+The file {{{/etc/tellstick.conf}}} is the file where all devices used by TellStick is configured under Linux. Each device is configured in its own block with the parameter as name/value-pairs:
+{{{
+device {
+  foo = "bar"
+}
+}}}
+A device has at least four values and another block names {{{parameters}}}. A typical device can look like this:
+{{{
+device {
+  id = 1
+  name = "Device 1"
+  protocol = "arctech"
+  model = "codeswitch"
+  parameters {
+    house = "A"
+    unit = "1"
+  }
+}
+}}}
+
+ id::
+  This is a number and must be unique for each device.
+
+ name::
+  A name for easy identification of the device.
+
+ protocol::
+  This is the protocol the device uses. More on the different protocols later down.
+
+ model::
+  The parameter model is only used by some protocols where there exists different types of devices using the same protocol. This can be dimmers versus non-dimmers, codeswitch versus selflearning etc.
+
+ parameters::
+  This block depends on the protocol specified and is explained under each protocol.
+
