I Recently got interested in home automation, and set up OpenHab, first on a PC, then On a Raspberry Pi.

Depending on your system and connection, downloading and installing Xfce packages will take some time. Installing Xrdp # Xrdp package is available in the standard Debian repositories. To install it, run: sudo apt install xrdp. The service will automatically start once the installation process is complete. To install the node-telldus package, run these commands: sudo npm install node-gyp mkdir node-telldus cd node-telldus sudo npm install node-telldus. You may have to change the user and group in /etc/tellstick.conf to root to get Tellstick data into your Node application.

It all worked well, after a fairly steep learning curve, my Harmony hub and Tradfri Lights were easy to set up.

I was particularly impressed by the easy installation and configuration of OpenHab compared to other systems I have tried.

Then I remembered that I have a couple of Orange Pi Ones left over from my eBay trading period, so decided to try it on one of those, as I have other uses for my RPi.

The Orange pi One has a 4 core ARM processor and 512Mb of memory.

I also have an Orange pi lite, which has built in wifi, so that will be the next experiment.

First I downloaded Armbian from:

I chose this image:

Armbian_5.35_Orangepione_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113.7z

One piece: stampede download. Unzipped it, and copied it onto an SDcard using Etcher from Resin.io

Booted up and configured Armbian.

The default user is root with a password of 1234 which you are asked to change after installation is completed.

Then I logged in via SSH. (I use Linux on all my PCs, so command line from here only I’m afraid ).

ssh <user@ipaddressof orangepi>

First update:

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

a while later….

sudo reboot

Install Java (OpenHab runs on Java)

sudo add–apt–repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt update

sudo apt install oracle-java8-installer

sudo reboot

Install OpenHab following the instructions here for Debian:

15 minutes later, I had OpenHab running on OPi1 IPaddress:8080

I installed some bindings, and everything started appearing in my inbox.

Next step was to install and configure my Tellstick USB stick.

The Tellstick is a USB 433MHz transmitter for controlling a variety of proprietary power sockets.

I have one of the original Tellstick units, (The newer Tellstick duo is a transceiver version) and several EasyHome 433MHz sockets.

To install the Tellstick on Armbian: (updated as the original commands are outdated)

sudo sh -c ‘echo “deb http://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.telldus.com unstable main’

sudo wget http://download.telldus.se/debian/telldus-public.key

sudo apt-key add telldus-public.key

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y telldus-core libftdi1 libconfuse-dev

The following steps may not be necessary, if the service is enabled by the installer.

Start the service:

sudo systemctl start telldusd.service

Check it is running:

sudo systemctl status telldusd.service

should show something like this:

● telldusd.service – Tellstick service daemon
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/telldusd.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Sun 2017-12-24 10:19:33 UTC; 1h 24min ago
Process: 2190 ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/telldusd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 2191 (telldusd)
CGroup: /system.slice/telldusd.service
└─2191 /usr/local/sbin/telldusd

Dec 24 10:19:33 orangepione systemd[1]: Starting Tellstick service daemon…

Dec 24 10:19:34 orangepione telldusd[2191]: Connecting to TellStick (1781/C30) with serial A6008hvI

then

sudo systemctl enable telldusd.service

Will set it up to start at boot time.

it should show this:

Synchronizing state of telldusd.service with SysV init with /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install…
Executing /lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install enable telldusd

That’s it!

You can now configure your devices by editing /etc/tellstick.conf

sudo nano /etc/tellstick.conf

Add the Tellstick binding and the Tellstick and its devices should start appearing i n your in-tray.

The 1-Wire bus is a cheap low-speed bus for devices like weathersensors, access control, etc. It can be attached to your system viaserial, USB, I2C, and other interfaces.

This package is a metapackage depending on various other OWFS packages.Installing this package gets you a FUSE daemon, server arbitrates accessto the bus from multiple client processes, small ftp and webserver.
