TellStick setup on Raspberry Pi Raspbian [SOLVED]

[shahzaddddd]

Hi All

Wondering if anybody can help with setting up my tellstick on the Raspberry Pi.

I have been following the instuctions on http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Tellstick_core and got to the point that the service is running.

When I try to listen or turn on a device I see:

$ tdtool --learn 1
Learning device: 1 - Could not connect to the Telldus Service
$ tdtool --on 1
Turning on group 1, - Could not connect to the Telldus Service

It looks like the service is running:
$ sudo service telldusd status
[ ok ] telldusd is running.


I am using a Remote Switch Set from Nexa as below:

I can also see that the TellStick is recognised on the USB using lsusb:

/etc/init.d $ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9512 Standard Microsystems Corp.

Bus 001 Device 011: ID 1781:0c30 Multiple Vendors Telldus TellStick
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1058:0748 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.

Also here is the build of Raspbian I am on:
uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #250 PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 19:03:02 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux


Would you be able to help in investigating what the problem is here?

Thank you in advance,
Shaz.

The problem I had is that I hadn't run the listen commands from tdtool.

With the Nexa receivers, when you plug them in initially they flash for 5 secs as they are in learning mode, and at this time you need to run the tdtool listen command.
