LightwaveRF socket support

[kmccor]

I'm hoping you can help.

I've put together an RFLink device which I've tested extensively, it works with a Home Easy socket I have, 433mhz PIR & a window sensor so I know that side is OK. I've also got a USB Z Wave adaptor and one socket which works but the cost of the devices are prohibitive. To get me started I'm planning to buy a number of LightwaveRF devices, as they're cheap and easy to get hold of but I can't get the sockets I have working so I'm reluctant to expand. I bought a pack of 3 x JSJSLW320 sockets and a remote, the remote works with RFLink OK but the most I can do with the socket is get it to pair when I add it manually and select LightwaveRF, but none of the control commands work.

I can see in my log that it's sending the commands OK -
2016-03-20 22:38:47.165 User: Admin initiated a switch command
2016-03-20 22:38:47.165 RFLink Sending: 10;Lightwave;010002;1;ON

I can see some people have got lightwaveRF working with RFlink so any help will be appreciated, my next step will be to splash out on a RFXCOM adaptor but I'd rather get RFLink working.

Thanks

Sorry can't help on the RFLink, I use RFXtrx which works well.

Only comment was the sockets are great and at a great price point, but they are really only designed to take purely resistive loads (i.e. a light bulb). A highly inductive load like a vacuum cleaner or a drill will stop them working very quickly, either they stick on or turn off randomly and after 3 months my Mini Mac power supply has killed one. Not really a problem with the simple plug in sockets, why would you need to remote control a drill, but rather a pain when you have the in wall sockets.
