Telldus-core now installable via repository
Posted: 13 Oct 2011, 14:06
Hi all!
I'd just like to make a note here. Telldus has released a major upgrade of telldus-core and now they've actually fixed an armel package for it. This means that all B3 users can install using apt-get instead of hassling with compilation of sources. Just follow the steps on http://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellS ... tionUbuntu (under the heading "Console based installation").
Another big difference is that there is now a daemon running in the background, which also catches stuff from the receiver in Tellstick Duo (for those lucky enough to already have one).
Please note that if installing from package the tdtool binary ends up in /usr/bin instad of /usr/local/bin which is the default if compiling, so Homeautomation users have to change that in the configuration. Also I initially had some problems with the scheduling, because of tdtool returning much faster from calls now. Please contact me if you experience the same and we'll solve it.
