Would this be possible?
Yes, when you have a RFXcom868 connected and correctly configured in domoticz.
Then when you press the RF15 the switch is detected and then you can make a automation based on the status off that switch.

I use an RFLink with 433 support to handle my KlikAanKlikUit modules. But this version of RFLink does not support 868.3.

So I am looking for a relatively cheap way to receive the signals from the remote control unit...

Just to clarify: I only have the RF15 remote controller, the one with the six buttons. I donot own or plan to purchase any other Orcon devices.
The one and only thing I would like to establish, is to receive the signals from the remote controller and feed them into Domoticz.
Preferably for a small amount of €€€... 8-)

and in the actions you can make a command to execute

OK, but you mention "when you have RFXcom"in one of your previous posts... I don't have one, only an RFLink, and not supporting this frequency!
So I am looking for a cheap bit of hardware to support 868!
