Core: Tellduslive - Local API multiple locations/units (bug or lack of documentation?)

[tubalainen]

Make sure you are running the latest version of Home Assistant before reporting an issue.

You should only file an issue if you found a bug. Feature and enhancement requests should go in the Feature Requests section of our community forum:

Home Assistant release (hass --version):
0.58.2 (HASSIO 1.1)

Python release (python3 --version):
3.5(?, HASSIO)

Component/platform:
tellduslive

Description of problem:
I have two telldus units on the same network, when adding a telldus unit that has been auto-discovered as a "local API" there is no option to add both units. Only the first discovered unit gets added.
It does not help to add the second unit in the configuration.yaml file using the tellduslive: and host: . Do not know the syntax for tellduslive.conf either, did some trial and error but without success.

Please advice.

Bug or lack of documentation?

Expected:
Multiple "locations" or "units" to work with local API.

@molobrakos , any thoughts?

Lack of implementation :-) You are correct, it should probably be mentioned in the documentation. I agree it would be nice to have. Please submit code for this use case if you feel like adding this.

Ah, good!

Oh I wish I had the skills to help .. At best I can produce "banankod" with errors. You do not want me in your component, believe me. ;)

Submitting an update to the documentation requires minimal coding skills however :-)
