Tellstick DUO & WINDOOR or MOTION sensor/detector

nt21k · Post by **nt21k** » Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:45 am

Hi all,

I would like to know how I can catch a message or event or a value when the door is opened (windoor sensor) or a person passes in front of motion sensor with the telldus core API ? Because when I looked at telldus-core, only temperature or humidity are supported as sensors at this moment.

Thanks for your helps.

Regards,

NT

Yes, it is possible. Read more under "Events": http://developer.telldus.com/doxygen/

Thanks for your reply. You mean that to catch a message sent by windoor/motion sensor, I need register the device with tdRegisterSensorEvent() ? I only saw that the API supports only 2 datatype for sensor TEMPERATURE and HUMIDITY.

Does tellstick transmitter classic support this ?

Thanks for your helps.

No, you must first define a device for your motion sensor and then listen for changes using tdRegisterDeviceEvent().

How I can define my sensor ? Because, normally, a sensor can not be learned.

What kind of motion detector do you have? Without that information it is really hard to guess how you should configure it!

Ok, no help so i do little python script which use pytelldus.
My script needs from pytelldus both tdtool.py and td.py.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python

import td
import time
import os


def myDeviceEvent(deviceId, method, data, callbackId):
    content = '%s' %( td.getName(deviceId) )+' - %s' %(td.methodsReadable.get(method, 'Unknown' ))	
    if 'Door - ON' in content:  			                               #### When device named Door is open
		os.system('python tdtool.py --on "Livingroom 1"')        #### it run script which open Livingroom 1 lights. 
						     
td.registerDeviceEvent(myDeviceEvent)

try:
	while(1):
		time.sleep(1)			
except KeyboardInterrupt:
            print 'KeyboardInterrupt received, exiting'
            os.system('rm *.pyc')

I named this script SignalReceiver.py and then i run it on Terminal 'python SignalReceiver.py'. This must run all the time to check signals.

Hi.
Tried the above script (with some minor adjustment, livingrom 1 to one existing in my system) but I really cannot get it to work. I have the SignalReceiver.py in the same folder as td.py and tdtool.py and all are chmoded with +x.
My magnet sensor is configged as brytare2 and this is my output if i run tdtool.py --event and triggers the magnet.

Code: Select all

1383082044: RawDeviceEvent: class:command;protocol:arctech;model:selflearning;house:3712562;unit:10;group:0;method:turnon;
  controllerId: -1
1383082044: RawDeviceEvent: class:command;protocol:arctech;model:selflearning;house:3712562;unit:10;group:0;method:turnon;
  controllerId: -1
1383082044: DeviceEvent Device: 13 - 2brytare
  method: 1 - ON, data:

But if i run SignalReceiver.py and triggers the magnet nothing happens.

Can this have something to do with that it is a RawDeviceEvent and not a registerDeviceEvent?
If so, how would the script need adjustment?
