Problems detecting Everflourish

Post by Rampe »

Hello everyone,
I got my Tellstick Net yesterday, along with couple of Nexas devices. The installation went smoothly with these.

I also have 3 pcs of Everflourish branded devices bought from Clas Ohlson 3-4 years ago. I cannot get these devices to work with Tellstick. The transmitter is EMW100T (433.92MHz), the receiver is EMW100R. I tried adding these to Telldus Live with the brand name GAO, but no luck. Tellstick just doesn't learn / detect the signal. Also, I don't have a clue what the Housecode and Unitcode mean, should I change those values?

The Everflourish remote controller and socket receivers are working together.

Try select GAO and Self learming on/off.

Unfortunately that's what I tried first, saw a post here at the forums about it.

Ofcourse, I could have problems with my technique, even thought I got the Nexas working. I should click the Scan remote and then furiously click the remote controller near the Tellstick Net, right?

No. You don't need remote when you program receiver. You choose add device then pick GAO and Self learming on/off. After that Machine gives you code you only give Name to device. Then you press ok. When you have done this you device comes to list where you can turn it on or off. There is also button learn. You first press your receiver button about five seconds when receiver indicator lamp starts to lit. Then you push that learn button and it receiver indicator lamp stops blinking you have successful.

I have succeed to connect one EMW100R/Everflourish switch using everflourish protocol. When I tried to add second switch, I got an error when restarting telldusd service eg.

pi@RasPi-1:/etc$ sudo service telldusd start
[....] Starting the Telldus TellStick daemon : telldusdcat: /proc/3404/cmdline: No such file or directory

When I removed the device added to tellstick.conf message disappear. Have anybody faced same situation. What might be problem?

This is ok:

device {
id = 7
name = "CoTech-1"
controller = 0
protocol = "everflourish"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
# devices = ""
house = "A"
unit = "1"
# code = ""
# system = ""
# units = ""
# fade = ""
}
}

..and this causes the problem (when not commented):

#device {
# id = 8
# name "CoTech-2"
# controller = 0
# protocol = "everflourish"
# model = "selflearning-switch"
# parameters {
# house = "A"
# unit = "1"
# }
#}

I have tried several unit numbers without success.

Why add a new device with same house and unit name ??

And what editor are you using ??

Think of cr lf !!
When using unix and another os !!

And what version are you using ??

And what are the rest in the tellstick.conf file ??

I am using TelldusCenter 2.1.1.
The hardware is RaspberryPI and I am using nano editor.

My tellstick.conf:

user = "nobody"
group = "plugdev"
deviceNode = "/dev/tellstick"
ignoreControllerConfirmation = "false"
device {
id = 1
name = "NEXA-1"
controller = 0
protocol = "arctech"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
# devices = ""
house = "A"
unit = "1"
# code = ""
# system = ""
# units = ""
# fade = ""
}
}
device {
id = 2
name = "NEXA-2"
controller = 0
protocol = "arctech"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
# devices = ""
house = "A"
unit = "2"
# code = ""
# system = ""
# units = ""
# fade = ""
}
}
device {
id = 3
name = "NEXA-3"
controller = 0
protocol = "arctech"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "3"
}
}
device {
id = 4
name = "Ever-1"
controller = 0
protocol = "risingsun"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "1"
}
}
device {
id = 5
name = "Ever-2"
controller = 0
protocol = "risingsun"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "2"
}
}
device {
id = 6
name = "Ever-3"
controller = 0
protocol ="risingsun"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "3"
}
}
device {
id = 7
name = "CoTech-1"
controller = 0
protocol = "everflourish"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
# devices = ""
house = "A"
unit = "1"
# code = ""
# system = ""
# units = ""
# fade = ""
}
}
device {
id = 8
name "CoTech-2"
controller = 0
protocol = "everflourish"
model = "selflearning-switch"
parameters {
house = "A"
unit = "2"
}
}
#device {
# id = 9
# name = "CoTech-3"
# controller = 0
# protocol = "everflourish"
# model = "selflearning-switch"
# parameters {
# house = "A"
# unit = "1"
# }
#}
controller {
id = 1
# name = ""
type = 1
serial = "A501D1XY"
}

When restarting telldusd using configuration above I got:

pi@RasPi-1:/etc$ sudo service telldusd restart
[....] Restarting the Telldus TellStick daemon: telldusdcat: /proc/3193/cmdline: No such file or directory
failed!
pi@RasPi-1:/etc$

All the other devices, including CoTech-1, works fine if I remove CoTech-2 definitions from conf-file.

Sorry about that. There was a typo, missing "=" on dev 8.
