tdtool-improved

This is a reimplementation tdtool using python for usage with Tellstick USB devices. Compared to the original tool provided by Telldus this also enable detection of new devices similar to the GUI, Telldus Center. (Use: tdtool-improved --event)

This tool has originally been written by David Karlsson and have been slightly modified and mirrored on github to be integrated into openhabian. The original repository can be found here on bitbucket.

Installation

1. Make sure that a python envoriment is up and running on your system.
2. Copy the python script to a suitable place e.g. /opt/tdtool-improved/
3. Make tdtool-improved.py executable chmod +x /opt/tdtool-improved/tdtool-improved.py
4. Add the tool to your path by symlink it ln -sf /opt/tdtool-improved/tdtool-improved.py /usr/bin/tdtool-improved

Usage

$ tdtool-improved -h
Usage: Support one of the following arguments (except --dimlevel that is allways allowed but ignored in all other cases than combined with --dim).

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l, --list            List currently configured devices
  -n on, --on=on        Turns on device. 'device' could either be an integer
                        of the device-id, or the name of the device. Both
                        device-id and name is outputed with the --list option.
  -f off, --off=off     Turns off device. 'device' could either be an integer
                        of the device-id, or the name of the device. Both
                        device-id and name is outputed with the --list option.
  -d dim, --dim=dim     Dim device. 'device' could either be an integer of the
                        device-id, or the name of the device. Both device-id
                        and name is outputed with the --list option. Note: The
                        dimlevel parameter must also be set on the commandline
  -v level, --dimlevel=level
                        Set dim level. 'level' should be an integer, 0-255.
                        Note: This parameter also requires the --dim/-d for
                        anything to happen.
  -b bell, --bell=bell  Sends bell command to devices supporting this.
                        'device' could either be an integer of the device-id,
                        or the name of the device. Both device-id and name is
                        outputed with the --list option.
  -e learn, --learn=learn
                        Sends a special learn command to devices supporting

                        'device' could either be an integer of the device-id,
                        or the name of the device. Both device-id and name is
