Two way communication?

Post by Plantje »

Hi,

I have an RFXCom and some KaKu stuff at home. One KaKu sender and receiver I already had before buying the RFXCom and the rest I bought after that.

If I switch a light using the switch Domoticz doesn't see that, that's normal since it is one way communication. However, if I use the switch of the light that I already had Domoticz does see it...Only if it's on or off though... How is that possible? Do I have the light switch added as well? Is that even possible?

What I did is learn every wall switch into domoticz. If you using remote to turn on off receivers then you have to learn them also in domoticz. When domoticz have the codes then it see when you turn off or on a lamp and will change the status of the switch in domoticz

I see, as expected: both the switch and the receiver communicate with Domoticz in that case. Thanks!
