Help appreciated. In my installation Tellstick switches and Tellstick DUO and Tellstick Live are essential components.

I believe openHABian is an ARM based distribution like the Raspberry pi etc.? not for i386.
I think you have to compile it yourself…https://developer.telldus.com/wiki/TellStickInstallationSource

openHABian is just a bunch of scripts that can be used to configure any Linux distro that has apt. If one follows the manual installation instructions for openHABian you can install it on any platform.

I’m reading those errors as meaning the packages you want to install via apt are not available for Ubuntu 16.04. Now this might be they didn’t exist, or it might be you need to include some other repo to make it available. I can’t say.

Ah :+1:

Thanks Rich!
I’ll keep trying but I consider moving to RFtrx433 instead. This is getting hairy!
The good news: openHABian helps you to stay away from Linux - The bad news: Not for long…" :grinning:

I’m going to have to remember and use that line in the future. :smiley:
