Almost working: Pi3 Domoticz + RFXcom 433.92 +Somfy Oxim RTS = fun?

[RemcoSmit]

Hi,
I recently bought a RFXCom RFXtrx433E (433.92Mhz) Transceiver and connected it to my PI3 w/ Domesticz. I got all my switches, devices etc set up just fine. I can even do fun stuff with my smoke detectors, something that HomeWizard does not let me.

One thing that I would like to get working is controlling my Somfy outdoor rolling shutters (not sure how these things are called in English. In Dutch they are called a 'rolluik').

On the Net I read here and there that it should be possible but I haven't found a clear how-to that fits my set up. I tried to learn the codes from the existing remotes, but the tranceiver does not pick up any signal from both remotes (I have two shutters). Is that a sign that it will never work?

Is there someone out there that is willing to help me out?

Regards,
Remco.

The somfy remote is not received for security reasons and it would make the Somfy remote useless if the same code is used.

You can add the RFXtrx433E as an additional remote in the Somfy motor.
See http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=2567
and chapter 12 in the RFXtrx User Guide.

Thanks!
I feel I am getting closer now. I managed to program the RFXCom and secondary remotes for both shutters using a windows laptop.
Now, with the transceiver connected to the windows laptop, using the RFXmngr they go up,stop and down.

However, after I connected the transceiver back to the Pi again, rebooted the Pi, added a Dummy device and then manually added two switches of type Blinds, RFY using the same ID's a on the windows laptop nothing happens!
I do see the switches in the console but nothing responds to the signals sent.

Any suggestions?

Have you added the rfxtrx under hardware in Domoticz? If not do that. Then add your blinds again using the rfxtrx hardware, same place you selected RFY and ID.

Remember to push test when you have selected correct id and unit code. The blind will bump down/up.

Hope this helps.
