The TellStick Home Assistant integration allows users to add switches and sensors.

To get started, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
switch:
  platform: tellstick

sensor:
  platform: tellstick

  # optionally, you can name your sensors by mapping ID to their name
  2: Outside
  5: Fridge

  # Set only_named to 1 to hide all sensors that you did not mention.
  only_named: 1

# All dimmers will be picked up as lights.
light:
  platform: tellstick

```
