how to setup old rfxcom usb transmitter&reciever

[nawikre]

Hi there,

i want to make the step to completely dump my homeseer system and go for domoticz (on a raspberry), but i have an old rfxcom system. I have a rfxcom transmitter and a seperate rfxcom receiver unit...both on usb. But in domoticz i can only choose usb 433 tranceiver.
If i use my rfxcom transmitter on my raspberry pi usb port and select usb transceiver...it does nothing....i cannot set a mode, it does not read anything.

Does someone have these old units or can help me on how to connect this older system??

many thanks

Iwan

The old USB and RFXLAN are not compatible and will not be added.

That is realy crap......

Th en in have tot look for a cheap 433mhz tranciever that works Sith domotica land kaku, as in am gradually switching over tot zwavel...nut all my window screens are stille on kaku

It doesn't matter whether Domoticz supports some hardware or not, for as long as you can somehow support the device through a script. For example I have an old RFXCOM (USB version), and I integrated it into Domoticz this way:

• Added the 'dummy' hardware to Domoticz
• Created devices on the 'dummy' hardware to match my RFXCOM setup (door switches, PIR sensor etc, keyfobs)
• Set up xpl-hub and xpl-rfxcom-rx to receive the data from RFXCOM and publish the data as xPL messages (Domoticz does not understand xPL)
• Created a Perl script using xPL::Client and AnyEvent::MQTT, to convert the xPL messages to MQTT messages, to update the Domoticz devices

I actually also do a similar thing for all of my 1-wire devices. I got so much misread data from temperature sensors that I filter it first, and then send to Domoticz using MQTT.

@Toni,

would you like to share a code snippet for the conversion of XPL 2 MQTT messages?
If have a similar setup with an old RFXCom transmitter / receiver and a Gas-counting sensor that I would like to use in domoticz.

having recently inherited an old rfxlan device, is there any chance of still getting this working? I can't find any information on how to achieve this...where do i find xpl-hub and xpl-rfxcom-rx? i know how to get the perl things, but would like some example scripts or specifications to send commands., oh and a pointer on how to send these to the 10001 and 10002 ports of the rfxlan on the network. dinosaur tech, but it should still work...
