After several days of troubleshooting the "Tellstick not found" problem with my Tellstick Duo (batch 2, firmware v4) on Ubuntu 14.04 (x86 machine) and Raspberry Pi (tried several different Wheezy versions) I finally managed to solve it yesterday! And as with most problems, once you have the solution it's really easy. To save some gray hairs for everyone else struggling with this problem I post my solution here.
Here's what I did (Raspberry Pi B, Wheezy 2014-01-07):
1) Upgraded the firmware to latest version 12 (don't know if this was really necessary but did it anyway). Instructions are here http://developer.telldus.se/wiki/Firmware
2) Installed the latest Telldus Core software, v2.1.2. Instructions are here http://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellS ... tionUbuntu
Skip the first half of the page and follow the "Console based installation" instructions further down the page.
I did not need to mess with udev rules, nor did I need the fdti_sio module (this requirement was removed in version 2.1.0 I believe). So many other installation instructions on the web are incorrect and out of date!
3) Make sure your /etc/tellstick.conf contains the following lines (this is key to getting it working - so don't just copy your old tellstick.conf without adding the deviceNode and controller sections):
Code: Select all
user = "nobody"
group = "plugdev"
deviceNode = "/dev/tellstick"
ignoreControllerConfirmation = "false"
controller {
id = 1
# name = ""
type = 2
serial = "AE01DIR6"
}
Code: Select all
device {
id = 1
name = "Vardagsrum taklampa TV"
protocol = "arctech"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "H"
unit = "1"
}
}
After restarting the machine (and making sure the /etc/init.d/telldusd was started successfully) I could finally control the lights using tdtool --on 1
Good luck!
