Description

The Tellstick is a power controller for cheap RF devices like the Nexa line. It's detected with LMCE's Plug-n Play. Currently only basic support is added, namely power on, power off and dimlevel. N.B. this is an RF tranmsmitter, it cannot read the state of the devices, nor can it receive data from remotes, sensors or other equipment sending an RF signal. Telldus have developed a device for this (Tellstick Duo) which is not supported at this time.

Setup

The device is plug and play for LMCE, software automatically downloaded and installed when you plug it into an USB port.


Adding lights

  1. web admin -> Show devices tree -> Telldus USB RF controller
  2. Create Child Device -> Pick device template -> take your pick (I added "Light Switch (on/off)")
  3. Device data -> Port/Channel Number -> Device ID -> save (codes correspond to the Device ID or Device Name you've set in /etc/tellstick.conf)
