| 3 | 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: |
| 4 | {{{ |
| 5 | device { |
| 6 | foo = "bar" |
| 7 | } |
| 8 | }}} |
| 9 | A device has at least four values and another block names {{{parameters}}}. A typical device can look like this: |
| 10 | {{{ |
| 11 | device { |
| 12 | id = 1 |
| 13 | name = "Device 1" |
| 14 | protocol = "arctech" |
| 15 | model = "codeswitch" |
| 16 | parameters { |
| 17 | house = "A" |
| 18 | unit = "1" |
| 19 | } |
| 20 | } |
| 21 | }}} |
| 22 | |
| 23 | id:: |
| 24 | This is a number and must be unique for each device. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | name:: |
| 27 | A name for easy identification of the device. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | protocol:: |
| 30 | This is the protocol the device uses. More on the different protocols later down. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | model:: |
| 33 | 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. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | parameters:: |
| 36 | This block depends on the protocol specified and is explained under each protocol. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | == Protocols == |
| 39 | |
| 40 | === arctech === |
| 41 | This protocol is used by a lot of devices. Some of them includes: |
| 42 | * Nexa |
| 43 | * Proove |
| 44 | * Intertechno |
| 45 | * HomeEasy |
| 46 | * KlikAanKlikUit |
| 47 | * Byebye Standby |
| 48 | |
| 49 | It has three different models: |
| 50 | |
| 51 | codeswitch:: |
| 52 | This types of devices uses dials on the receiver and remote to address them. The housecode can be A to P and the device 1 to 16. A typical parameters-block can look like: |
| 53 | {{{ |
| 54 | parameters { |
| 55 | house = "A" |
| 56 | unit = "1" |
| 57 | } |
| 58 | }}} |
