[Solved] RTS problems in R42

[ono]

Thanks for a great product!
I have a lot of switches sensors that are controlled by RFLink. All works perfectly except my Somfy blind motors (Somfy 74300 blind (Smoove Origin)).
I have followed the guide: https://matdomotique.wordpress.com/2016 ... -et-somfy/ and registered a second remote.
The blind does not pair with RFLink.
I have also tried the steps in this thread: http://www.esp8266.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=873 without success.

I can see that the original remote is registered by RFLink (record 0).

When I send commands using the orignal remote, the blind reacts as it should.

I have tried: 10;RTS;AF3B62;0;DOWN;
and I have even tried to echo back the remote function (wild stab in the dark):
11;20;04;RTS;ID=af3b62;SWITCH=01;CMD=DOWN;

Nothing works.
RFLink seems to receive the signals correctly, but something fails when sending commands.

Why is debug information printed out before all the RTS commands (e.g Debug ab8f8ec56a5133)?

What am I doing wrong?
Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

After doing some more experiments, I think that there is something wrong in the transmitted signal from RFLink. Maybe the rolling code is out of sync?
I need to press the down button on the original remote the same number of times as I sent the down order from RFLINK before the blind reacts.
This indicates that the signal from RFLink is received by the blind but the blind discards it.

Do you have any script that can be used to decode the debug info?
It would be interesting to look at the signal from the remote, especially the rolling code.

[ono]

I moved the antenna an inch and it worked at least once.
This indicates that RFLink works as it should.
Due to the frequency difference, I guess that some blinds are extremely sensitive to distance (just a few inches makes a difference).

II need to get a 433.42MHz transmitter.....

[Stuntteam]

Are you using a different ID than your original remote?
You need to pair RFlink as a second remote control to your RTS receiver.

[ono]

Yes, I am.
It is possible to control the blinds both using the original remote and RFLink.
The antenna placement is crucial.
Thanks again for a great product.

Hi
I also have the problem with RFLink and Somfy Blinds.
I done all as manual https://matdomotique.wordpress.com/2016 ... -et-somfy/. Pairing is ok. But when i try run from RFLink my Blinds and send from RFLoader command

Code: Select all

10;RTS;02FFFF;3;DOWN;

the blinds recived signal and start working down but run about 3-5secund and stop. Ahain send command and again run about 3-5secund. I am with my RFLink and Notebook about my window with blinds. Maybe 2 meters about. From remote Smoove Origin all works ok and Blinds full close down when i push button down.

Please help me.

I try use RFLink with my blinds facade somfy C80 https://www.google.pl/search?%20q=somfy ... 2iQthoM%3A and with remote Smoove Origin and Somfy Telis 4.

[Stuntteam]

Many others got it working.
Clean the eeprom on your rflink and do all the steps exactly as in the explanation. Make sure the first byte of the ID is NOT zero.

Also, there is no need to post your issue on multiple forums and in multiple threads, via mail etc.
Thats kind of spamming is slowing down support for yourself and for others.

[piokuc]

But also for many not working.

How i can clean my eeprom ? By command

Code: Select all

10;RTSCLEAN;

If yes i do this many times. I alos use ID as i write

Code: Select all

02FFFF

How i can read info in RDLoader which is send when i press button on my Smoove Origin or Somfy Telis 4 remote ?

Sorry for multiple post but i need help and i want to run it. I have no idea what is wrong. What am I doing wrong ? I am heartbroken
And i use blinds facade somfy C80 https://www.google.pl/search?q=somfy+c8 ... 2iQthoM%3A. Maybe with this model not working ?

[Stuntteam]

If you mean RFlink loader, then you should see a RTS line when you press a button.
No line means it is currently not supported. In that case you can make a debug log and we will see if we can add support for it.
Note that we have many requests so this will take for sure some time!

Another thing is that you should use an ID that is close to an original ID.. This was explained many times. 02FFFF is not and might cause issues.

[piokuc]

But how read original ID ?

[Stuntteam]

The original ID is displayed when you press the button on the remote.
You make a small change to this ID and assign that as a second remote to the motor controller.

If RFLink does not detect your remote, it is not supported yet. As explained make a debug log in that case.

[piokuc]

Ok i test it probably tomorrow and give you an info.
How i can clear eeprom.?

Thanks for help.


But i have a question. WHen i have remote Smoove Origin and second remote Somfy Telis 4 , i can use RFLink as third remote ?

Goedenavond

Ik ben ook zopas eigenaar geworden van een Rflink Gateway Synology module.
Firmware R42 werd geïnstalleerd.

Ook ik heb problemen met het koppelen van de Somfy rolluiken met mijn RFlink.

Zou er iemand zo vriendelijk willen zijn een "monkey proof" shortlist te maken met de te nemen stappen voor het koppelen van de Rflink met de Somfy RTS rolluiken a.u.b.?

bvb. hoe begin je met het toevoegen van de Rflink als een secundaire afstandsbediening?

Alvast bedankt!

Grtz Dim

Hi
I done next test and nothing news. Still Somfy with RFLink not working. I try read log in debug mode by RFLoader but when i push button on remote Somfy Telis 4 or Smoove Origin but RFLink noit show any data in debug. In serial port logging also not show any data after push button on remote.

But when i pair by manual as i show in previous post my somfy run for abou 3 sec. Once i run it and close full. But it was only once. Never again. I pair my somfy with example ID 212F32. But nothing... For me RFLink not working with somfy blinds facade C80. I think that problem is in firmware code...

[piokuc]

Anybody help me ? Why in RFLoader debug mode not show any code from remote my Somfy but when i pair with RFLink , my RFLink run for about 3 secunds my blinds ? If run send any code and and something reconized from somfy RTS. Stuntteam please help us and help verify this problem.

[bldewit]

Wat is een id dicht bij de originele id? Mijn originele id begint nl met 00, en dat mag je niet gebruiken had ik gelezen. Als ik de originele id pak met 01 als startbit, is dat dan "close enough"?

Thx!
