Setting up the [Tellstick](http://telldus.com) service and tools contained in the [telldus-core](http://developer.telldus.com/) 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)](https://developer.telldus.com/wiki/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 `true` or `false` and 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will need to add internal communication details to `configuration.yaml` to enable the integration from Hass.io and the add-on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
|
|
tellstick:
|
|
host: core-tellstick
|
|
port: [50800, 50801]
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To add [lights](https://home-assistant.io/components/light.tellstick/), [sensors](https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.tellstick/) and [switches](https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.tellstick/) you follow the guidelines for each type individually that is [described for Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/components/tellstick/)
|
|
|
|
The add-on will also enable you to interact with tdtool via a Home Assistant services call, see example below for selflearning device.

Example for adding more devices in the add-on configuration (note the comma separator between devices):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"devices": [
|
|
{
|
|
"id": 1,
|
|
"name": "Outdoor light",
|
|
"protocol": "everflourish",
|
|
"model": "selflearning-switch",
|
|
"house": "A",
|
|
"unit": "1"
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"id": 2,
|
|
"name": "Hallway dimmer",
|
|
"protocol": "risingsun",
|
|
"model": "selflearning-dimmer",
|
|
"house": "A",
|
|
"unit": "2"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to teach a selflearning device in your TellStick configuration:
|
|
|
|
Go to Home Assistant [service call](http//hassio.local:8123/dev-service) in Developer tools
|
|
Select
|
|
- Domain `hassio`
|
|
- Service: `addon_stdin`
|
|
- Service Data: `{"addon":"core_tellstick","input":"learn 1"}`
|
|
|
|
Replace `1` with the corresponding ID of the device in your TellStick configuration.
