home automation. With this new TellStick, you can finally do more with less.
What will happen to Telldus Live?
Telldus Live, being the core for all the TellStick to provide powerful home automation services, will continue to offer new innovative services in the future, as all our TellStick, new and old, will depend on it.
As a matter of fact, we have recently uplifted the Telldus Live to become more green, and new services can be rolled out much faster, and become more reliable. All these were done totally behind the scenes. Even though you are seeing the same Telldus Live web pages and Telldus Live mobile apps, or the same Telldus API, underneath, it is no longer the same.
When will the TellSticks Net v2 / ZNet Lite v2 available again?
The hardware of the TellStick Net v2 and ZNet Lite v2 no longer satisfy future smart home demands, especially on protocols and their security requirements. Therefore we have decided to discontinue them in favour of a new breed of low cost, high performance solutions.
