Is a simple app to control home devices by turning them on/off, using a simple HTTP call. The app should be running on a raspberry pi (least energy consuption) and be equiped with an telldus tellstick.

what you'll need

You'll need:

raspberry pi,
telldus tellstick,
sd card,

ethernet / usb micro cables

demo

Here's a demo of the app in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdCBzMMkDDY&list=UUYSzMKdiOqRHcGiWcORlKeQ&index=1

PS: Yeap, it's not restful (YET).

wget http://download.telldus.se/TellStick/Software/telldus-core/telldus-core-2.1.1.tar.gz
sudo apt-get install libftdi1 libftdi-dev libconfuse0 libconfuse-dev cmake
cd /usr/src
sudo tar xzf ~/download/telldus-core-2.1.1.tar.gz
cd telldus-core-2.1.1
sudo cmake .
sudo make
sudo make install

then configure /etc/tellstick.conf

user = "nobody"
group = "plugdev"
deviceNode = "/dev/tellstick"
ignoreControllerConfirmation = "false"

device {
  id = 1
  name = "C"
  controller = 0
  protocol = "sartano"
  model = "codeswitch:elro"
  parameters {
    # devices = ""
    house = "A"
    unit = "1"
    code = "1111100100"
    system = "1"
    # units = ""
    fade = "false"
  }
}

device {
  id = 2
  name = "B"
  controller = 0
  protocol = "sartano"
  model = "codeswitch:elro"
  parameters {
    # devices = ""
    house = "A"
