Post by: etijburg on March 21, 2015, 09:25:59 pm

I am trying the TCP bulbs with the Almond+.  Has anyone gotten these to wok?

TCP bulbs don't work with the almond to my knowledge as they require their own hub and that hub doesn't connect with the almond. I am not even sure what protocol they use.

The current products use 6LoWPAN so you'll need their hub.
I'm in fact having a call with the company that made that hub next week to see if we can add support for it, just as we've done with the Hue hub.

From my understanding, TCP is moving to ZigBee though, but apart from some pre-announcements by Belkin, I haven't seen any news with regards to when they'll be available.
