Install Tellstick
Conditions
- Tellstick not connected to B3
- Logged in as root on B3
1. Install packet for compiling on B3
apt-get install cmake
apt-get install build-essential
2. Install packet needed by Telldus
apt-get install libconfuse-dev libqt4-dev help2man
3. Download the latest software for Tellstick and extract. Use the latest tellstick core found at: http://download.telldus.se/TellStick/Software/telldus-core/.
wget http://download.telldus.se/TellStick/Software/telldus-core/telldus-core-2.0.4.tar.gz
tar xvfz telldus-core-2.0.4.tar.gz
cd telldus-core
4. Build tdtool and rfcmd.
cmake -DBUILD_LIBTELLDUS-CORE=1 -DBUILD_TDTOOL=1 -DBUILD_RFCMD_WITH_LIBFTDI=0 -DGENERATE_MAN=1
make
make install
5. Edit the file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf (if not excisting, add the file):
nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/local.conf
Add the following line:
/usr/local/lib
6. Then run:
ldconfig
rm -f /var/state/telldus-core.conf
7. Insert the Tellstick into B3
8. To add receiver units, edit the file /etc/tellstick.conf
nano /etc/tellstick.conf
Adjust the config file to your receiver units. In this case: 1pcs NEXA NEYCR-1000 and 1pcs NEXA LWMR-210.
deviceNode = "/dev/tellstick"
device {
id = 1
name = "Office"
protocol = "arctech"
model = "codeswitch"
parameters {
house = "112233"
unit = "1"
}
}
device {
id = 2
name = "Outside"
protocol = "arctech"
model = "selflearning-dimmer"
parameters {
house = "445566"
unit = "1"
}
}
Change the parameter "house" to a randomly choosen number. The uniqe numbers will make sure your units do not interfear with other units.
