add Somfy screen to Domoticz: UP/DOWN vs ON/OFF

I have attached the RFlink (version R43) to the PC and with RFLinkloader I have added my Somfy sunscreens to RFlink, according to the description of Supermat on https://matdomotique.wordpress.com/2016 ... -et-somfy/

when using RFloader with RFlink connected to the PC and send:

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;0;DOWN; 
or

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;0;STOP; 
or

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;0;UP; 
it works fine

Then I connect the RFlink to the Raspberry.
In Domoticz I have added a switch as "Venetian Blinds EU" (as indicated in above description), but it doesn't work.
In the log of domotics I see the following when I push
the "close" symbol:

Code: Select all

RFLink Sending: 10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;ON 
the "stop" symbol:

Code: Select all

RFLink Sending: 10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;STOP 
the "open" symbol:

Code: Select all

RFLink Sending: 10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;OFF 
probably because of it is sending ON of OFF instead of UP or DOWN it doesn't work?

any advice on how to proceed is welcome.

I've connected the RFlink back to the PC and with RFLoader I checked and found out that

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;0;ON; 
and

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;0;OFF; 
also works, so probably there is something else.
Any good advice?

Clearly not the same command. Looks like your setup in Domoticz is incorrect.. and thus it does not work

Thank you Stuntteam for your reaction.

I have tried in RFLinkLoader (while connected connected to the PC) the following commands:

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;DOWN;
10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;ON;
both resulting in the screen going down

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;UP;
10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;OFF;
both resulting in the screen going up

Code: Select all

10;RTS;0F0F0F;1;STOP;
resulting it to stop.

That matches with the French tutorial that the "Unit Code" is not important.

putting the RFLink back to the raspberry (And then a reboot the raspberry from within Domoticz)
magically it works! (maybe the reboot did the job?)
anyway it works and thus problem solved!
