rfcmd doesn't support UPM and will be removed soon. Please use tdtool instead.

First, configure them in /etc/tellstick.conf using a text editor or TelldusCenter.
How this file is constructed can be found here: http://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellStick_conf
If you are using version >= 2.1.0 you need to restartd telldusd to reread its configuration.
To turn device with id 1 on use:

Re: UPM receiver and Linux rfcmd command
Thanks for answer. My /etc/tellstick.conf looks like this:
Now when I try to run tdtool I get following error:
rfcmd-command works and it finds tellstick but tdtool-command doesn't.
What to do now?
Code: Select all
deviceNode = /dev/ttyUSB0
device {
id = 1
name = "Example device"
protocol = "arctech"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "1"
}
}
device {
id = 2
name = "UPM"
protocol = "upm"
parameters {
house = "789"
unit = "1"
}
}
Code: Select all
root@slax:/srv/telldus-core-2.1.0/tdtool# tdtool --on 2
Turning on device 2, UPM - TellStick not found
What to do now?

Re: UPM receiver and Linux rfcmd command
rfcmd and tdtool do the communication very differently with the TellStick so it is not strange one work and not the other.
If you compile from source yourself you must make sure udev-rule also work when you plug in TellStick to the computer or start telldusd after plugging in TellStick.
Also try unloading ftdi_sio from the kernel because it can sometimes interfere with telldusd.
