Setting up the [Tellstick](http://telldus.com) service and tools contained in the [telldus-core](http://developer.telldus.com/) package and adding configuration to enable Tellstick and Tellstick Duo to work on your Hass.io.
To use this add-on, you first install it from the list of Built-in add-ons in Hass.io.
After installation you are presented with a default and example configuration, to alter this you must follow both the JSON format and also be aligned with the [valid parameters for Tellstick configuration file (tellstick.conf)](https://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellStick_conf).
After any changes has been made to the configuration you need to restart the add-on for the changes to take effect.
Configuration variables:
- **id** (*Required*): This is a number and must be unique for each device.
- **name** (*Required*): A name for easy identification of the device.
- **protocol** (*Required*): This is the protocol the device uses. More on the different protocols later down.
- **model** (*Optional*): 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.
- **house** (*Optional*): Depending on protocol the values here can vary a lot to identify or group per house or type.
- **unit** (*Optional*): Unit identifier, in most cases a value between 1 to 16 and often used in combination with house.
- **fade** (*Optional*): Fade is either `true` or `false` and tells a dimmer if is should fade smooth or instand between values (only for IKEA protocol as it seems).
- **code** (*Optional*): A number series based on ones and zeroes often used for dip-switch based devices.
In order to communicate with the add-on you will also need to add Hass.io specific data in the `configuration.yaml` file.
For regular Home Assistant you only add `tellstick:` but for Hass.io and this add-on you need to add internal communication details.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tellstick:
host: core-tellstick
port: [50800, 50801]
```
To add [lights](https://home-assistant.io/components/light.tellstick/), [sensors](https://home-assistant.io/components/sensor.tellstick/) and [switches](https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.tellstick/) you follow the guidelines for each type individually that is [described for Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/components/tellstick/)
## {% linkable_title Examples %}
Example for adding more devices in the add-on configuration (note the comma separator between devices):
```json
{
"devices": [
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Outdoor light",
"protocol": "everflourish",
"model": "selflearning-switch",
"house": "A",
"unit": "1"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Hallway dimmer",
"protocol": "risingsun",
"model": "selflearning-dimmer",
"house": "A",
"unit": "2"
}
]
}
```
