Hi all. Completely new to Home assistant, and home automation. Not new to Linux or electronics. Tried Hass.io but did not like the linux base system. Figured hassbian was the way to go.
Bought a tellstick duo, since I have some old nexa switches and wanted something to get started with. Got the tellstick set up , after some library issues. I can turn swtches on and off with the tdtool.
However, when I add:
tellstick:
host: core-tellstick
port: [50800, 50801]To the config I get this i the log:
2018-01-05 11:31:52 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup of sensor is taking over 10 seconds.

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'socat'Any ideas? I don’t really get what file it’s looking for.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I’m an idiot. Just socat package missing from hassbian, should be included though…
