TellStick
The tellstick
integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.
[Learn more] integrates TellStick devices into Home Assistant. This integration allows users to add switches, lights, and sensors which are communicating with 433 MHz. There are a number of vendors (Capidi Elro, Intertechno, Nexa, Proove, Sartano, and Viking) who are selling products that work with TellStick. For more details, please check the TellStick protocol list.
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
Configuration
To get started, add the integrationIntegrations connect and integrate Home Assistant with your devices, services, and more.
[Learn more] to your configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI.[Learn more] file.
After changing the configuration.yaml
The configuration.yaml file is the main configuration file for Home Assistant. It lists the integrations to be loaded and their specific configurations. In some cases, the configuration needs to be edited manually directly in the configuration.yaml file. Most integrations can be configured in the UI.[Learn more] file, restart Home Assistant to apply the changes. To view the changes, go to Settings > Devices & services > Entities.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tellstick:
There is a TellStick add-on available in the Home Assistant add-on store.
# Example configuration.yaml entry with the TellStick add-on
tellstick:
host: core-tellstick
port: [50800, 50801]
Configuration Variables
Because the TellStick sends its actions via radio and from most receivers it’s impossible to know if the signal was received or not. Therefore you can configure the switch and light to try to send each signal repeatedly.

Configuration Variables
Only add and include specified sensors. If this is not specified all sensors will be imported and the names will be based on each sensor’s ID number.
The protocol that the sensor uses. Can be used if id isn’t unique enough.
Mask to determine which sensor values to show based on. Please check the TellCore tellcore.constants documentation for details.
