I purchased a RFLINK board from Nodoshop (Somfy compatible) and with a decent Antenna to control 8 Somfy Sonese 30 Wireless Rollerblinds in 5 rooms.
They are paired to 5 remotes; some single channel (Situo 1 RTS - 1 blind in a room), and some 5 channel (Situo 5 RTS - 2 blinds in a room).
I followed various instructions I founds on this site and elsewhere, but I can not get any of the blinds to Pair:
Here is my process:
Starting off all clean:
Code: Select all
10;RTSSHOW;

I see this in the logs:

20;99;Debug;RTS P1;a3650103b70e28;
20;9A;RTS;ID=b70e28;SWITCH=01;CMD=STOP;
I then use the RTS PAIR command, to attempt to pair RFLink to the blind:
Code: Select all
10;RTS;1b602b;0123;3;PAIR
Code: Select all
20;9B;OK;
I check the RTS table to ensure my codes are in the table:
Code: Select all
10;RTSSHOW;
RTS Record: 0 Address: B70E28 RC: 0104
RTS Record: 1 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
RTS Record: 2 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
RTS Record: 3 Address: 1B602B RC: 0124
RTS Record: 4 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
...
RTS Record: 15 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
I then wait a few mintes to ensure the blind is out of programming mode. and after a few minutes the blinds jog UP and DOWN, indicating the blind is no longer in programming Mode
I then try to send the the UP command to the the blind:
Code: Select all
10;RTS;1B602B;3;UP;
20;9C;OK;
I then check that the RTS table has updated:
Code: Select all
10;RTSSHOW;
RTS Record: 0 Address: B70E28 RC: 0104
RTS Record: 1 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
RTS Record: 2 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
RTS Record: 3 Address: 1B602B RC: 0125
RTS Record: 4 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
...
RTS Record: 15 Address: 000000 RC: 0000
I then though that maybe the transmitter on the RTX-MID-5V was not working (either broken or soldered badly) and that was why the pairing was not working.
So, being the curious type, I tried sending the the UP command using the original remotes ID and RC in Record 0 (B70E28):
Code: Select all
10;RTS;B70E28;0;UP;
20;9F;OK;
So the Transmitter is working fine, but the PAIRING is not working at all.
Any ideas anyone?
Has anyone been able to pair successfully with the Somfy Sonese 30 Wireless Roller Blinds?
I know I can pair unused channels on my 5 channel remotes to the blinds and use those codes for RFLink, but I don't have enough 'empty' channels on the remotes to control all the blinds (some channels are used in to control the 2 blinds in a room together, so I only have 6 free channels).
I have also tried putting the blinds into Programming mode using the button on the blinds, but that did not work either. And when I am doing the pairing, I don't see anything in the logs, even when turning on the DEBUG mode in RFLink Loader.
So I am stumped!
I may try and DEBUG the process of adding on of the empty remote channels to a blind and see if we see anything shows in the logs. Would that be useful to anyone?
Cheers
