Hi,
my 6 month old RFXtrx433E died before 2 days. It died not full but almost. It only can send but cant receive anything. Not under Windows with rfxmngr, not with domoticz. It seams they have no long life
I used it with d. I have ardware version = 1.3 and batch 0116.
Is it realy dead - can I reset it etc.?
best regards
michael

It happens very seldom that an RFXCOM device has an error and you have at least 5 years warranty.
If you find a problem with the RFXtrx433E contact support rfxcom.com !
In most cases it is a sensor that transmit an RF noise signal due to an almost empty battery, a sensor filled with water or a button pressed on a remote.
This will block the receiver.
Please check the RFXtrx433E on another location (> 500m away from the current location) and check with RFXmngr if you can receive a remote or good working sensor.

As wijenberg says..
Investigate if you have a faulty 433 mhz device. Low battery etc.
I had a doorsensor which was spamming the air. Which was strange because I didn't saw it in the logscreen of rfxmanager.
Removed the battery and RFXCom was working again.

Thank you - may be I am an idiot. I played with the windows Software and activate protocols and now the TFA-Temp sensores are received. BUT I swear before 3 days at ~ 7:30 all TFA Temperature Sensors stopped working without my interaction (i was at work) and others cant login. 2 days before they stopped - but after the debian update - they are working (I do an apt-get update, apt-get upgrade). Until now its working. Thank you
Update
After all ist working - one TFA sender was offline - i reset it, delete it, and add them. May be this senders runs crazy.
