Ev1527 Chinese devices

[xavierlp]

Hello all

I’m looking for information about integration of EV1527 switches.

I found theses switches and I’d like if one of you could integrate it.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_BUrO9m

I could read some information and it could be possible but in some cases not !!!!

Any feedbacks or advices ?

Thank you very much

EV1527 based devices are already supported, just use the add switch command and press the button and it will save the device code, you will probably find though that these "switches" only send an "On" command with each press, this is because the device they normally connect to toggles it's state each time it receives the "On" signal. It's easy enough in blockly to create a toggle option to alter the state of another switch with each press of the wireless one, once completed you can then add a $ sign to the name of the wireless switch to hide it so you only see the device you want to control.

Thanks a lot Dave.

I will order it based on your feedback

[Dave21w]

I take it you already have either an RFXCom or RFLink for your 433Mhz devices ?

[xavierlp]

Yes I do

A rfxcom RFXtrx433E.

thanks

[xavierlp]

So I just received theses devices.

To integrate it, I used the switches panel, then the button learn Light/switch

I press the button of the device but Domoticz do not "find" it !

Any clues ?

Use the latest Pro1 firmware in the RFXtrx433E.
Check with RFXmngr if the button is received.

Enable "add new devices" in Domoticz for 5 minutes.

[xavierlp]

Thanks a lot

It works now

Hi,

I found this thread and your comment because I also have these sensors and just started with Domoticz.
My RFLink found the front door and it does say ON all the time, If set manually to OFF it set ON when opening the door.

Could you give more details on how to make a script that records if the door has been opened?

[xavierlp]

I bought a switch not a door contact. So it is different

How do you see the device details on the device tab? Do you see Open / Closed or On / Off in the data column?

[Jasper79]

On/Off, once its on it does not go off by itself.

I've been trying and it does seem to work like this.

That will work but does update your dummy device when there is any device activity on your system. Can you try changing the devicetype to doorcontact (on the switch tab) and use below dzVents script to toggle the contact n seconds after opening?

Code: Select all

return  
{
    on = 
    { 
        devices = 
        {
            'Door', -- set to name of your door contact
        }, 
    }, 

    logging = 
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'Door', 
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local toggleDelay = 10

        local function toggleContact(dv, delay)
            local delay = delay or 0
            local iToggle = 1 
            if dv.state == 'Open' then iToggle = 0 end
            local url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=' .. dv.idx .. '&nvalue=' .. iToggle
            dz.openURL(url).afterSec(delay)
        end

        if item.state == 'Open' then
            dz.notify('Door alert','Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds')
            dz.log('Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            toggleContact(item, toggleDelay)
        end
    end
}

[Jasper79]

Setting it to door contact shows a closed/locked door icon and state closed.
Then opening the door shows a open door and state open.

Then nothing else happens after closing the door, It does not seem to reset.

On device I changed the name Door To Voordeur as in my devices list.

Everything else is untouched.

Code: Select all

return  
{
    on = 
    { 
        devices = 
        {
            'Voordeur', -- set to name of your door contact
        }, 
    }, 

    logging = 
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'Door', 
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local toggleDelay = 10

        local function toggleContact(dv, delay)
            local delay = delay or 0
            local iToggle = 1 
            if dv.state == 'Open' then iToggle = 0 end
            local url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=' .. dv.idx .. '&nvalue=' .. iToggle
            dz.openURL(url).afterSec(delay)
        end

        if item.state == 'Open' then
            dz.notify('Door alert','Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds')
            dz.log('Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            toggleContact(item, toggleDelay)
        end
    end
}

Fixed that,

make sure that in the Security section in the settings (Setup > Settings > System > Local Networks (no username/password) you allow 127.0.0.1 (and / or ::1 when using IPv6 ) to not need a password.

Code: Select all

Now it works.
I'll try for a couple a days before I move on to a siren
Maybe email notifications should go first.

[Jasper79]

Next question,
Door number 2, new script or can it be added in the previous script?

Code: Select all

return  
{
    on = 
    { 
        devices = 
        {
            'Deursensor Voordeur', -- set to name of your door contact 
            'Deursensor Jenniffer',
            --'Deursensor',
        }, 
    }, 

    logging = 
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'Door', 
    },

    execute = function(dz, item)

        local toggleDelay = 10

        local function toggleContact(dv, delay)
            local delay = delay or 0
            local iToggle = 1 
            if dv.state == 'Open' then iToggle = 0 end
            local url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=' .. dv.idx .. '&nvalue=' .. iToggle
            dz.openURL(url).afterSec(delay)
        end

        if item.state == 'Open' then
            dz.notify('Door alert','Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds')
            dz.log('Door is opened. Closing the contact in ' .. toggleDelay .. ' seconds',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
            toggleContact(item, toggleDelay)
        end

Just to be sure, It does work .

[Dave21w]

A quick question before I post my version as I don't want to make an idiot of myself.
Reading this script am I correct that after the door opens there is a delay and the script sets the door to closed again even if it's still open ?

[Jasper79]

Indeed, why,. Well because the cheap sensor does not send a message when it's closed, it only sends a message when it opens so for the system it stays open forever.

I will need to buy new sensors some time.

[Dave21w]

OK, thanks for the update, you should still have been able to reset the status in the switch itself instead of bothering with a script, simply set the off delay in the edit tab for the switch to say 20 seconds.

Dave

[Jasper79]

Thanks, I didn't find a way to set it in the switch.
These are old chuango 433mhz door sensors that just send a signal to the main unit as far as I know.

Setting it to 20 seconds does not make much of a difference I think because like this morning the front door is open for a few hours to try and cool down the house.

I'm willing to try any changes, I'm pretty new to this so I'm relying on the community.
