First post here so please bear with me.
I have a homemade RFLink out of the following components:
Arduino Mega https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-Me ... 0.0.UFPzey
433 MHz transmitter (WL102 type ?) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Min ... 0.0.UFPzey and RXB6 receiver https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RXB6-43 ... 0.0.BZx94K
I made 2 spiral antennae according the guide here https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1set-RF ... 0.0.aqmUcn and soldered them to appropriate pins of the transmitter and the receiver.
Mega is connected via USB cable to Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (flashed with Hass.IO 0.64.3)
According to this guide http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/wiring I made the following physical connections:
Transmitter: pin 1 (-) to RPi GND, pin 2 (+) to RPi pin 15, pin 3 (DAT) to RPi pin 14
Receiver: pin 3 (GND) to RPi GND, pin 5 (+5V) to RPi pin 16, pin 7 (DATA) to RPi pin 19
I enabled rflink component in Home Assistant configuration.yaml and have debug output turned on.
I also have automatic_add option true for lights and sensors.
The receiving part is working pretty well, it receives plenty of useful data.
However, I don't think my transmitter is working at all because when I manually toggle any switch in HA frontend, nothing happens apart from some commands in the HA log file:
Code: Select all
2018-04-17 16:51:19 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.rflink] Sending command: on to Rflink device: eurodomest_258dfa_00

2018-04-17 16:51:19 DEBUG (MainThread) [rflink.protocol] command response: {'node': 'gateway', 'protocol': 'unknown', 'ok': True}
But if I click a button on a remote, RF bridge easily picks it up and then is able to control the switch and I can see its state changing in HA.
Am I doing something wrong here?
How can check my setup and I make it work properly?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
