How can I enable live-support in TelldusCenter?

I have googled and searched the forum a couple of days now without finding an answer. How can I enable live-support on my TelldusCenter on my Raspberry Pi?

I have installed the latest beta of Telldus core and (hopefully) the latest version of TelldusCenter.
When I look the configure menu-item it's empty when it comes to live.
On my mac it's up and running but I want to move it to my RPi.
Everything else is working when it comes to controlling the Tellstick using the TelldusCenter or terminal commands.

Ok, now I can answer myself.

First thing I did was to to update my TelldusCenter. I had downloaded an old version by mistake.

I did that with:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install tellduscenter

as mentioned here http://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellS ... tionUbuntu

After that update I could see the icon for live in menu File/Configure in TelldusCenter.

The last thing I did was to copy and paste the live ID string from the preferences file on my mac located in ~/Library/Preferences/se.telldus.www.TelldusCenter.plist
I located the live id string in the same preferences file in Linux located in ~/.config/Telldus/TelldusCenter.conf, replaced the string and saved the file.

Now I can use the great app Tellevent (iOS) to control my devices and see my sensor values again!

Hi,

I have a similar problem, but using v.2.1.1

I have the option "configure" under "file" and I can see telldus live as option. But it says that its "connected"! And I havent connected it myself, its like that after installation...

What can I do? Can I disconnect it somehow and then connect again?

Try to remove live id string in ~/.config/Telldus/TelldusCenter.conf and restart TelldusCenter.

hmm. TelldusCenter.conf contains the following:

[General]
Size=@Size(640 480)
Pos=@Point(93 19)

nothing more... sounds like you thought that it should contain more?

Hmm, my config file contains this in the end of the file:

[Live]
UUID=<uidstring>

Maybe yours is saved somewhere else...

Thanks, being a novice with some level of perseverance, i manage to solve this.

I added the 2.1.2_beta8 release of TelldusCenter instead of 2.1.1 and after that, I got the option to connect to Live. Dont know the original reason why this didnt work...

and robe, now my config file contains your info as well.¨

thanks!

Ah! That explains it. I did the same mistake.
Telldus seem to hold on those betas a bit too long in my opinion. They are almost like Google.
Great that you figured it out!
