Will Telldus ever get Homekit support?
Fibaro, Philips Hue and most of the other solutions out there, even IKEA Trådfri, now supports Homekit.
Will Telldus ever?
Yes, I know there are linux-based solutions like Homebridge or Home Assistant. I've tried them and they are terrible!
I want native Homekit support.
Is there any info on upcoming features and plans for the future of the Telldus platform?
I've had my Tellsticks Lite 2 for about a year now and it almost feels like Telldus is a platform about to be discontinued ...

What? How do I get my hands on that?
Re: Will Telldus ever get Homekit support?
Look up the IP address of your Tellstick, then access the local web interface in the Tellstick and activate the plug-in.
Your Tellstick must run FW 1.1.0.

- I add the plugin to my Tellstick
- click on the config wheel to get the homekit code
- read it using the Home app on my Iphone
... then it says it doesnt find any devices to add.

Re: Will Telldus ever get Homekit support?
.. or to be precise, it just sits at the screen where it tries to load accessories to add, with a loader spinner at the top right corner.
Nothing more happens!
First time I tried it found Tellstick, but when I clicked it I got an error message saying it couldnt be added.
After that I've retried several times, rebooted several times and also uninstalled and reinstalled the Homekit plugin.
No luck!

OK. I don't have any Apple products myself so I have no more advice to give.
For further assistance I recommend you to contact Telldus support:
http://support.telldus.com/
If you get it to work, it would be great if you could update this post with the solution/fix.

Re: Will Telldus ever get Homekit support?
I managed to get the HomeKit on iPad to find the TellStick but it complains that it's not certified. Fortunately that's not a showstopper but the next question is an eight digit code. My TellStick ZNet Lite v2 didn't have any 8 digit code on it!
Where do I find the code?

This code is found when you click on the settings icon on the installd Homekit plugin on your Tellstick.net local access.

Re: Will Telldus ever get Homekit support?
Thank you, the 8 digit code was found good. Unfortunately, once I tapped in the code the homekit-tellstick connection didn't succeed. I tried it many times but it timeouted every time.
Any advise?
