My forum

Hi,

I am trying to receive temperature and humidity from my sensors http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Ekstra-tem ... r361797000 ( I have three of them , some 4 years old, some new)
I understood from the diverse mention in the forum and bug http://developer.telldus.com/ticket/104 that those sensors were supported by the mandolyn protocol.
I tried running the python examples under /dev/telldus/examples/python/sensors/ sensorscallback.py and poll.py and using the python tdtool with the -r option ( https://bitbucket.org/davka003/pytelldus/ )
They show nothing they just say :

olivier@utopia:~/dev/pytelldus$ python tdtool.py -t
Register device event returned: 0
Register device changed event returned: 1
Register raw device event returned: 2
Register sensor event returned: 3
Event handlers registered now waiting for events. Exit with ctrl-c.

then nothing happens
I am starting to wonder if the tellstick duo I got is defect ...

telldusd is running
telldusd --nodaemon
telldusd daemon starting up
Connecting to TellStick (1781/C31) with serial A501DQKO

tdtool show no sensors, should it automatically find sensors?
tdtool -l
Number of devices: 1
1 Example device OFF



I am using version 2.1.1

Any idea?

Are you using Firmware 5? I upgraded mine, and the sensors started working.
Use the update tool in the Telldus application directory.

I will be trying as soon as I manage to borrow the mac of my wife.
Where do I find the fw5 formware? I only see fw4 on http://download.telldus.com/TellStick/S ... /firmware/

Is this a known limitation of fw4 or is it just black magic which works sometimes?

That works with fw5 !!!

tdtool -l
Number of devices: 1
1 Example device OFF

Thank you for your help!

Does that mean that we need to modify the firmware to add support for a device?
I have some other sensors that I would like to try to hack if it possible at all.
