Tellstick Net udp listening

[dirtv]

Hi,

first I would like to thank you for that great product and mainly to open you protocol.

My question is about tellstick net protocol,

I have been successful to discover my tellstick net over udp broadcast and I would like to know how to listen to it.
To explain a little bit more, i have a remote control for my intertechno switches and since the status of them automatically update on live when i switch them with the remote,
i guess that tellstick net is able to listen to the commands I send with the remote and to send them to live.

So would it be possible to get a way to listen to the tellstick net over udp in local lan?
If yes what port would it be?

Thank you very much for your answers, and please pardon me for my English.

I must also add that via wireshark I do not see any udp message when i use the remote.

This is a work-in-progress project. In order to have local access you currently need a custom compiled firmware. And the reception part is not working yet either.

So for now, there is no equivalent of telldus-core RawDeviceEvent for tellstick Net?

And do you have an idea of when would that be possible?

And tried making the custom firmware but it ended like that:

May it be because my version of tellstick net is 2?

Thank you for your answer!

Not without a custom firmware.

I don't know if there is something different in later version of the compiler? We have tried the following versions with success:

Code: Select all

$ picc18 --help
HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC18 MCU Family (Lite)  V9.63PL3

and

Code: Select all

$ picc18 --help
HI-TECH C PRO for the PIC18 MCU Family (Lite) V9.65

Just tried the 9.80 version and got the exact same problems as you.

Ok now it's working,
so firmware X installed!

But still no packet seen in wireshark while using the remote.
When you said "a" custom firmware, you didn't mean that custom firmware or?

Would it be possible to have a little bit more documentation of what could be done with this firmware?

I've seen that there are some tcp/ip files, would that mean that a connection should be instantiated to get tellstick Net output?

Thanks again!

After almost a day trying to get the 9.80 version to compile the firmware, this is the results.
Microchip has added a "C18 Compatibility mode" which the tcp/ip stack unintentionally (?) sets. This breaks the build. Enabling this mode globally on the whole projects breaks everything. The solution for now is to either use an older version (9.63PL3, 9.65 and 9.66 tested) or wait for a patched tcp/ip stack from Microchip.
Older version can be found here:

But still no packet seen in wireshark while using the remote.

No, please read what I wrote above:

This is a work-in-progress project. In order to have local access you currently need a custom compiled firmware. And the reception part is not working yet either.

So, you can send commands, not receive from remotes. The reception is actually already there, it just doesn't send anything on the network.

Would it be possible to have a little bit more documentation of what could be done with this firmware?

You can also try the sample client application found in the client folder.

Ok thanks for the link but i ve seen them already,
I will wait for the reception part in that case and till then i'll just use live!

And yes, i built the firmware with the 9.63 compiler
