I have a server online @ home that my tellstick is conected to.

There is a simple php-file on the server that executes tdtool.
Executing the php page with a querystring for On or Off will execute the 2 different parameters to turn on or off.
http://site.se/switch.php?on
and
http://site.se/switch.php?off

Code: Select all

$on = $_REQUEST["on"];
$off =  $_REQUEST["off"];

if (isset($on))
	exec("/usr/bin/tdtool --on 1");
if (isset($off))
	exec("/usr/bin/tdtool --off 1");

Then there is some more ajax and crossdomain workarounds that I have done on my webcam-page.

is the code for the switch.php file on the server?
because in your webpage, i found this code for the buttons
and is the webpage is on your homeserver?

<p>Spotlight: <button id="onSwitch" type="button">Sätt på</button>
<button id="offSwitch" type="button">Slå av</button>
</p>

i have my webpage on a webhoster and the tellstick is not on a server ,
its on a pc and yousing telldus center because i use the telldus center at the pc to switch ....
but i have some videos and fotos , because the space is small at the hoster from my homenet on the webpages via dyndns and portforwarding to my windows home server .
will it work with dyndns portforwarding and a tellstick serversoftware ?

If you have your webpage hosted on another computer than the one running TelldusCenter (as in your case) you might find the Telldus Live! api simpler to use.
It is designed for this kind of application.

in telldus live is the complete home automation , thats not for public!
i only want perhaps 2 light switches for public using
so telldus live is not the way to do it

You don't need to publish all your light. You can freely choose which two lights you whant to expose.
