Re: is RFlink still a good option?

jupp. tried both with the stick antenna and dipole from nodo. dipole is better but stick works quite ok too. don't place the antenna close to metal and such. and also 433 nodes can't be to close together(receivers) they interfere with each other somehow. if u are going to order from nodo maybe ...

Re: is RFlink still a good option?

433 is an old way of delivering data but is sufficient for temp sensors and non critical buttons actuators. if your buying new stuff you should consider zwave since its encrypted and paired. keep up the good work on rflink! and i have excelent reception with a dipole antenna. check your solders or ...

Re: is RFlink still a good option?

Thanks you all for your input.. I'm in doubt: invest some more in 433mhz stuff or go indeed to Homey or Domoticz + Z-wave etc. It's sad I have to buy new hardware and pcb to upgrade the RFlink so now I think I will not do that. Very surprising that the domotica stuff has not evolved much in the last ...

is RFlink still a good option?

I upgraded to the latest version of Domoticz after 3.5 years but then, many KAKU switches didn't work anymore. So I reverted back to my old setup. My RFlink is also old, one of the first versions with seperate Tx and Rx modules. upgrading the RFlink software is not possible because it now uses a ...

Re: Starting with Z-Wave: all Z-wave PLUS/Gen5 or mixed?

Thank you very much, very helpful indeed. I was a little affraid mixing the two types of Zwave versions would 'weaken' the total Zwave network, rendering the ZWave+ benefits useless. My Domoticz system and Zwave Aeon Gen5 USB stick will be placed at the center of the house so hopefully not much ...

Starting with Z-Wave: all Z-wave PLUS/Gen5 or mixed?

I want to ask the opinion of people who have experience with their Z-Wave network: Is is better to have a Z-Wave PLUS(Gen5) network ONLY? (instead of mixing 'old' and new?) Because I'm starting with Z-Wave, I now can choose... Using Domoticz, I would rather have Fibaro switches (longer on the market ...

RFlink keeps restarting, chickens are upset.

I could find a post describing the same problem but I could not find a solution in that post... Error: RFLink: Not received anything for more then 30 seconds, restarting... Every night, the RFlink give errors and stops responding so the chickens are locked up every morning because the chicken coop ...

Push Weather data from Arduino to RPi

Hi all, I have a fantastic weather station and via it's serial port, I capture all the weather data and display it on several displays in my home but wouldn't it be awesome if I could also use it in Domoticz! But as a newbie to Domoticz and RPi, I wonder what is the best approach to get this data to ...

Separate Aurel Transmitter and Receiver for RFLink?

Newbie RLlink Q: Although the RFLink shield is not expensive, I'm curious if it is possible to use the Aurel TX-4MSIL and Aurel RX-4M50RR30SF because I have them laying around and it seems like a waste to not using them... I bought them to use for a NODO project but I never did build it. Thanks for ...
