Help needed: Telldus won't integrate with hass.io anymore

Configuration
1

Despite having Telldus live integrated and (mostly) working in hass.io, notifications about a new discovery of a TelldusLive component started to show up all the time. Trying to configure that integration does nothing at all for me. I am referring to the below:
Telldus%20auth%20HA

My previous TelldusLive config looked like this:

tellduslive:

switch:
  - platform: tellstick

but I have also tried this:

tellduslive:
  public_key: !secret public_key
  private_key: !secret private_key
  token: !secret token
  token_secret: !secret token_secret

switch:
  - platform: tellstick

but it doesn’t work either. I get this in the log file:

2019-01-20 17:51:49 WARNING (SyncWorker_1) [tellduslive] Failed request: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.telldus.com/json/clients/list

I tried to remove the third party apps from live.telldus.com and readd it with new keys and tokens, but I can’t get this to work again no matter what I try.
Telldus%203rd%20party%20integrations

I am at a loss here with my Tellstick Net that used to work with HA. Could anyone help me out?

Thanks

I can add this also. When checking the integrations, there is a “Telldus Cloud API” that looks like this:

Telldus%20Cloud%20API

After upgrading to hassos on a new RPi 3, I was finally able to integrate Telldus Live again. However, the operation of Telldus is sluggish and not always reliable. I am going to exchange my Telldus smart plugs with IKEA tradfri instead. Unfortunately I still have some built-in Telldus switches in my house, so I will have to live with Telldus for a while more.

I’m the one that made the latest changes to telldus live and I’m sorry to hear that you are having issues with it.

Could you elaborate what you mean by sluggish, did it work better before (November or so)? The 0.86.4 version of Home Assistant added some more fixes for telldus live are you running that?

Edit: There is an option in the documentation to increase polling but for Telldus Live I don’t recommend it (https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/20169#issuecomment-456970314)

Sorry @fredrike, I have been quite busy and completely missed your nice reachout. I haven’t changed the default polling. For me, Telldus is a bit of “hit and miss”. It mostly works, but relatively slow to react to commands. Sometimes, one or two smart plugs just won’t react at all until after several “on” and “off” efforts. It also happens that I have to unplug it completely to get it working properly again. I am not sure this is a HA problem though, I have seen similar behaviour using live.telldus.com, although it is usually somewhat more reliable.
Thanks for helping out anyway!

Could it perhaps be your location of the Tellstick?

It is quite sensitive to interfere and the stock antenna is quite bad. The suggestion is to upgrade the antenna and/or change location (to a more central location) of your Tellstick.

This one is quite good but there are other alternatives https://www.styrahem.se/p/373/hogeffektiv-antenn-till-tellstick-duonetznet-gp433mhz3m.

Thanks for the tip! It could be one of the problems you mention. The antenna in your link isn’t pretty, but look efficient. I will experiment with the location first.

And noe it stopper working for me with the 0.86 upgrade :frowning:

Are you saying that a 20 weeks old release are giving you issues now?
