Hi!
Just noticed that there is a new FW for the RFX.
Downloaded the latest FW and see a lot of HEX files inside the zip archive.
Code: Select all
RFXtrx433_Ext_251.hex
RFXtrx433_Ext_1001.hex
and last one is:
RFXtrx433_Ext_1012.hex.
Which one sould I use?
Domoticz report that my FW is:
RFXCOM - RFXtrx433 USB 433.92MHz Transceiver
Version: 249
Is the 251.hex proper one or is it 1012.hex the one I should use?

Update firmware only if there is a need for.
Check the firmware history file which is in the firmware zip files or

So easy... Thanks!
As I can see, the 3 digit FW version is abandoned with FW release 433_1001 18-02-2016
And from 1001 and on its 4 digits. ..
Again, thanks.

I have one of these as well. What is the difference between an Ext and Ext2 model ? Mine is marked as a batch 1016 I think......

See chapter 2.2.2. in the RFXtrx User Guide for the list of supported protocols in each firmware type.

My question is however how do you know what hardware type you have..... i mean mine is three months old but it says nothing on it to make it clear.
