Tellstick DUO not found on a Raspberry Pi Mod B+

Post by Dargosch »

Hi all,

I have a Tellstick DUO connected to a raspberry pi (Raspberry Pi Mod B+)

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi1 ~ $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. 
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1781:0c31 Multiple Vendors Telldus TellStick Duo
but I cannot connect to it:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi1 ~ $ tdtool -l
Error fetching devices: Could not connect to the Telldus Service
since the deamon is not running. The problem seems to be that I don't have a /dev/tellstick device set up.

How do I get it set up?

There's no need for a device set up at /dev/ for the service to work.

Have you followed a guide for setting up telldus core, like http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Tellstick_core?
I so, then you should be pretty close to a solution.

I'm going to assume you run Raspbian on your RPi, but the key question is probably whether you are running Raspbian Wheezy or Raspbian Jessie.
If you aren't sure which of them you have, you can run

Code: Select all

cat /etc/issue
If the file contains Raspbian GNU/Linux 7, it's Wheezy. If it's Raspbian GNU/Linux 8, it's Jessie.

If you're using Wheezy, you should be able to follow the guide mentioned above.
Running the service on Jessie requires setting up the service in a different manner, mentioned here: (in swedish) https://www.telldus.com/forum/viewtopic ... 625#p31963
