 To be able to use your TellStick from Java your OS must look at it as a serial unit. In Linux this is relatively simple as the unit is installed as a usual unit under /dev and you can then use e.g. javacomm to work with the unit. In Windows it is harder as the unit does not show up as a usual serial connection. You can use JNI to call one of the DLL's that exist to communicate with TellStick. If there will be VCP-drivers for Windows (Virtual Communication Port, make a USB-unit look like a regular serial port) the same example as for Linux can be used.

 In the class NEXAUnit.java there is some code that may be helpful.
+
+== TellStickNet ==
+
+Telldus TellStickNet is designed to use Telldus online servers and telldus live API, but it is possible to use TellStickNet as listening device using TCP/IP locally.
+
+The first approach is described here
+http://developer.telldus.se/blog/2012/03/02/help-us-develop-local-access-using-tellstick-net-build-your-own-firmware is 
+
+The second approach is to make changes to the local network DNS and "emulate" telldus live.
+
+=== Network configuration ===
+The TellStickNet is performing the folowing operations at boot:
+1 - request ip address using dhcp
+2 - resolve api.telldus.com using dns
+3 - HTTP request to api.telldus.com to get url to telldus live server
+4 - connect to telldus live server, register and exchange data.
+
+In order to make TellStickNet connect to you own software, you will have to setup and configure a local dns server and override the dns entries for telldus.com and telldus.se.
+
+My dns entries looks like this:
+{{{
+telldus.com
+    api        10.0.1.5
+    developer  62.20.121.252
+    download   194.30.169.113
+    local      10.0.1.5
+    login      79.99.3.85
+    www        194.30.169.113
+telldus.se
+    developer  62.20.121.252
+}}}
+
+10.0.1.5 is my local computer running http server and the software to emulate telldus live.
+
+=== HTTP configuration ===
+The TellStickNet is getting the address of the telldus live by asking api.telldus.com using a HTTP get.
+
+Simply setup a HTTP server somewhere and put a file named assign in a directory called server in the webroot.
+
+The assign file should contain:
+{{{
+11:local.telldus.comiAFCAs
+}}}
+OBS the address must have 5 letters as computer name.
+
+=== Software ===
+The zip file JavaTellStickNet_20120804 contains a java application witch communicate with tellstick net.
+This first beta version can only listen and parse nexa protocol (not self learning).
+
+If you are in a hurry, just use include the lib JavaTellStickNet.jar and toel.jar in your project and use the code:
+{{{
+    public void Start() {
+        
+        boolean proxyMode = false;                  // Set to true if you want the software to proxy data to Telldus Live real server
+        
+        Server server = new Server(proxyMode);
+        //server.setLiveIp("79.99.3.85");           // Uncomment to change the default ip
+        //server.setLivePort(45002");               // Uncomment to cahnge the default port
+        
+        // Start the server
+        server.start();
+        
+        // Register event listener
+        EventHandler.getInstance().subscribe(Event.TELLSTICK_EVENT, this);
+       
+        // EXAMPLE CODE: Run for 1 minute
+        long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
+        while (server.isRunning()) {
+            Dev.sleep(100);
+            if ((System.currentTimeMillis()-start)>60000) break;
+        }
+        
+        // Shutdown everything
+        server.shutdown();
+        
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public void eventTriggered(EventIF event) {
+        System.out.println(event.getMessage());
+        // Your code here...
+    }
+}}}
