Are Domoticz Devices transmitters or receivers (Newbie question)
Posted: Sunday 19 March 2017 16:39
I am new on this, so please bear with me.
I have a number of Nexa transmitters ("wall switches") and receivers (dimmers and on/off pods). I have installed Domoticz on a RasPi3 with an RFX433.
I have a probably very basic question: What am I controlling from Domoticz - the transmitters or the receivers? Or am I controlling receivers by mimicking the transmitters? I have some wall transmitters that control several receivers (lamps). They show up as separate Devices in Domoticz.
I have difficulties seeing the logic of this. The physical implementation is a function of numerous compromises, which I do not necessarily want to mimic in Domoticz, but I am sure this is taken into account by the designers, I just need some guidance.
Is it possible to identify individual transmitters and individual receivers (dimmer or on/off pods)?
What I would ideally want to do is program things like:
"When the ON is activated on the bedroom wall switch, only switch on the bedroom light. When OFF is activated on same switch, turn off also wardrobe light"
I would be very grateful in anyone could point me in the right direction, as I have not been able to sort this out with the documentation I have found so far.
