Installing on Raspbian Stretch (Pi3)

[krambriw]

Hello Emil, followed your guide, got the errors below. Is maybe not "your problem" but it blocks my ambition to install node-red-contrib-tellstick
Kind regards, Walter

I found a work-around,

When you do
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

add the following line (without the #):

deb http://download.telldus.com/debian/ stable main

add instead this line

deb https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/download.telldus.com unstable main

After this, the rest works fine and tellstick is working fine in node-red, also on Stretch
