Setting up the Tellstick service and tools contained in the telldus-core package and adding configuration to enable Tellstick and Tellstick Duo to work on your Hass.io.
-To use this add-on, you first install it from the list of Built-in add-ons in Hass.io. -After installation you are presented with a default and example configuration, to alter this you must follow both the JSON format and also be aligned with the valid parameters for Tellstick configuration file (tellstick.conf).
-After any changes has been made to the configuration you need to restart the add-on for the changes to take effect.
-Configuration variables:
--
-
- id (Required): This is a number and must be unique for each device. -
- name (Required): A name for easy identification of the device. -
- protocol (Required): This is the protocol the device uses. More on the different protocols later down. -
- model (Optional): The parameter model is only used by some protocols where there exists different types of devices using the same protocol. This can be dimmers versus non-dimmers, codeswitch versus selflearning etc. -
- house (Optional): Depending on protocol the values here can vary a lot to identify or group per house or type. -
- unit (Optional): Unit identifier, in most cases a value between 1 to 16 and often used in combination with house. -
- fade (Optional): Fade is either
trueorfalseand tells a dimmer if is should fade smooth or instant between values (only for IKEA protocol as it seems).
- - code (Optional): A number series based on ones and zeroes often used for dip-switch based devices. -
In order to communicate with the add-on you will also need to add Hass.io specific data in the configuration.yaml file.
-For regular Home Assistant you only add tellstick: but for Hass.io and this add-on you need to add internal communication details.

- "model": "selflearning-switch",
- "house": "A",
