RFlink with CoTech (Unitec?) switches

Post by dakipro »

Hi,
I purchased Mega kit and it is working great with my Nexa 101LC smoke detector. I get notification on my mobile immediately if my smoke detector goes off.

I have a set of Cotech remote switches http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Cotech-Sma ... k-/36-6010
I paired switch with the remote first, and then tried to introduce them in the domoticz. When I press button on the remote it appears in the domotics as a Light/Switch, but it doesn't trigger the switch when I click on it.
Also, each time I click on the remote buttons that have On/Off, another switch appears in Domoticz but none of them triggers the switch.
Here are the switches in Domotics.

[Turn Off] 72 RFLink 00A3A7D5 2 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 73 RFLink 00AD85BC 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 74 RFLink 00AF632C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 75 RFLink 00A44C8C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 76 RFLink 00A8D06C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 77 RFLink 00A0EA7C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 78 RFLink 00A9C85C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 79 RFLink 00A75B1C 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec
[Turn On] 80 RFLink 00AAFEAC 6 Unknown Light/Switch Unitec

Is that some "expected" or known behavior, would logs from RFLink Loader help?

I am looking forward to it :)
Since I started making my own home-automation project, I noticed that you are one of the fastest and most "reliable" in responding to support questions.
I thank you for that, keep up the good work :)

Have the same cotech kit as you, until its supported by the RFLink I would recommend you this from Nexa: http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Nexa-PE-3- ... re/36-4602
that kit works perfectly

Thanks Larsja, only reason I am using Cotech is because I am modifying them internally to work with MySensors project (to have two-way communication), and then I have few of them as leftovers :)
What is your experience with that nexa kit, do you have misfires sometimes, or does domoticz lose synchronization with the real switch state?

Havent noticed any misfires as far as i know ^^ Used one for the aquarium light, turns on at 10.00 and of at 20.00, both status in domoticz and the actuall switch responded as they should. I have just used them in domoticz, havent "linked" them with a normal looking light switch that you can put on the wall.

sorry @Stuntteam it took some time before I got to test this, but I can happily confirm that it is working as expected :)
I have this set of these three and a remote http://www.clasohlson.com/no/Pr366010000/Pr366010000 and they work fine with RFlink.
Althought it is actually the remote that is a "device", meaning that I have two of switches paired in a single group, and domoticz recognizes one device and switches on/off whole group. Which is actually working as I want it to, just that I thought there would be two devices shown.
Thanks for fixing it, marry Christmas to the people celebrating it!
