RFXCOM Rollertrol (T0) and AC114 Blinds not working

Post by OZRG17 »

Hoping someone can assist.

Since the upgrade my Rollertrol and AC114 blinds no longer work, however my Somfy still work.

Was using RFXCOM 433E - 1019 prior to upgrade to v3.8191, have upgraded RFXCOM to 1020 still no luck

I have 14xRollertrol (T0) blinds and 12xIntro Blinds using AC114 and 2 Somfy Awnings.

Have tried my old RFXCOM 433 and no luck either.

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

Well I can't assist, but I can confirm the behaviour.
using rfxcom with firmware 1020,

Then updated to latest Domoticz, and can't control my BOFU EY1612 blinds, but the Somfy awnings are working fine. I also noticed that my mysensors devices are found again, and it seems to be given a same id but with 1 or 2 extra pre zero (0) before the actual id number

I am having the same problem with my blinds after updating. If I click on them it says "opening" or "closing" but doesn't nothing. Even timers do not work and none of it appear in the log.

I suppose something has changed in the Unit Code.
Please check with RFXmngr if the motor can be controlled using the same ID and Unit code or maybe a different Unit code.

I have tried to learn a new code from the blind remote and its not recognised by domoticz. Very Strange..

Did you use Type2 firmware with BlindsT0 enabled?

That's not correct! You must use Type2 not Ext2.
After you have added the BlindsT0 remote you can use Ext2 firmware to control the motor.

Ah ok, The blinds were working fine with Ext 2 until I updated Domoticz to the latest stable. Will I lose much by staying with type 2? I assume I would lose my Alecto WS1700 devices.. Is that correct?

I now have it working by re learning the codes. Is there no way of having blind T0 work with other protocols? I assume this has been asked a thousand times lol

After you have configured the BlindsT0 motor using Type2 you can flash Ext2 and control the motor. Or keep using Type2 with BlindsT0 disabled if the protocols you need are present in Type2.
Enabling BlindsT0 will disable all other protocols. The function to receive BlindsT0 is only to receive the remote.

Please see chapter 2.2.2. in the RFXtrx User Guide

Thats exactly what I did in the end. Back on EXT2 for my temp sensors. Thanks for your help. Wonder why we have lost the blinds after Domoticz update and have to delete and re add them.. Very strange. All working now :D

Has no one tried to do this without a remote? I'm able to control my rollertroll with RFXmngr, but i'm not able to add this device to domoticz. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=19376&p=150228#p150228
