Telldus is a Swedish smart home brand owned and marketed by Telldus Technologies AB. It sells gateways such as the TellStick, TellStick ZNet and the newer Hub 1 and Hub 2, plus 433 MHz, Z-Wave and Zigbee devices. Everything is controlled through the Telldus Live cloud service and its mobile app.
Telldus gateways connect to your router and link a radio side (433 MHz, Z-Wave or Zigbee, depending on the model) to Telldus Live. The older TellStick Net and ZNet Lite models are 433 MHz and Z-Wave gateways, Hub 1 adds Zigbee 3.0, and Hub 2 is described as Matter-ready with a built-in Thread border router. Some local control exists, but setup and many features still go through Telldus' account and cloud.
That suits people with existing 433 MHz remote-controlled sockets and dimmers, or Swedish and Nordic homes already on Telldus, who want one app and a voice assistant on top. It is weaker if you want automations without a subscription, because schedules and automations sit behind Telldus Premium, and the older app has very low ratings on the App Store since that change.

The official companion app for Telldus Live. It sets up a TellStick, controls devices and sensors, runs schedules, shows a dashboard and history, and supports geofencing and push notifications. The listing says it controls locally when the phone is on the same network as the TellStick. It is free with in-app purchases for Telldus Live Premium, and recent reviews on the App Store are very negative, mainly about scheduling moving behind Premium. Published by Telldus Technologies AB. The Android link uses the package name shown in a third-party app tracker, and we could not load the Google Play page itself to confirm it.
A rebuilt app that combines device control, rooms, automations, notifications and history under one login, covering Zigbee, 433 MHz, Z-Wave and Bluetooth devices. Telldus says it uses the same backend as Telldus Live, so existing devices and automations carry over, and that it will replace the hub 1 app under the same store listing once the beta ends. Telldus says Telldus Live will be maintained but gets no new features. The article, published 24 March 2026 and updated 13 May 2026, gives no store links.
Telldus' product page says hub 1 is installed with the hub 1 app, after which devices are controlled through Telldus Live on the web or in the app. We could not find a separate store listing for it. Telldus says the new app will take over its store listing.

433 MHz
Yes
The Telldus site lists 433 MHz as a product system. Its 433 MHz motion sensor works with TellStick ZNet Lite v2 and needs a TellStick Net V1/V2 or ZNet Lite V2. TellStick Net v2 was announced as a 433 MHz send and receive gateway without Z-Wave. Hub 1's page says a TellStick can be kept alongside the hub to control 433 MHz, Z-Wave and Zigbee devices from one account.
The Telldus developer blog describes TellStick ZNet Lite as the Z-Wave model, and the Telldus app listing mentions Z-Wave association and configuration. The new app article lists Z-Wave devices. We could not confirm from the pages we read whether Hub 2 has a Z-Wave radio.
Hub 2 connects to the network by Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz) or Ethernet. Hub 1's page describes an Ethernet connection. TellStick Net models connect to the router over the network.
The new app article lists Bluetooth devices, and Hub 2's FAQ has a Bluetooth question, but the answer is not shown on the pages we read. We could not confirm what Bluetooth is used for.
Telldus calls Hub 2 Matter-ready from day one, with Matter over Thread and Wi-Fi. The page does not say whether the hub acts as a Matter bridge or controller, so how Telldus devices appear in other Matter ecosystems is not confirmed. Hub 1 is not listed as a Matter product.
Telldus says all products controlled via a TellStick work with Google Assistant. The FAQ answers do not describe the setup steps, and we could not confirm whether Premium or a particular hub is required.
Telldus documents an Alexa skill: sign in to Amazon and Telldus accounts, enable the Telldus skill, run device discovery and then control selected devices by voice in English.
Telldus documents Siri through shortcuts created in the Telldus app for turning a device on or off. The FAQ says this needs a Premium account and iOS. It does not describe Apple Home or HomeKit support directly, so a HomeKit route is unconfirmed. A community Homebridge plugin, homebridge-telldus, appeared in search results but was not opened.
Telldus' pages we read do not mention SmartThings. We did not search for a SmartThings integration specifically.

IFTTT
Not mentioned
IFTTT shows applets for turning Telldus Live devices on and off with Google Assistant. We did not open the applets or an IFTTT Telldus service page, so we could not confirm who publishes the service or what plan is needed.
A built-in Telldus Live integration connects to TellStick Net or ZNet hardware through the Telldus Live cloud, and its page says this needs a Telldus Premium subscription. A local option exists only for ZNet Lite and supports a single device. The integration is listed as Cloud Polling. A separate, legacy TellStick integration covers 433 MHz devices through a local TellStick and is community maintained. Telldus does not maintain either one.
Athom publishes a Telldus app that adds 433 MHz Telldus devices (a button, a motion sensor, a contact sensor and two sockets) to Homey. It lists Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and marks every device as needing a Homey Bridge. This pairs the devices to Homey directly rather than through a Telldus gateway. A separate community Telldus Live app by Bjornar Almli adds sensors, dimmers and switches from Telldus Live, with a local connection for ZNet Lite v2. Its listing shows version 1.3.0 updated about four years ago, and a Homey forum thread about it has a title asking for a new developer, which we did not open.
A Tellstick binding is in openHAB's add-on list. It supports three connection types: Telldus Core (local USB), Telldus Live (cloud) and Telldus Local (REST). The table lists TellStick Basic, Duo, Net v1 and v2 and ZNet Lite v1 and v2, with 433 MHz switches, dimmers and sensors. The page shows no deprecation notice. The binding is maintained by openHAB, not Telldus.
We searched for a Domoticz page about Telldus and the results did not include one, so we could not confirm either way.

Third-party apps

The At Home app, published by Magne Roald and not by Telldus, shows Telldus Live devices next to HomeKit, Adax and Tibber. It needs a Telldus Live account, costs $5.99 and runs on Apple devices.
Telldus runs a developer site. Its blog describes the Telldus Live API, including an events API and an API explorer. It also describes a GPL custom firmware for local-only access with protocol documentation and a Python sample client, aimed at TellStick Net v3 and Duo v5 according to the post, and TellStick developer documentation covers a local API. We did not open the API terms or confirm which current Hub models support the local API.
