Welcome to Telldus API
Here you will find information and sample code for develop against Telldus Live!
In order to get started, please see our php example implementing the API.
You can also test the API right in your browser using the API explorer.
Help us develop local access using TellStick Net, build your own firmware
We are developing the support for accessing the TellStick Net from you local network. We do not believe in predatory vendor lock-in. We are not happy with the situation that you are required to use our Telldus Live! service with your TellStick Net, even if the service rocks :).
We belive you should have the ability to use whatever thirdparty service you like, or even develop your own!
The reason for the requirement of Telldus Live! is due to the limited time we had before the launch. We simply prioritized the cloud service before the local access since we believe this is the main advantage TellStick Net has over TellStick Duo.
We have now reached a point where we really need your help and input on this. We have therefore released a custom firmware, prepared for local access only, which you can build and hack on your own.
The firmware includes all the protocols supported by TellStick Net version 3 and TellStick Duo version 5. To communicate with the device, read the protocol documentation.
The code is hosted in a git repository available on our server. You need to checkout the t114 branch using:
$ git clone -b t114 http://git.telldus.com/tellstick-net.git
There is also a sample client software available in the 'client' folder. It is written in python and shows both the autodiscovery feature as well as sending a simple command.
The firmware is released under GPL.
New Python example for Telldus Live!
We have just published a new python example for our Telldus Live! API. It is simply a tdtool implementation over OAuth instead of telldus-core.
It has currently only been testen on Linux, please try it out on other platforms and let us know how it works.
You need the Python OAuth and ConfigObj modules installed for this to work. Then you need to add a keypair for PUBLIC_KEY and PRIVATE_KEY. You can generate one here: http://api.telldus.com/keys/index
