Tellstick install on Raspberry Pi

@Henrik1986 thank you. Read it and seems straight forward. One question though: the device is set up in the tellstick.conf file. So for instance id = 1 is “name = sensor1”. How do i then “synchronize” that sensor which I’ve given id=1 with the stick?
thank you.

Good day, following this guide https://www.automatiserar.se/guide-raspberry-pi/ and cant download the repository. getting this error on the RPI3 after sudo apt-get update

Reading package lists… Done

Any suggestions welcome.

There is no signed version of Tellstick in newer version of raspian. Are you using stretch?
I think i run a raspian Jessie version. You can download older raspian version here Index of /raspbian/images

And if you run your HASS on a virtual enviroment the Python version can be upgrade. 3.6 version i minimum from next year.

Follow this guide till upgrade Python version in a VE.

Henrik, thank you. I am using stretch. I followed this tutorial:

and it’s working :wink:

So now trying to add first sensor. So just did this in the conf file

device {
id = 1
name = “Master Balcony Door”
protocol = “arctech”
model = “codeswitch”
parameters {
house = “A”
unit = “1”
}
}

now, how do I “connect” the sensor to the stick?

Ok, after doing it the hard way i’ve got it installed, added a sensor and “learned” it.
Problem now is it doesn’t show in HA.
I can see it as a switch, but it doesnt turn on or off.
All I added was
sensor:

  • platform: tellstick

Do i need to add more?

Try to add
tellstick:
In your configuration.yaml

Then restart
