4 chanel relay

hello,
i ordered this RF 4 chanel relay without remote
It has one button for code learning, and jumper for changing modes (i use Latched mode)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DK-4TC- ... 0.0.GNeW9t
I want to use it for my irrigation system, i have allready conected (only with leds for test) and it works quite good..

problem is that when i learn code, both codes (on and off) are toggle so sometimes i have inverted states in domoticz switch panel and its not secure for irrigation

Anyone know how to setup to make off code, really off and not just toggle?

Ali is full of these kind of rellays and woud be great to full support in RFLink.

edit:
i used some default chuango codes manually added with create RFlink command. (on/off works but both commands are toggle)
Discovered that also Aoke type and as HW my RFLink works. (but it' switches only to On the relay, but the switch on the Domoticz panel remain in Off status.)


Thanks

If I understand your post correctly, there is 1 signal to turn on and off the device.
eg. send the signal once: the device turns on, send same signal again: the device turns off.
If that is the case then this is not a good device to use in a home automation system because there is no way to tell if the over the air command reached the device or not.

yes thats the problem, im still looking if i miss something or its device limitation...
aliexpress is full of this type relays, and its weird that they miss this important function

Any advice for tested 4 chanell RF relay (12v) thats is allready tested ?

But could be possible that im just using wrong codes, and this relay use another protocol (with fixed off state as onw command) ? but how to find right codes, any idea?

No, if you have a device that only uses 1 code for both on and off you should avoid using it.

Hello
Maybe someone has already found a solution for the codes ?
I have the same challenge to find the right codes.

When wanted to switch relays by domoticz, why not using a wemos d1 mini with espeasy on it? And a simple 4 relay board.

Espeasy can react by a html string.
Easy to program in de domoticz device. Works without problems
