Cheap door sensor not working

Post by rizzah »

Hi,

I bought a couple door sensors who should work on 433Mhz. (http://www.lightinthebox.com/nl/gs-iwds ... 66217.html) But they dont seem to pop up in Domoticz, so i tried looking with the rfxmngr and notice these messages:

2/13/2017 8:20:18 PM
Packettype = UNDECODED RF Message
UNDECODED ARC:276ACC1C072B

Im not very known in this field, but is there anything i can do to get these door sensors to work?

I use RFLink GATEWAY (version R46). The device is seen (Type: Light/Switch, EV1527, Door Contact).

I have this sensor. Rflink detects it. Only problem is - it is always ON or OPEN. In the device list I have 3 entries with different IDs.
Raspberry Pi B+, 4x DS18B20, RFLink Gateway, UPS APC Back-UPS CS 650VA,

@tOmki
I accidentally found a small trick.
1. I memorized "close" signal (Learn Light / Switch) and I called the device "Door X". This device is permanently On or Open.
2. I memorized "open" signal (Learn Light / Switch) and I called the device "Door". This device is permanently Off or Closed.
3. I edited "Door X" and added the Sub/Slave Devices: Door ... and Save

Now device "Door" can show state.
