Beta testers wanted to test Amazon Alexa integration with TellStick

Amazon Alexa devices let you play music, control your smart home, get information, news, weather, and more using just your voice. It's the part "control your smart home" that is interesting to us.

We are currently testing integrating Telldus with the Smart Home Skill in Alexa. This allows you to control all your devices in Telldus Live! using your voice!

"Alexa, turn off the livingroom lights." "Alexa, turn on the garden lights." ...

Well, you get the picture. You can even initiate Alexa commands with "Computer, ...". As of now there is no actual self destruct sequence however, but some day we'll get there.

To be able to participate in this test you need to own an Alexa-enabled device, read more here

Sometimes beta software is not stable. If you (or your family) prefers to have a stable setup at all time, you might want to stay away from beta testing.

Update to mobile app beta

The closed tests for the new rewrite of the app is progressing well. A lot of issues has been found by the users and fixed by our developers. It's time for the next step, an open test!

As always. Beta software are not always stable. If you (or your family) prefers to have a stable setup at all time - you better don’t get into BETA testing.
