How to configure cheap sensors with PT2262

The RFXtrx433 and RFXtrx433E transceivers are able to receive the PT2262.
The 3M3 oscillator resistor must be selected.

The PT2262 packets can be received in Lighting4 as a bit pattern but can also be received as an ARC On or Off packet if the PT2262 pins are configured as follows:
L=Low,
F=Floating (not connected),
H=High (not used)

Code: Select all

Bert, is there a way to influence 'update frequency' with the PT2262? That is: I want to hook this up to a wireless moisture sensor, but I hate changing batteries and readings are needed < 2 times a day...

Thx again for Rfxcom: love the product. And on a side note: I get a LOT of readings from someone in my neighborhood. And the moment I see a PT2262 device that isn;t mine, I know he will likely have an Rfxcom too. That means I'm less and less inclined to use 433Mhz for control devices, but still a great fan of using it for sensor applications. I don't mind other folks reading my sensors, but I hate for others to control my lighting, shutters etc.!

If the PIR or contact is triggered the PT2262 will transmit a few packets.
If the PT2262 is not triggered it will not send an RF packet.

The RFXtrx433(E) accepts a wider range of PT2262 and EV1527 pulse timing starting at firmware version 1001 released Feb 18,2016.

Bert,

I just updated my Domoticz and to my big suprise i have a new device, unknown to me
RFXcom433E 904014 0 Unknown Lighting 4 PT2262 On - 2016-08-15 23:15:08
As you might remember, i'm the one with the SEAV sunscreens, so i was hoping it might be one of them, but when i looked further i found a Byron SX Chime (the sunscreen) and the timestamp it's completely wrong between them
RFXcom433E 0055 6 Unknown Chime ByronSX On 7 2016-08-15 18:43:35

Is there any (easy way) to figure out who's and what device it is?
(i already stood in the garden clicking on the on/off button and listening in the hope i would hear someone curse his pants off, but no luck) *grin*

With Lighting4 and "Accept new Hardware Devices" enabled you have a high risk to receive many unknown devices because the PT2262 and compatibles don't have a check on valid packets.
For normal use it is advised to disable "Accept new Hardware Devices"

Ok, turning it off.
Thanks
