Chamberlain Garage door opener RFLink

Post by Willem81 »

Hi all!

I am working to get my garagedoor workin with RFlink.

When I press the remote, I see the following code in debugger:
*Mailed to Frank*
In Domoticz it was recognized the first time, but sends a "DIM" signal, and "BRIGHT" afterwards it just didn't work.

Is there any chance that this device can be added in the future? Or is there anything I can do to make it compatble by myself?

I also have a Chamberlain garage door opener. Mine is old, I think about 25 years old. When I started using Domoticz I thought I could add my garage door opener to my RFlink 433 Mhz Transciever. I didn't work. I did some reading and found out that Chamberlain uses encrypted code to transmit commands to the opener unit. They use some sort of rolling code encryption: every time the encryption code is different.

At least this is the case with my old door opener. Newer ones must also have some sort of protection I think it might not be possible to use the RfLink for Chamberlain systems.

What I did now: I soldered one of my Chamberlain remotes, put a GPIO-relay switch between it and use the Raspberry GPIO port to switch it. Works perfectly, but is a bit more work. But we use it several times a day, and it is worth the job.

One other thing to consider is that the Chamberlain works on 868 Mhz instead of 433. At least, mine does.
So no wonder it cannot be seen by the RFLink... ;)
