TellStick Net beta firmware
A beta for TellStick Net has been in use by a few of our beta testers for a while now, and since the included features are needed by some of you, we are making the beta public. It can be downloaded here: http://download.telldus.com/TellStick/Software/firmware/beta/TellStickNetBeta12.hex
Use for example this program (for windows) do flash the firmware: http://download.telldus.com/TellStick/Software/TellStickNetFlasher/TellStickNetFlasher.zip
Extract the flasher program, drag-and-drop the hex-file to the program icon. Then select your TellStick Net in the list, ignore the "Already up to date"-message. If you after that check the "My locations"-tab in Telldus Live! it should say version 12.
New features and fixes since the last stable release:
- Can receive Hasta protocol, both old and new
- Fix bug where some motion detectors/magnetic switches gets different house/unit code for on and off - If you can't scan one of those devices, please test this firmware
- Checksum validation for fineoffset (one temperature sensor type), means less false positives
- Changed the way the Oregon Scentific protocol is received, this should improve reception but needs additional testing - If you experience worse reception, downgrade and let us know
- More precise server assignment logic allows for a TellStick Net to be placed on a certain server, which may be useful for beta testers
- Some minor bug fixes
Please report any problems/feedback to us. We have no known issues so far, but remember that it's a beta.

Would it be possible to make a similar beta for the Tellstick Duo? I have a Duo with both fineoffset and oregon sensors running, and would love to beta test.
I've installed version 12 and successfully "learned" a light switch. Now I would like to do several actions when Telldus Live recieves a signal from the switch. I can't find anywhere to do that in Telldus Live, and I think not in the API either. It should be possible to have a listener.php file which recieves an API call from Telldus Live whenever there's a signal from the switch, and then it should be up to me, the user, to decide what to do with that signal.
Hello, I tested the beta fw and it did get the same house and unit for both on and off for my magnetic switches (though the off addresses did flip a bit).
The problem was when I added the switches as devices in live they did not update status when recieved so the result for me was not any better than with fw4. (when listening with a duo and trigging on/off from live the right addresses were sent so the problem seems to be in the recieve in live ?)

How is it possible to flash the firware by using FTP Server ? What is Tellstick Net IP adress ?
@fabrice le gal, not FTP but tftp, see instructions here: http://developer.telldus.com/wiki/How_to_restore_a_bricked_TellStick_Net
when will this firmware be official?
my NET have firmware 6 since I was in the original test beta group Since this blog says version 12 I thought I should try an upgrade. The upgrade fails reporting already version 6. Did you mix up version numbers here? Version 6 = version 12 = ???

@steinar johansen We want to add a few more things before releasing it officially, so there will be additional beta versions first.
Did you drag and drop the correct .hex-file onto the icon of the flash program?
I've tried to update my Tellstick Net with the latest Hex12-beta firmware but it always stuck when "entering bootloader" is showned. I have tried on a Win7 and Win 8 computer doing the exact steps. Any ideas?
