Yes that is unfortunately correct. This is because the different backends. The non-qt is very old and not updated since 1.x. This is why the behavior differs slightly. The non-qt backend should be updated and maybe not be the default-one on OSX?

Both TelldusCenter and the Java interface uses the same configuration file, although looking closely, they don't define the keys the same way.

The Java interfaces uses format like this:
device.1.name

And TelldusCenter uses the following format:
devices.1.name

Note the difference between device and devices. Why is that, Micke? Is this a difference between the TelldusCore version? 2.0.2 is used by the Java interface and 2.0.0 by TelldusCenter.

tdAddDevice() should be called first. It returnes the newly created id which can be used to tdSetName() and the other functions.

This is probably because your compiled TelldusCore uses another settings-backend than the official build. There is a switch in cmake called USE_QT_SETTINGS_BACKEND which is set to OFF as default. The one shipped in our dmg uses the QT-one since we already have the qt-dependency.

Note that this might change for 2.1 so do not depend on where the file is stored!

Sorry, you were right. I had to invoke tdAddDevice() to store it!

Micke, could you please explain when and how tdAddDevice() is supposed to be called? It doesn't take any arguments at all which might feel a bit strange.

Telldus Center seems to store its configuration under /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences/com.telldus.Core.plist
But that's not the file used when running through the Java interface. I haven't yet located that configuration file though.
So, for some reason they don't seem to share the same configuration file. Which is kind of sad as it would be neat to use TelldusCenter to manage the configuration.

Great guide. One thing though. The last step where you add a device is unnecessary if you run TelldusCenter. You can configure your devices though there.
