Jeletask

An open source java API for Teletask domotics.

It is the purpose to create an API for software developers or domotics enthusiasts, who are interested in generating their own control environment for the TELETASK domotics systems, so you can create your own user interface and connected solutions and services.

If you own a Teletask MICROS+, you need the (paid) DLL32 LIBRARY (TDS15132).
However, if you're a java programmer like myself, you don't want to use a windows dll :-).

Teletask documentation on how their API works can be found here: https://teletask.be/media/3109/tds15132-library.pdf

The program supports the MICROS+ (maybe also NANOS/PICOS, but untested), but you'll have to buy a licence to be able to make TCP calls.

You can find the latest docker images at: https://hub.docker.com/r/ridiekel/jeletask2mqtt

Configuring

Create a configuration json file following this example. At this time I can only test with MICROS_PLUS. Please log an issue when you are having trouble with the other types of central unit. If teletask has not changed their binary API, it should be compatible.

The type Can be either PICOS, NANOS, MICROS_PLUS

Notes:

Both lines each have maximum length of 16 chars. This is a Teletask limitation.
message_type can either be "alarm" or "message".

HomeAssistant

Auto configuration should work with relays, dimmers, motors, sensors, timed functions, flags, general/local/timed moods, conditions and digital inputs. Other types are not yet supported, work in progress. Pleas log an issue when having trouble with auto configuration in HA.

The bridge creates 1 device with id teletask-<TELETASK_ID>, and adds entities with the following entity id pattern: light.teletask_<TELETASK_ID>_<FUNCTION_TYPE>_<COMPONENT_NUMBER>, which should be unique for your installation.

Examples:

switch.teletask_my_teletask_relay_1
light.teletask_my_teletask_relay_36

Additional HA config

Relay

The default type of relay is light, but can be overridden. Possible values: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/discovery/#lighting
