No sensor values on openSUSE

Post by Gildur »

Hi!

I just bought a Tellstick Duo so I am a bit fresh at this.

I downloaded the source for telldus-core-2.1.2 and telldus-gui-2.1.2.
It took a while to sort out the dependencies to successfully build and install it on my openSuse-box.

The problem:
The telldusd starts but I can't get any values from my sensors (Origon temp.&humidity).
Tried to hook it up on my windows-laptop and then I got values from them instantly.
  • dmesg shows that it found my TellStick Duo
  • The only thing I can se in the log files is: "telldusd daemon starting up"
  • "systemctl status telldusd.service" tells that the service is running
  • "tdadmin controller connect --pid=0c31 --vid=1781" returns no confirmation/information.
  • "tdtool -l" only returns the Example device and no sensors.
  • TelldusCenter does not show sensors either.
Any suggestion how to proceed would be much appreciated!

A bit further....

I noticed that it works if I choose to set user = "root" and group = "root" in "/etc/tellstick.conf" (for troubleshooting).

The result:
telldusd: telldusd daemon starting up
telldusd: Connecting to TellStick (1781/C31) with serial xxxxxxx

Now "tdtool -l" returns the values from my sensors.

Notice: the plugdev group does not exist in openSUSE by default.

The question for now is:
Should the OWNER/GROUP/MODE be changed in "/etc/udev/rules.d/05-tellstick.rules" to get this to work?
:wave:
