Re: Cheap 433MHz door sensor (with open and close)

Hi, ... To know the state of the door we need to add 2 small scripts. One when the door is opened and one when closed. Here they are: Door open : return { active = true, -- set to false to disable this script on = { devices = { 'Front door open (event)', }, }, -- in case of a timer event or ...

Re: How to increase range of transmitter? Other antenna, increase transmit power?

I checked a redid some soldering -> no effect
I made a DIY coil antenna from some wire (see http://www.instructables.com/id/433-MHz ... d-antenna/) and put in loose in the antenna connector on the RFLINK => seems to work great.

I am using this antenna: http://www.nodo-shop.nl/nl/antennes/12- ... -nodo.html
How can I determine whether this is a coil or dipole antenna?

How to increase range of transmitter? Other antenna, increase transmit power? [SOLVED]

I bought an RFLink set at nodo shop (including stick antenna), and have connected it to my RPI-1 with Domoticz installed. Everything works fine, except that some of my devices (Promax switches from Action) seem to be too far away from the RFlink (signal has to go through a concrete floor, and is at ...

Re: How to update RFLink firmware

OK I found it on https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwEYW5Q6bg_ZSTk4em1fbklFd3c/view The strange thing is that Google drive indicaties that rflinkloader.exe is present in the zip file, but when I download en open the zip file in Windows, that file is not present. Solution for me was to extract the zip ...

Re: RPI+Arduino+RFlink versus RPI+433MHz transceiver

Thanks for all interesting replies! OK, so for the argument supporting real time processing I could use an Arduino+Transceiver connected to my RPI. 1) Now the question is how relates the RFlink software to protocol decoder software that can run on the Arduino like RCSwitch with regard to supporting ...

RPI+Arduino+RFlink versus RPI+433MHz transceiver

I am new to home automation, and considering to buy either an RFlink or a 433MHz transceiver to connect to my Raspberry Pi. What is the benefit of RFLINK (on Arduino connected to my RPI), compared with RPI+433MHz Transceiver (without RFLINK en Arduino)? I want to be able to make a decision of what ...
