My forum

I'm using telldus-core-2.1.0 installed from source in a Debian system. My config:
But it doesn't work with everflourish?

# tdtool --on 1
Turning on device 1, Example device - Success

# tdtool --on 3
Turning on device 3, Test - An error occurred while communicating with TellStick

Any ideas?

The house code in your Everflourish block is wrong.

It needs to be an integer between 0 and 16383 - details are at http://developer.telldus.se/wiki/TellStick_conf

Mhm?


cat /etc/tellstick.conf
...

device {
id = 3
name = "Test"
protocol = "everflourish"
parameters {
house = "10"
unit = "1"
}
}

patrik@debian-thin-client:~$ tdtool --on 3
Turning on device 3, Test - An error occurred while communicating with TellStick

Still doesn't work. I added a Nexa self-learning device too:


device {
id = 16
name = "Outdoor Nexa"
protocol = "arctech"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
house = "100"
unit = "1"
}


tdtool --on 1
Turning on device 1, Example device - Success
# tdtool --learn 16
Learning device: 16 Self learning 1 - Success
# tdtool --on 16
Turning on device 16, Self learning 1 - An error occurred while communicating with TellStick

Are there any better version than 2.1.0? My self-learning devices doesn't work and I get no help here...

I guess you have an early TellStick not supporting selflearning?

Support for selflearning started in batch 5.

Ahh ok, that must be it. I have a pre-production unit, serial number #7

But then I disagree. I can use the command rfcmd to learn the device. I plugged a Nexa self-learning in and run this command:

rfcmd /dev/ttyUSB0 NEXA P 1 1

The device then learned the code and can be controlled by rfcmd. I don't see how this could be done if my Tellstick has too old firmware?

That command is a codeswitch command.

rfcmd does not support Nexa selflearning.

Hmm ok. I took a brand new Nexa self learning device and plugged it in. It started flash red. I run the above command. The device clicked and stopped flashing. After that I could use rfcmd to turn the device off and on several times. So it worked, even if its not supposed to

That is supporsed to work since they are backward compatible with codeswitch.

Ok, just glad it works. Guess I'll have to move back to rfcmd/tellstickd/cron for automation now. Telldusd/Home Automation was nice otherwise, except that HA sometimes ignored events.
