Hi guys

Messing with Domoticz and my new RFlink since this week and I love it.
I'm already able to control all of my Kakulights, Milights and my Somfy RTS blinds thanks to the available great guides.

I have a Chuango alarm system in my house and I won't succes in programming this remote.
It has 4 buttons:
- Activate (ARM)
- Activate home (ARM without PIR)
- Deactivate
- Panic
Image


These 4 buttons each have their own codes and I see them when scanning and I can add them as switches, HOWEVER...
My Chuango alarm only picks up the signal when I quickly click(spam) the switch 3 times in a row in Domoticz...

Any solution to make the RFlink transmit the signal a little bit longer?

Tnx in advance!

That a choice to do not allow to copy this remote and allowing to full controle your alarm main system with lighter and warner.

If I send the RF command 3x in a row, it works, however I can't seem to write a script that can send the command 3x when it's clicked...

I was thinking about

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if devicechanged['AlarmOff'] == 'Off' then
            commandArray['AlarmOff']='On'
            commandArray[1]={['AlarmOff']='On'}
            commandArray[2]={['AlarmOff']='On'}
            commandArray[3]={['AlarmOff']='On'}
end

return commandArray
But it doesn't work...

You can create a shell script which executes json calls to Domoticz with a short delay in between and add that to the on action of a button. It might however be blocking the event handling of Domoticz during execution

This did the trick!

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}

if devicechanged['AlarmOff'] == 'On' then
        commandArray["AlarmOff"]='Off REPEAT 2 INTERVAL 0.5'
end

return commandArray
where AlarmOff is a switch that's sending the remote's "Off" code.
