Brel & Dooya bi-directional motor supported

Post by b_weijenberg »

Domoticz Beta version 2023.2 (July 21 2023) supports Brel and Dooya (and other compatibles) bi-directional motors using the Blinds - Brel DDxxxx.
This needs the RFXusb-RFX433, RFX433XL-USB, RFX433XL-Wifi or RFX433XL-LAN version and at least firmware version 2024.

Big advantage of these DDxxxx motors is that they have the percentage open command.

Note: This is not supported by the RFXtrx433, RFXtrx433E and RFXtrx433XL. These types do not support FSK modulation which is necessary for the DDxxxx protocol.

My Domoticz has Beta version (Build 15724) to which the RFX433XL-USB is connected. I want to use this to control screens with a Brel motor type BREL BR35-13. With RFXmngr I was able to pair and control the Brel motors with the RFX433XL-USB. However, this does not work with Domoticz. Am I doing something wrong?

How is the device configured in Domoticz?

As BREL DDxxxx?
Using the same ID and unit code as in RFXmngr?

You need the BREL DDxxxx device in Domoticz for the bi-directional Brel!

I don't have a setting in Domoticz for DD****.

I have a similar problem as above.
I have paired my Brel bidirectional blinds via RFXmngr, so I can sends commands from there, but if I want to add a manual switch to Domoticz, I see various types/brands of blinds, but I do not see the Brel DDxxx type.

BTW, I am running Domoticz 2023.2 (build 15457). Is that the reason?

Update: I upgraded to the new domoticz 2024.1 version and now I have the DDxxx type as an option, so problem solved.
