Hi,

Just installed a selflearning-dimmer in my celing lamp and a selflearning-switch in the wall. It works fine to start the ceiling switch but when I turn it off the wall switch turns off instead. Don't know why that happen. It worked as it should in Windows but not after configuring in Debian. Where is the conf file saved in Windows? Might be a good idea to have a look at it...

My tellstick.conf looks like this:

Code: Select all

device {
  id = 1
  name = "Switch1"
  protocol = "arctech"
  model = "selflearning-switch"
  parameters {
    house = "A"
    unit = "1"
  }
}

device {
  id = 2
  name = "Living Room"
  protocol = "arctech"
  model = "selflearning-dimmer"
  parameters {
    house = "100010"
    unit = "1"
  }
}

Is there something wrong with this? I'm using tdtool to turn on and off my devices. Devices 1 works fine and device 2 turns on. But when I call tdtool --off 2, device 1 turns off instead. Strange.

Thanks for help!

Your switch (id=1) seems not configured correctly. Selflearning cannot have house="A". They are numeric.
You can find the configuration in TelldusCenter by selecting a device and pressing "edit". If you copy the same settings to Linux you will not have to relearn your receivers again.

Thanks, that was it!
