TellStick
tellstick
The TellStick integration integrates TellStick devices into Home Assistant. This integration allows users to add switches, lights, and sensors which are communicating with 433 MHz. There are several 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.
In Apple Home through HomeKit Bridge
What HomeKit Bridge makes of each kind of entity this integration creates, read from its source code. A device only gets the ones that apply to it.
| Entity | Shows up as | Note |
|---|---|---|
light | Light | |
switch | Switch or outlet | |
cover | Blind, garage door, window or door | |
sensor | Sensor (humidity, temperature) |
What people report

How it connects
Assumed state
Sends commands but can’t read the device’s state back, so Home Assistant assumes it worked.
