Reference Info
Description
The Tellstick is a power control 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 and power off.
Setup
The device is plug and play for LMCE, but at this point you'll need to add the driver software yourself. Install the telldus-core package as described here [2]
Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main
If you want to try the latest beta software, also add the following: deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ unstable main
The Telldus public key for apt-secure is added with wget -q http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key -O- | sudo apt-key add -
The key fingerprint is 70C4 10C9 D73D 53E8 38B3 1C58 5A94 9181 E501 EA76 Telldus Technologies AB <info.tech@telldus.se>
Update the repository sudo apt-get update
To install telldus-core, do sudo apt-get install telldus-core
Adding lights
- web admin -> Show devices tree -> Telldus USB RF controller
- Create Child Device -> Pick device template -> take your pick (I added "Light Switch (on/off)")
- Device data -> Port/Channel Number -> HousecodeUnitcode -> save (codes correspond to the device ID you've set in /etc/tellstick.conf)
