Set Somfy RTS blind in pairing mode from RFLink

#1 Post by tehtwig » 11 Sep 2023, 20:20

Hi,

I've accidentally crushed my physical RTS remote. This remote was the main remote of my blind. When doing a long press on the button on the back, the blind was set to a pairing mode, waiting for a new remote (or the RFLink) to be paired.

I already have a working entry for this bling in my RFLink, UP;DOWN;STOP commands are working without any issue.

Now that I don't have this physical remote anymore, is it possible to send this pairing mode request to my blind with the RFLink ?

UP, DOWN, STOP, PAIR are available
ON and OFF can also be used as equivalent of UP and DOWN

Thank you for your reply :)

To set the blind in pairing mode, first I have to simulate a long press on the physical PAIR button on the remote (which I don't have anymore). This command only sends a short PAIR signal :

Code: Select all

10;RTS;AAAAAA;0001;B;PAIR;
How can I simulate a long press on this PAIR button with RFLink ?

The pair command is the same as pressing the button at the back of the remote.
It is used for registering and deregistering remotes from the motors memory..

Thanks for your reply.

The simple button push can be used to pair/unpair a remote ONCE the blind is listening in pairing mode.

Unfortunately, a simple button push doesn't tell the blind to go to pairing mode. You need to do a long press for that.

I think there's no RFLink solution here, so I've done the electrical reset procedure on my blind to fully erase it's memory and set it in pairing mode for 2 minutes.

Thank you again :)
