Can't find any tellstick switches. Need to compile?

Post by 944Driver »

Hi, my first post here. I hope I selected the correct part of the forum to post in.
I am trying to set up Domoticz with Tellstick support on a Raspberry Pi 2.
I have downloaded the image file with Domoticz version 3.530 and have it up and running. Command line tellstick support is also up and running, I can use tdtool to turn on and off my switches and the tellstick.conf file can be read by all users on the system.
In Domoticz I can add hardware 'Tellstick' from a drop down, but I don't find any of my switches as expected? (I have rebooted)
I have read wiki http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Basic_Tell ... h_Domoticz and from that I believe that my version of Domoticz has tellstick support since I can select 'Tellstick' from the drop down. Are my assumption correct or do I need to download sorce code and compile in order to get tellstick support?
Or am I doing something wrong with my setup?

A little background info and my future plan.
I have been running HomeAutomation http://karpero.mine.nu/ha/index.php?page=home&hl=en_US with Tellstick on a Bubba Two NAS for five years, but since the Bubba died on me two weeks ago and I have been starting to think about getting some z-wave sensors I decieded to move to Raspberry and Domoticz since it should let me keep my existing tellstick and 433 MHz switches until I have replaced them with z in the future.

Yes you need to compile the tellstick support, not sure how, someone implemented this long time ago.
To be honest, i would recommend the RFXtrx433e hardware

Okay, thanks for the reply.
For the time being I solved it by adding dummy switches and using the domoticz_main script file as described for older versions.
