tellstickController

               v1
+= tellstickController =
+tellstickController be used to control a number of remote receivers from the console or be run as a daemon controlling receivers according to certain rules.
+tellstickController was created with the objective of:
+  * enable control via aliases such as "BedroomMythtvPower" instead of "Nexa A 2".
+  * having a saved permission (in a database file) for each receiver enabling turning on and off with one command.
+  * running the software as a daemon and as regular commands (of course simultaneously).
+  * having rules based on extendable expressions such as "monday+weekend/sunrise-00:30+random(01:00)".
+  * having group management of receivers making it easier to establish rules.
+  * enabling the use of more than one TellStick connected to a computer.
+  * working in MythTV backend which requires the software to function in Linux.
+  * enabling control of the software with a RF remote control from all rooms.
+== Download ==
+A stable versio can be downloaded from the ftp server: En stabil version kan laddas ned från [http://download.telldus.se/TellStick/Software/tellstickController/tellstickController_v1_5_0.tar.gz http://download.telldus.se/TellStick/Software/tellstickController/tellstickController_v1_5_0.tar.gz].
+Moreover, the Rfcmd program is installed as it is required for communication in tellstickController.
+tellstickController is written in Perl and functions with a standard installation plus these three Perl-modules:
+{{
+  * DB_File;
+  * DateTime;
+  * DateTime::Event::Sunrise;
+}}
+De extra Perl-modulerna kan installeras så här om du använder en Ubuntu distribution: (Använda apt-get går också bra om aptitude inte fungerar)
+* sudo aptitude install libmldbm-perl
+* sudo aptitude install libdatetime-event-sunrise-perl
+[edit]
+Användning
+Dessa argument kan man använda med tellstickController:
+ -h, --help          Show this help text.
+ -v, --verbose       Show extra information.
+ -d, --daemon        Starts in daemon mode.
+ -f, --file F        Set configfile to file F.
+ -c, --check         Check content of configuration file.
+ -t, --test          Test mode, no real devices will used.
+ -a, --aliases       List of aliases for devices/groups.
+ -l, --list          List states for all devices/groups.
+ -s, --set D S       Set device/group D to state S.
+ -g, --get D         Get state for device/group D.
+ -x, --swap D        Swap state for device/group D.
+ -w, --swapfirst G   Swap states for group G based on first device state.
+Exempel på hur man kan använda tellstickController på kommandoprompten:
+# tellstickController --help
+#  tellstickController --aliases
+Alias testDevice1 = receiver (/dev/tellstick0 NEXA A 1)
+Alias testDevice2 = receiver (/dev/tellstick0 NEXA A 2)
+Group allDevices = delay 10 seconds, aliases (testDevice1 testDevice2)
+# tellstickController --set testDevice2 on
+# tellstickController --list
+Device testDevice1 = off
+Device testDevice2 = on
+Group allDevices = off on
+# tellstickController --swap testDevice1
+# tellstickController --get testDevice1
+On
+# tellstickController --daemon
+Exempel på hur man kan sätta ihop enkla shell script:
+#!/bin/sh
+#
+# Power on bedroom MythTV, turn on backlight leds and turn off window lamp.
+#
+tellstickController --set bedroom_mythtv_power on
+tellstickController --set bedroom_mythtv_leds on
+tellstickController --set bedroom_window off

+SVN
+Den absolut senaste version (som oftast fungerar helt okey ;-) finns i subversion och kan checkas ut med detta kommando: svn checkout http://svn.telldus.se/telldus/trunk/tellstickcontroller
+[edit]
+Tips
+Jag kör tellstickController på min MythTV backend för att styra lampor, MythTV frontend, mm.
+Förutom att automatiskt styra lamporna via regler i tellstickcontroller.conf och tellstickcontrollerDaemon, så kan jag styra alla mottagare manuellt med en Logitech UltraX rf remote ifrån alla rum.
+Alla knappar på fjärrkontrollen är bundna till olika händelser genom programmen KeyWatcher och XMacro.
+Information om hur man kan använda alla knappar på fjärrkontrollen finns här, http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Logitech_UltraX_Media_Remote
+Information om KeyWatcher programmet finns här, http://criticalmass.sourceforge.net/keyWatcher.php
+Information om XMacro programmet finns här, http://xmacro.sourceforge.net/
+Genom att använda knappen KEY_CCTELETEXT som en shift-knapp på fjärrkontrollen, så har jag kunnat lägga in två-knapps makros för olika händelser. Tex genom att trycka på de båda knapparna KEY_CCTELETEXT + KEY_1 samtidigt, kan jag styra en en lampa i vardagsrummet mha tellstickController. Så här ser min konfig-fil för KeyWatcher ut. Den är skapad via KeyConfig (GUI frontend för KeyWatcher).

+Eftersom tellstickController försöker att hela tiden hålla koll på status för alla mottagare så funkar dessa skript rätt bra för att slå av/på lampor, mm.
