All my devices gone after power failure...
Hi!
I had a power failure a couple days ago, and have since then not been able to use my iphone to control my lights....
The setup is a Mac mini, and a regular Tellstick.
When I log in to telldus live the list is there, but on telldus center it just says device not found when I try to use Telldus live..
So now I´m wondering if I really have to reconfigure all my devices all over again, or if there is a way of making it work again without pulling off all the covers in my apartement and start all over again...
Best Regards:
Kenneth

Re: All my devices gone after power failure...
The list in TelldusCenter is empty? What version of TelldusCenter are you running?

Re: All my devices gone after power failure...
I also had some problems with telldus center a couple of days ago when all devices suddenly disappeared. I had been adding and removing some devices on the computer and then I used Switchking on my phone and it said that Switchking had devices that were lacking in telldus center and asked me if I would like to update telldus center with the devices and when I answered “Yes” I got a message the there were some error with saving. When I opened up telldus center almost all devices were gone. I am almost sure it was version 2.10a.

Hi!
I´m on ver. 2.1.0, and yes the Telldus Center is empty...
Is there a way of "rescuing" the setup or am I stuck with setting it all up from skratch again?
Best Regards!

Re: All my devices gone after power failure...
Have you been running 2.0.4 before?
On a upgrade you will loose the settings. But the file is still on disk and can be "rescued".

But I thought it should be that way then, and just configured it again then.
This was a while ago but the problem seems to be reappearing again now...
Where are this file?
Thanks for helping out!

Re: All my devices gone after power failure...
Check and see if you have one of these two files. (~ means your home directory)
~/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist
~/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist

Hi!
I have this file on the disk, but what should I do with it?
Sorry for my poor understanding on how this works..

First of all make a backup of the files!
Exit of TelldusCenter (make sure it it really off and not just hidden).
Turn of TelldusService:
Copy the file from ~/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist to /Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist:
Start TelldusService again:
Start TelldusCenter.
Hopefully you will have all your devices from 2.0.4 again.
Exit of TelldusCenter (make sure it it really off and not just hidden).
Turn of TelldusService:
Code: Select all
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.telldus.service.plist
Code: Select all
cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist /Library/Preferences/com.telldus.core.plist
Code: Select all
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.telldus.service.plist
Hopefully you will have all your devices from 2.0.4 again.
