RTS Somfy : working in R37 ?

[lunarok]

Hi,

I get some feedback from RTS not working in sending with the R37
The orders are seen by Rflink. If order is sent, the rflink just answer with its OK trame and that's all, no reaction from the blinds.
As it is say in the release notes to be working, is it really working or will have more to come to make it usefull ?

Hi,
It is working but we have done some improvements anyway to increase reliability.

I haven't see the 3 orders to send.
Have implement them, waiting for feedback
Thanks for your work

I wanted to know about the progress on RTS protocol coverage.
Looking at R41, I have seen in RFLink Protocol Reference.txt commands like RTSCLEAN and RTSSHOW as well as RTS,...,PAIR.
I wonder whether it can be used.
If so, how to use it

Thanks !

It works as reported by several people.
Note that the original transmitter and receiver are using a rolling code.

RFlink can listen to the signal and display received commands. This can be used to initiate additional actions.

RFlink can also transmit to the original receiver. It can do that replacing the original transmitter, this will bring the rolling code of the original transmitter out of sync. A better way is to pair RFLink as a second remote to the receiver. That way there are no rolling code issues.

Use RFlink Loader, receive the original remote with it.
Note the command that you see when you press the button
Take the ID and increase for example the first digit with 1

Follow the pairing as described in the manual.
When you have to press a button, send the following command:
10;RTS;1b602b;0123;PAIR; you need to use the ID that you just received and changed.)

Manual control then is done with
10;RTS;1b602b;0;UP;
10;RTS;1b602b;0;DOWN;
10;RTS;1b602b;0;STOP;

Add the device to your Home Automation program and you should be good to go.

Hi Stuntteam,

I did exactly what you said to pair my RFLink with my Somfy RTS sunscreen.
But during pairing the screen does not react to de pair command.

20;2F;RTS;ID=d4042b;SWITCH=01;CMD=STOP;
10;RTS;d4042c;0123;PAIR
20;30;OK;

RFLink accepts the command but no reaction from the screen.
I tried it also from a distance of roughly 50 cm so range should not be the problem I guess.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Try a different ID.. It seems not all values are accepted

[rbravenboer]

Oke, Thanks for the suggestion.
I used another ID and I could pair RFLink with my screen.

I placed the screen in learn mode. The screen went down and up as a respons.
I send the following command:
10;RTS;2b602b;0123;PAIR;
20;09;OK;
And the screen responded with again a short down and up.
So far so good.
But it is not responding to any of the manual commands I send:
10;RTS;2b602b;0;DOWN;
20;0A;OK
10;RTS;2b602b;0;DOWN;
20;0B;OK;
10;RTS;2b602b;0;DOWN;
20;0C;OK;
10;RTS;2b602b;0;UP;
20;0D;OK;

No response from the screen.
Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance!
