Openhab Tellstick Binding - Beginner question

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi,

I’m
transitioning from a small tellstick duo implementation (3-4 switches and a
couple of sensors) to openhab. I want to utilize the tellstick binding but I’m
having no luck.

I’m having
difficulties adding the sensors. There is nothing displayed when I’m trying to
show the output of the sensor.

In the logs
I get the following:

2016-11-11
16:26:24.021 [DEBUG] [.b.t.internal.TellstickBinding] - Got sensorEvent for 136
type Temperature proto fineoffset name:null value:-0.3

So it seems
like the binding is working but I’m not able to display it.

I created a
new small item and sitemap file just to try:

item:

Number
TELLSTICK_ITEM2 “Temperature [%.1f °C]” {
tellstick=“136:Temperature:Temperature:fineoffset” }

sitemap:

Frame label="Miljö"

icon=“office” {

    Text item=TELLSTICK_ITEM2

    Text item=TELLSTICK_ITEM2

label=“Köket [%.1f °C]” icon=“temperature”

    Switch item=TELLSTICK_ITEM2

label=“Idas rum - Lampa” icon=“light”

}

It seems
that I’m missing something obvious but I can’t seem to find out what!

Also here is the output of tdtool -l:

SENSORS:

Hi

In case someone finds this thread.

I finally found a solution to my problem. Everthing was correct my items and sitemaps were OK the problem I had was a due to the encoding of these files.

I’m on a PI and was editing the files over samba with Notepad++. Notepa++ was encoding the files wrong. The correct format should be UTF-8 without BOM.
