Telldus Tellstick

Telldus Tellstick

Below is an example of how to capture events from Telldus Tellstick and forward them to the openhab bus as events through REST. The example works for on/off switches and wireless sensors but can easily be extended to dimmers, etc. Events are sent to openhab regardless if a telldus state change originates from a wireless remote or from other software (e. g. Switchking or Telldus Center). In other word, the script keeps openhab in sync with telldus states.

You need:

• Tellstick Duo (RF Transmitter/Receiver)
• Telldus Core software from here: http://developer.telldus.se/
• Tellcore Python lib: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tellcore-py

See wiki section Binding configurations for the outbound example (openhab to tellstick).

Tested on Ubuntu Server 13.04.
