RFLink - USB Gateway - Introduction

[Backbone]

Hello Stuntteam,

OK, got the RF-link to work and all button presses from the two remotes are recorded and they are now nicely added in the Devices section.

Can I use a custom message to perform an action to switch ON/OFF with the socket?
Which code and where to place?
Am I on the rigth track?

If I make a .lua script for the switching which code do I have to use so the RF-link transmits them?
Will the

Code: Select all

-- script to check a temperature and swicth on/off a 433 switch
commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['CV aanvoer_Temperature']) then
temp = tonumber(devicechanged['CV aanvoer_Temperature'])

 if (temp >= 25.0) then
   commandArray['000FBE63,	0']='on'
   commandArray['CV aan/uit']='on'
   print ('vloerpomp aan')
 end

 if (temp <= 23.0 ) then
   commandArray['000FBE63,	0']='off'
   commandArray['CV aan/uit']='off'
   print ('vloerpomp uit')
 end
 
end
return commandArray

Your guidance would be appriciated as I could not google anywhere the info.

Hm.. isnt that what the event system is used for?
There you can use components / building blocks to create an event (gebeurtenis)
Like for example: if sensor "outside" is above 20 degrees turn switch airco on

Stuntteam,

If you are refering to Blocky inside DMZ this does not work for temps actions.
I already found out that blocky does not support this thermostat compare function todo an action so I have to revert back to scripts which is no problem as long as I know which code to implement and use.

You might want to check:

It seems it was initially not working in Blocky but that should have been fixed recently.

In Lua, I figure you need to change the "switch" as Domoticz knows it.
So if you have for example a KAKU switch added to Domoticz as "Heater 1".. then you would change the state of "Heater 1".
If you would send a command directly to rflink the state of "Heater 1" would probably not be updated.

To know how commands are send to rflink, simply change the state of one of your switches and check the logfile..
It will show the command that was send.

Hi. Just received my RFLink and it seems to work with my Raspberry PI and KaKu APA3-1500R wallplugs. Great job.

I have a Friedland Libra+ 868Mhz doorbell (http://www.friedland.eu/fileadmin/produ ... /d912s.pdf) If that could be added to the RFLink, it would be even better!

Stuntteam / Nodo, thanks for the good work!

[Ierlandfan]

Do I need an extra module (board/transceiver) for 443 AND 868 mhz devices? Or do I need 2 Rflink devices with 2 different transceivers?

Hi,

Which ports do I use on Mega and ESP8266 to connect them together.

Henk.

Supertrekker look at his website that he put on the first post of this forum!

Is it so hard to just type in the right thing in google? I found it in less than 20 seconds.

Controlling RFLink via an ESP8266 is still experimental..

[locogek]

Oh sorry you want to connect the ESP8266. Stupid read over it. As said that is experimental.

Connect your ESP8266 RX/TX to Arduino Mega RX0/TX0 (via level convertor)

@Stuntteam

If both RFXCom and RFLinkGateway would be connected to Domoticz@Raspberry, at which /dev/ttyUSBx must RFLinkGateway then be set (to avoid conflicts)?
Is Domoticz - under Hardware Dashboard- atuomatically offering that setting? Or is 'manual work' required?

It can work, but you have to make your TTY ports persistent. Google for TTYUSB persistent or https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/PersistentUSBDevices

Do you plan to support "lightwaveRF" please and when if yes?
I think that the gateway is more designed to support the Dutch products and personally I'll be postponing building it until there is a support for some of my existing devices (like lightwaveRF).

[Stuntteam]

If all goes well, next release should have support for lightwave rf..

[ThinkPad]

It is not as easy as you suppose (when is it implemented) i guess....
The developer needs people to test it, and submit him logfiles of new devices.

So if you are really interested, i would say; build one and see if you can provide the author with some logfiles of your devices.
Or send some of your devices to the author so he can implement them and send you the devices back.

Edit: I see you're lucky and support for lightwaveRF is already coming.

Super - thanks

Support for 2.4 GHz is also planned.



Roadmap:
- Add as many 433 Mhz devices as we can find
- Add support for 2.4 GHz communication
- Extend 868 Mhz support
- Get the RFlink Gateway supported by multiple platforms

Stuntteam

any progres with 2.4GHz?

That seems to be all ok. mine shows this after i power cycled mine (mine is on synology nas)

If i operate my watts clever remote I can see the green tx light flash on the mega every time i push a button.
It would appear your software side is running but not receiving . Maybe check the receiver section again
