(Solved) RF-Link documentationlink is dead

Because I want to add a secondary 315MHz RF-Link gateway to my RasPi/Domoticz setup I was looking for the documentation how to connect the different tranceivers to the RF-Link-Mega2560.
There used to be a link here on the frontpage to https://www.nemcon.nl/blog2 but that link gives a 403 error.
All the available documentation for RFlink was on that page and also the firmware bin-files could be downloaded from there..
Does anybody know if there is another page where I can find firmware/documentation for RF-Link ?.

@ siggy
If you know an alternative that is almost as cheap as RFLink I'm interested.
For me RF-Link is working i.c.w. domoticz for almost 5 years without problems.
I searched my backup drives and found FW 45 so I can build myself a second GW on 315MHz, but it will be less easy without the latest documentation. On my 433MHz GW I have version 48 but I did not find that yet in my backups.

The link on the frontpage of ESPEasy linked to the wrong RF-Link page, https://www.nemcon.nl/blog2/ is dead.

On http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/ I found the documentation.

Do you have the link to the page where it linked to the old page?
Then I can update it.

Obviously RFLink is supported via rflink.nl and is not at all dead.
@siggy, it is fine if you want to believe that and want to use something else. But dont bother posting here with incorrect statements.

A new release is planned. One of the issues we are facing is that we get hundreds of support requests per week ranging from very simple questions to really difucult bug issues.
I spent lots of time and efforts on fixing bugs and implementing new devices. After bug fixes and new implementations test versions are send out and unfortunately it frequently happens that we never hear back leaving us in limbo about the state of a fix. Not knowing if a fix or implementation works or breaks things means we have to revert to the previous state.


btw, I have fixed a redirection so that the link forwards to rflink.nl

Thanks TD-er and Stuntteam for the great work you are doing for the community.
The link is working now.

User siggy apparently has deleted his post and left this forum.
Maybe siggy found a solution that works better for him but I guess we'll never know for sure. ;)
