anyone know if there will be any drivers and a way to control any brand of ductless HVAC unit?

What do you mean 'will there be any drivers' do you mean specifically for ductless HVAC units?

The page you link is just a splash for the new INTERFACE included with 2.7. It's a very nice and improved interface - but it's just that, an interface. It as such has nothing to do at all with being able to use ductless systems.

 

To have a 'driver' you need something to interface WITH a ductless system that can communicate back to C4, and most ductless units I've seen use proprietary remotes or wall units - not much chance of getting anything for that - too scattered.

I suppose Chowmain's IR thermostat units may work in a number of scenario's: https://www.houselogix.com/shop/generic-thermostat-driver - not sure of functionality within 2.7/the new interface, but perhaps Alan can comment on that.

 

The only units that I've seen that can handle a normal 24VAC thermostat are enviromaster commercial units - those could be integrated no problem at all - just pick your integrateable thermostat of choice.

It seems I'

m seeing more and more ductless units and C4 has no easy way to talk to them,,

Problem is not so much C4 not being able to talk to them, but the units not being able to talk to anyone - like I said, perhaps Alan's IR option can do the job for you - but beyond that, I'm not sure what could be done beyond using units that can hook up to a normal t-stat.
