Ok, quick & dirty: In Domoticz: Go to Setup -> Hardware, Select 'Dummy' from the drop down list and click add. Then, after the page reloads, you'll see the new dummy hardware in your list. Click on 'Create Virtual Sensors', enter name and choose your type. Go to Setup -> Devices and search for y...

Meanwhile, I received the second RXB6 I ordered. This one looks different from the first one. Besides a golden Q.C. Passed Sticker (the other one is silver) it has almost no markings. The first one I received has "RXB6" printed on the back and below it reads "V2.0". Then, there i...

@JMJ: Thank you, this is, what I've had in mind. Will have to search ebay/ali though, since the one linked by you does not ship to germany.

@mrwee: Thank you, I will look into this as well, depending which option might be cheaper.

Does anyone know of a ready available 220V AC mains voltage detector module utilizing an optoisolator/optocoupler from China (AliExpress, ...)? Although pretty simple, I do lack the time to source parts and build them. However, I haven't spotted one on Ali yet. The only thing that could be probably ...

@danielchagasrs

I am pretty sure, you haven't downloaded the source code for this plugin but instead a website.
Have a look at the code in your arduino ide and you will see...

On github, either click on 'raw' first and then copy/paste the code into the ino or use git clone

data

Yes, use the 1MB image.

data

Is the serial port in use by another application?

data

@s4nder
Thank you very much for these plugins. I hope they'll find their way into the regular build.
Works fine on both - R147_RC8 and R148

This is an RXB6 receiver. You can get the receiver module alone for about US$1.21 here: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/IybEuny
I hope the next release will make use of the RSSI output available on v2.0 of this receiver:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2502

data

Which receiver do you use?

data

Have you installed the Arduino IDE?
If not, do so. Then, download the source, compile and install.

See the tutorial at: http://www.letscontrolit.com/wiki/index ... are_Upload
Don't forget to set the correct flash size (1024)

data

Update: RSSI Out works! I just received one of the RXB6 modules I ordered and it is V2.0. This version provides RSSI Out without any modifications on the DER pin. Get yours for just US$1.21 on AliExpress: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/IybEuny With 20cm wire attached to the antenna pin I measured a...

Probably you'll just need to switch the state of the gpio where the rx/tx switch is connected to.

data

Check out the rc-switch library: https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch

data

Yes, they work.

data

Which TX? The modules or the keyfob remotes?
They work both.

Yes, R147 works fine.
It even reports the correct flash-size:

Have you tried the KAKU Plugin from the Playground?

Ok, heartbeat is the wrong word. Basically, I'd like to monitor the noisefloor on 433MHz - similar to a temperature sensor sending regular data. So I thought of not just providing the RSSI when a signal is received but also give me an average of the idle or background noise value every n minutes. Kn...

data

@Stuntteam:
And when you are at it, please also add some kind of heartbeat for the noisefloor:
a periodic (e.g. maybe 1 or 5 minutes interval?) reporting of the background noise.

That would be really great!

data

Here's something that might save you some time when implementing the RSSI output.
Despite being developed for the analog RSSI output of a RFM12B, it should be somewhat
similar to our modules:

@justblair: Here's one for you: http://www.instructables.com/id/433-MHz-tape-measure-antenna-suits-UHF-transmitte/?ALLSTEPS I just found something else: Apparently, the SYN470RF IC also offers RSSI on pin 13 (CAGC): ... voltages presented here [on PIN 13] ranged from ~1.34V (when beside a companion ...

From what I understand, only v2.0 of this module provides RSSI out. Maybe versions < 2.0 has some parts missing or a different pcb. See e.g. http://www.jmrth.com/en/rxb6.asp > ... > Analog RSSI Output (only for V2.0) Which version do you have? Can you post a photo? What is printed on the back of the...

While on my search for the best receiver module for RFLink, I stumbled over the RXB6 Version 2 ! Besides being a sensitive receiver anyway, its main advantage over any other receiver seems to be, that it has an additional analog RSSI-signal output. Connecting this pin to an analog input of the Mega2...

data

Maybe my issue is related:

By issuing the command 10;Kaku;F;F;ON I can turn on my socket. However, it does not get properly recognized in the devices list.
Instead it shows up as ELRO AB400 (with different unit no. and id.) and does not work.

How can I create a generic Kaku Protocol switch?

data

Have you made any changes on the GPIO page?

I have the same setup as you do but have not this issue.

data

Sounds good. Are you using RFLink to receive these? If so, which receiver module do you have installed?

data

Ok, thank you for the details. Good to know I can use only three of these at once.

data

Remove all lines with 'inputswitchstate x,y', try again and post your results please.

How many of these devices do you operate? Do you know how many individual codes they support? A simple Chinese sensor: measures temperature and relative humidity, small LCD display, battery operated, transmitting the values into RF:ink/Domoticz.

Can you recommend better ones?

What about the KERUI D026?

Do you have experience how long the batteries usually last?
Would be great to have a device where the batteries last > 12 months.

It's not an animation behind that link, its just the ws2812b LED-ring I bought on Aliexpress: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/EEYzzVf

I'd like to generate some simple animations with a neopixel led ring such as this one http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/eYjqJmE with a ruleset. Is there such a thing as a FOR or WHILE instruction available? I thought of using the according plugin from the playground: https://github.com/ESP8266nu/ESPEa...

Until we find out what RFLinkSmall is all about, maybe you can utilize either the RF 433 plugin for KAKU in the playground http://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2032 or the nexa-plugin from milan.gsm / qadra.sk? http://www.letscontrolit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1103&...

data

Since I had not much luck with my switches (ELRO AB440 and Everflourish EMW200R), would it be possible
to simply add a raw rx and tx mode? So instead of giving me unit/id/state just a raw number? That's how
I handle it currently on raspberry and arduino nano.

I just did a quick search and this is the cheapest set with a 6dBi antenna and suitable Pigtail I found: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/NJqBuzR Or you wait until you get those cheap sets and then head out for a high gain antenna with the matching connector. Since my order has not arrived yet, I can...

data

Have a look at http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/6UnaiII I just ordered a bunch of these. For about 70ct you get the cable with matching connectors and an external antenna. Alternativelly, you can buy just the pigtail without antenna in different lengths: e.g. 15cm http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/372v...

How can I use this to send a specific code?
I have a bunch of ELRO AB440S units I'd like to switch.
