Bluetooth 4.2, what about the future of home hubs?

[brigidino]

Hi,

what do you think ?

Buyng an hub today will be good or better to wait the ne trchnology?

Thanks for answer

We can technically add this via USB at some point in the future.
Right now it doesn't make much sense, as there are exactly zero BLE 4.2 devices in the market.

Pls try to let me understand,

The bth 4.2 would be connected by ipv6 also and i think some internet portal would be created to create triggers and communicate with the devices.

For people like me that does not have any device must wait the new technology because in my opinion will be cheaper than actual, only because the frequencies, actually are 3 and the producer has to buid 3 version.

Sorry, what?
Bluetooth 4.2 isn't available, there are no products and no-one knows how well it'll work, don't you think you're jumping the gun just a little bit?

Dear Lars

I think very shortly something will be available, i think my doubt could be undestood from many users like me.

I'm also very interested in router and i'm scared that his exit will be late and other technology approaching the market.

My suggestion for you is to be available very soon.

Hold on there... I wouldn't advocate chasing 4.2 until clear use cases emerge. There is no benefit to be out there before everyone else. As Lars said, a USB implementation could be possible. This could be a distraction.

Thanks for all your support, Lars.

I do not want to distract, but to clear my dubt, remain the fact that i still want to buy the almond plus and i wish the release ASAP.

Regards

That's the plan, but it won't be until early next year now.
