Replacing RFXcom 433e with XL and will Somfy RTS still work Topic is solved

[JaapB]

I've been having the RFXcom 433E for abouth 9 years now and since abouth a few months a spare RFXcom 433XL.

Now that I have purchased en TFA rainmeter that should work with RFXcom I found out it is nog supported in the 433E fimware but it is supported in de 433XL firmware.

But recent testing on a lone RPI with domoticz importing a backup from the live one learne me that all of the temperature sensors did work but somehow I could nog control the RTS blinds.
And according to the firmware on the XL it should work fine with Somfy RTS.

So I''m wondering if there is information stored in the RFXcom device to make it work with domoticz, information that is not included in the backup.

Maybe someone has tried this at home and is able to shed some light on how te make this work?

I got a quick reply from the manufacturer of de RFXcom with the recomandation to follow instructions in chapter 10.1 on trnasfering the Somfy ID unitnumbers. Followed it to the letter and it looked OK but sadly when reading the values in the 433XL all parameters were off by one digit so it did nog work. Tried it tw times, same result.

In the end I just had to program 13 new controlbuttons with the RTS and then replace the old ones. ANd yes that did the trick.
