Due to unprecedented global circumstances the ability to feasibly produce new Dekunu devices has been depleted.
The team has exhausted every avenue in an attempt to restart manufacturing but with no visible light at the end of the tunnel some tough decisions have to be made.
Therefore, Dekunu is on hold until the situation changes.
Updates on restock will be posted on social media as soon as that light shines down that tunnel…
Thank you for your continued support and patience.
The Team @ Dekunu
What does this mean for existing Dekunu users?
You shouldn’t notice anything. The Dekunu Cloud Portal and Device API will remain fully functional - There should be no change to your device or cloud experience.
Customer support will continue to be available with a reduced capacity

Be good to hear some news from the Dekunu team, even if just to check in and say hi
Have a Yepzon ONE and saw those guys went bust this week; does worry me if you guys aren’t generating any revenue how you’re covering the cloud costs? I am sure existing customers wouldn’t actually mind paying a nominal fee to support the cloud services if it came to it?
In my opinion Dekunu gets an F for failure. I am and have been disappointed with this device and the cloud. Both the device and ‘the cloud’ have been filled with glitches. The concept is great, the hardware not so. The cloud means that all my jump info is free data to be used by Dekunu for whatever they choose to do with it. I watched a YouTube video of the owner talking about how the data can be used.
I like how there is 0 answers about this in more than a year.
It would be great to have an open conversation about this, I know there is lots of IT oriented people who would love to help with this project, there is lots of people who could help with the data center resources and licences. But all that goes to bits.
Me personally, I would like to have an open coversation on what is actually going on, are you still not able to buy chips or it is just the question of money now? sooner or later this has to go somewhere, do you have a plan? do you want to kill the product or do you want to make it open source? Or you are waiting for enough users to drop out to just kill it? There is millions of questions and millions of answers, as well as millions of options to go about this issue, and I do not accept the notion that you have depleted all options to continue working when other companies are launching same type of product and somehow they are still working.
Yearly check in. We are now in 2024 and it’s been radio silent for 2 years.
And we talk about the future? Any updates? Version 2 visions? A roadmap for coming back / exit strategy? Open source the project and let us work on it?
Well I guess that’s that then, the writing is on the wall for the future
It does surprise me that they couldn’t find alternative ways to manufacture, or even redesign to account for different process or components? But when you’re talking the low volume sales of a device like this, I guess it might not be financially viable. AoN2 have other products in their portfolio to spread the revenue…
The future is what worries me, for however long my device lasts for. The cloud, the sync, the stuff I actually saw the value in. A future subscription model maybe?
It would be nice to hear some kind of statement from Brent Chandler as to why things turned out like they did; the announcement email left you asking so many questions.
If you’re going to “eat shit, don’t nibble” as they say - lay it out, tell us what happened.
This is a bit troublesome… if this project is going to be abandoned why would they not open source it so that the users and loyal consumers of this product can take it upon themselves to make sure everything continues to run smooth and continues to make improvements. Pretty sad to not have a response to this inquiry 5 months later and radio silence for 2 and a half years…
I am also a bit concerned about the lack of communication. If you are hopeful or planning to come back into the game, the only way people are going to trust in you is communication. If you are done, just pop up the exit strategy. A few of us have voiced the interest in hosting the cloud and device software and providing updates if possible. Are you currently looking to sell the source?
Dekunu. What?
You go ahead and make the best altimeter, Barely give it a chance to truly “take off,” then stop producing them, then ask about it’s future, and than basically say “yeah, we’re about done with this so uhhh… yeah… we’ll be in touch.”
Just sell it! The whole business. To someone who cares stonger. Or… just open-source it!
Please.
In truth, ive always wanted one of these. I first learned about the Dekunu One in January of 2022. I couldn’t afford one at the time and when I was able to, they had stopped selling them. Now I find one in great condition for a fair price, and you say that it might become a paperweight soon?!?!
Dekunu. This is not a hard decision. Step aside. Give it away. We want it. Just let go. Green light has been on for awhile. Jump already!!!
