Domoticz

I'm having trouble with the setup of the KlikAanKlikUit doorbell ACDB-6500BC.

I have followed the instructions to pair the doorbell and this works as described.
After that I add the doorbell in Domoticz (using manual light/switch option) and it is recognized and the doorbell works when pushing the icon.

But when I push the doorbell button of my front door, the doorbell rings but I don't receive a notification in Domoticz.

What can I do to solve this problem?

Does the bell ring when pressing the switch in domoticz?

I did add the doorbell with automatic learn instead of manual. Just click automatic learn and the press the doorbell at the front door. It should come up in domoticz then.

Yes, the bell does ring when pressing the switch in Domoticz.
I will try adding the doorbell automatically. Did you change anything else (changing the house code maybe)?

No nothing. It just worked. And maybe it can be a setting in domoticz. On the setting page you can set a doorbell as group on and as on. Mine only gives an notification when it is set as on.

I can't get it working properly in Domoticz.I followed your instructions above by adding the doorbell automatically but Domoticz keeps saying 'Time Out, please try again'.

When adding manually the bell does ring by pressing the button in Domoticz, but no success with automatic.

dit you use a relay? becose the contact on the kaku is a potential contact.. (hope i type it right in English )

Did you activate the AC protocol on the RFXtrx? Cus without, it can't be received but it can transmit the protocol.

I don't really understand what you mean? Please explain.

Yes, AC protocol is checked. These are my settings in Domoticz:

And also the option: "Accept new Hardware Devices" enabled?
I'm using exactly the same doorbell without any problems.
Did you check the doorbell settings?

Accept new hardware devices was not enabled (yet). I will try to test this when I'm at home.
What do you mean by checking the doorbell settings? It is set to 'On' instead of 'Group On' in Domoticz. Or do you mean something else?

Still no success with adding the doorbell.


To be sure I won't miss any installation steps I resetted the doorbell again. After that I paired the doorbell with the front door button (which is connected to the receiver according to the manual in the first post). The doorbell perfectly operate without Domoticz.

After that I checked the settings in Domoticz (Accept New Hardware Devices, Doorbell Command is ON (no Group On).

Then I selected Automatic Learn and push the front door button.

Unfortunately no success in Domoticz (No new device added and notifications)



Any help (with screenshots) is appreciated.

I will try it again with my 2nd RPi. Will let you know.

thnx, looking forward to read your installation steps.

Here is what I just did.

My doorbell was already connected with the KAKU transmitter.

1) I enabled the AC protocol on my RFXtrx.
2) Checked "Accept new Hardware Devices"
3) Pressed the Doorbell
4) Went to Devices Tab and then Not Used and there it was, my doorbell with ID 08E5EFE
5) Pressed the green arrow, gave it a name and selected Doorbell as device.

Everything works now, Doorbell setting is at "On" instead of "Group On"

Hope you get it to work now, if not.
Let me know.

EDIT: I just see that you enabled the Hideki protocol on the RFXtrx.
According to the manual of the RFXtrx the Hideki interfere with the AC protocol
See: http://www.rfxcom.com/Documents/RFXtrx% ... 0Guide.pdf chapter 2.4
That could be the problem.

My problem is still not resolved
I did exactly as described above.
RFXCOM Firmware version is 71, Domoticz v1.147



My settings:

Mmmm, could you try it with the Hideki protocol switched off?

Did you tried it with the RFXtrx connected to a windows pc with rfxmanger?

You can see if its received by the RFXtrx
