Home Assistant, Dooya V4 and an underscore

#1 Post by jgrob12 » 20 Aug 2020, 19:07

Hello,

I have had great times with rflink for a number of years combining it seamlessly with domoticz and, more recently Home Assistant. I think its brilliant.

I am trying to use it with blinds that are easily recognised in rflink loader and Home Assistant debug as dooya_v4 6d5f8e00 3f with standard UP, DOWN, and STOP commands.

Unfortunately I can't seem to pass the dooya_v4 protocol in either the 'cover' entity in my configuration.yaml or in the 'rflink.send_command' developer service.

I get a 'failed to call service' error. Having played with options I am sure that it has something to do with the '_' in 'Dooya_v4'.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Oh, and I have tried rrfind but the commands are UP, DOWN and STOP from the Dooya remote so that doesn't work either.

RFFind is not related to Dooya.
I think you should check with HA for assistance.
The underscore is in a RFlink name label. HA should accept whatever that label is.

Thanks, great that RFLink is still supported, thank you again.

For anyone else who found your way here, I haven't asked for a change to the HA RFlink component yet, but I have figured out that node-red is capable of sending correctly formatted commands via the rflink gateway using a rflink node. I imagine this might be my answer on HA forums. Now I just need to work out how! 😆

For anyone finding this, the Python-RFlink code has now been updated and I have put in a PR to update the Home Assistant Dependency. This, once merged will allow Home Assistant to control my Louvolite blinds using the Dooya_v4 protocol. Great!
