Tellstick installation on HassIO

Installation Home Assistant OS
122

Right. I might have the send only version. It is a quite small one.
Bummer.

I’ve now bought a duo instead and configured it like

devices:
  - id: 1
    name: Adrians nexa 1
    protocol: arctech
    model: 'selflearning-dimmer: nexa'
    house: '34042566'
    unit: '1'

The device is a nexa remote control.
I added

sensor:
  - platform: tellstick

To my HA conf and restarted everything. Now there is a device called light.adrians_nexa_1 but no sensor.
What am I doing wrong?

The remote is not a sensor, it’s a switch… :wink:
So you need to find the codes for the remote and then put that in the devices-list.

You can find the codes by running

nc core-tellstick 50801

on a commandline (SSH) and pressing the diffrent buttons, watching for the output…
Insert the codes in the config.
After that you can make automations to connect the remotebuttons to whatewer you want in HA.

(If you want this in Swedish, send me a PM… :wink: )

I see. that worked. I wish there was a way to reload the integration without reloading HA and also that sensors would be sensors and not switches

126

i have. a nexa wall switch mode lwst-615 and I do see it reacting with my terminal after I run nc core-tellstick 50801
but I also have a wall outlet model neycr-1500, I know a house key to that one but I still cant get it to work.

my tellstick config is

devices:
  - id: 1
    name: button
    protocol: arctech
    model: selflearning
    house: '11979878'
    unit: '11'
  - id: 2
    name: outlet
    protocol: arctech
    model: selflearning-switch
    house: '42681'
    unit: '7'

and configuration.yaml

tellstick:
  host: core-tellstick
  port: [50800, 50801]
switch:
  - platform: tellstick

have I made any mistakes or is this configuration OK? i want to trigger my outlet from my dashboard.

Easy way:

Tell the “outlet” to listen to the “button”.
Put the outlet in learning mode (usually by holding down a button until it starts flashing) and then press the “on” button on the “button”

If you have installed TellstickDuo via Supervisor, then in the config tab you only need to add:

devices:
  - id: 1
    name: outlet
    protocol: arctech
    model: selflearning
    house: '11979878'
    unit: '11'

If you turn on with the button, HomeAssistant will follow the state

Edit:
No need to add anything to config.yaml if you are installing through Supervisor
