The tellstick component integrates TellStick devices into Home Assistant. This integration allows users to add switches, lights, and sensors which are communicating with 433 MHz. There are a number of vendors (Capidi Elro, Intertechno, Nexa, Proove, Sartano, and Viking) who are selling products that work with TellStick. For more details, please check the TellStick protocol list.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Cover
• Light
• Sensor
• Switch

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

To get started, add the devices to your configuration.yaml file.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
tellstick:

For Hass.io users there is a TellStick add-on available.

# Example configuration.yaml entry for Hass.io with the TellStick add-on
tellstick:
  host: core-tellstick
  port: [50800, 50801]

{% configuration %} signal_repetitions: description: Because the TellStick sends its actions via radio and from most receivers it's impossible to know if the signal was received or not. Therefore you can configure the switch and light to try to send each signal repeatedly. required: false type: integer default: 1 host: description: If you run TellStick on another server or with the Hass.io add-on. required: inclusive type: string port: description: Needed with the host configuration variable. Must be port pair, for example [50800, 50801]. required: inclusive type: list {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Cover %}

This tellstick cover platform allows you to control your TellStick covers.

To use your TellStick device, you first have to set up your Tellstick hub and then add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
cover:
  - platform: tellstick

{% linkable_title Light %}

This tellstick light platform allows you to control your TellStick dimmers.

To use your TellStick device, you first have to set up your Tellstick hub and then add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

{% configuration %} sensor: description: "Entry for a sensor with the ID and its name, e.g., ID: Name." required: false type: string only_named: description: Only add and include specified sensors. If this is not specified all sensors will be imported and the names will be based on each sensor's ID number. required: false default: false type: list keys: id: description: The ID-number of the sensor to include. required: true type: integer name: description: Specify the name of the selected sensor. required: true type: string temperature_scale: description: The scale of the temperature value. required: false default: °C type: string datatype_mask: description: Mask to determine which sensor values to show based on. Please check the TellCore tellcore.constants documentation for details. required: false default: 127 type: integer {% endconfiguration %}

{% linkable_title Examples %}
