After update from 246 to 1009 remote switches don't switch

[Bernd]

Hi,

Last weekend I updated my RFXtrx433E from firmware version 246 to 1009. Since this update the RFXtrx has trouble in switching my KaKu front-door switch. It is a switch rather far away from the transceiver but it used to work 99% of the time. Now, since the update, it works 0%
The output power is set to 10 dBm (the max).

Has something changed between version 246 and 1009 which reduces the transmit power, and so the range?

Thanks,
Bernd

Try to If flash version 246 to See If iT works.

Make sure the correct modes are set, they can reset on firmware upgrades.

Otherwise you'll have to email rfxcom and speak to them about any possible changes to the firmware which has effected the power output.

Mmm, I'll first flash version 1011 and see what that brings.
BTW: I used the flash utility from Domoticz for the first time, so not RFXFlash.

Otherwise mount the bigger antenna.
