I am new here and quit new to Tellstick.

I have started to use https://home-assistant.io/ as the main platform for my devices, and would just recommend everyone to take a look at it.

It is free and open source. Made in Python and works on all platforms. It is supporting Tellstick devices, and I have tested it with Tellstick Duo.
It is easy to customize, add components and automation if you know Python.

sound interesting, i have looked at it and i think its similar to tellprox, but has more funtions, could it be installed on the same computer as tellprox, just to test it?
is it compatible with remotestick?
does it automaticly start when the computer starts up?

[dahoiv]

I think you can install it on the same computer as tellprox. But maybe only run one of them at the time.
I have not seen any support for Remotestick, but there is a own Android app: https://github.com/balloob/home-assista ... oid-tasker
It is easy to start the server automatically in Linux, and I guess that will be possible in Windows too.

ok, thank you,
i have installed it, but i cant start it,

im in the home-assistant-master folder, but i cant start it with the command: python3 -m homeassistant , i get the following error: it says that python3 isnt a valid command, or something,, its written in swedish, im not so good in translating.

You have to install Python3: https://www.python.org/downloads/

Is there documentation (or an example) on how to set up TellStick sensors in Home Assistant?
My tries have been unfruitful so far.

[tingo]

You need this in configuration.yaml:

Code: Select all

sensor:
  platform: tellstick
  datatype_mask: 127

which will get you all sensors.

does this work with tellstick net? The interface looks really nice, so i hope it works,

[tingo]

I don't know, I use a Duo.

Thanks for the tip, dahoiv. I have been looking for an alternative to openHAB which is too complex and resource hungry for my poor rPi, and HA seems perfect.

Still in development of course, but things seem to be on the right track.

My only "complaint" about Home Assistant so far is that It doesn't do sensor value graphs (like temperature) in a way that I'm happy with.

and that got fixed with the June 10th 2015 release. Now temperature sensors have graphs.

I´ve been looking into this software but not tried it yet.

You guys that use is:
Is it easy to setup and maintain?
Is there a community (forum?) around it more than the mailing list?
What platform are you running it on?

Today there is not a lot information about this combination (tellstick + home-assistant)

Thanks

I keep having problems getting this to work. My log files now says the following and I have a hard time finding answers out there. Anyone who has this working?
