The `tellstick` sensor platform allows you to get current meteorological data from a [TellStick](http://www.telldus.se/products/tellstick) device.
To use your TellStick device, you first have to set up your [Tellstick hub](https://home-assistant.io/components/tellstick/) and then add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: tellstick
```
Configuration variables:
- **ID: Name** (*Optional*): Entry for a sensor with the name for it and its ID.
- **only_named** (*Optional*): Only show the named sensors. Set to `True` to hide sensors.
- **temperature_scale** (*Optional*): The scale of the temperature value.
- **datatype_mask** (*Optional*): Mask to determine which sensor values to show based on. Please check the [TellCore tellcore.constants documentation](https://tellcore-py.readthedocs.org/en/v1.1.2/constants.html#module-tellcore.constants) for details.
