4-Relay board 433MHz, does it work with RFLink?

Post by woody4165 »

Hi

I would like to buy this 4-relay board and I'm curious if it's working with RFLink. It seems that needs to be programmed with a remote control, but I would like to control via RFLink and Domoticz.

Do you think it will work? And how?

Thanks

It is working but only toggles on/off so no definite status.

Hi jkimmel, it's ok for me with on, off.
But really I don't understand how to program it (the relay) and how to control via RFLink.
Do you ave any suggestion?

Thanks

The fact is that I don't have a remote
Is there a way to create/send an RF command and program the learn of the relay and reuse it in a switch?

Well, it's a learning relay board - in Domoticz, create manually a new switch for every relay. Then use the learning button on your board to assign each switch to relay.

See Domoticz manual page 27. You have to experiment with protocol type etc. Use the Test button to send command while the board is in learning mode.

Thanks!!!

I've got it work.
I chose Aoke type and as HW my RFLink.
I have a four relay board and I would like to use it to manage two blinds. On each couple of relay I should manage the Up and Down of each blind.
I tried so the On/Off, but it' switches only to On the relay, but the switch on the Domoticz panel remain in Off status.
Should I create one Push On button and one Push Off button to manage one relay? :?

You can but it's not very helpful because both are actually toggles, same signal to on and off. Domoticz does not know the status of the relay.
Actual wireless blind control boxes (+Domoticz) do this much more smartly, I think.

I've used this workaround that I found later and it seems to work... :D
