Domoticz

Hi all,
quite new on this forum and a newbie with Domoticz too, but heave done a lot of reading and trying.

I want to control my Oase pump, and light controls of my garden pond.
I know the control-box (FM-master 3) uses some kind of X10 protocol, but it is a not the standard protocol somehow.

I contacted the supplier of my RFXtrx 433E and he supplied me the hex files needed to get the pump and lights ON/OFF.
In the dedicated software (RFXmngr) I can send commands linke dim an bright too.
If selected Lighting 1-X10, and select "dim" the pump really "dimms" (decreases its flow).

If I select the X10 protocol within Domoticz, I dont see the options "dim" or "bright" available. That is a pitty - It would save me a lot of money if I could

So my questions are:
- Does anyone know the dim+bright commands of the X10 protocol?
- Dim/bright is functional from within RFXmngr, but how do I get the same command from Domoticz send to my RFXtrx 433E?
- Does X10 have a command, that makes is possible to go to a certain amount of dim/bright? (e.g.: set dim at 50%)
- if not, is there an option for dimming within Domoticz, for a device at the dashboard with a simple "+" or "-" (for bright/dim)
- Is it possible to send these commands, if not available within Domoticz (some kind of script/command, but I'm not a script-kiddy)

Hope someone has got a clue for me

Hi, dimming in the x10 protocol is not supported...and as far as I know it will never be.

Regards, Hans

With rfxmngr it works!

Seems to be different types of X10 anyway.
This is a link that also shows it is possible: https://github.com/hollie/misterhouse/wiki/x10-dimming

Yep.. but not in Domoticz.. there are several posts about this issue on the forum..

Sorry to disappoint you..
Hans

Oke, thanks for the reply.

Sorry to hear it is not possible - and I have to look for other solutions.
At this stage Domoticz is not very usefull for me - other then switching KAKU on/off..... not really worth the (time+hardware)investment.

X10 partially supported, groups partially works, sub/slave partially works, sliders at the dashboard dont function, no run time calculations.
And as I understand there is no goal to improve further, unfortunatly.

So "disappointment" is more or less an understatement in my case.

Hello Frank,
I also have an oase filter and pump, without an fm master. What exactly do you use to control it? I used the X10 protocol in the early days and believe I have a tranceiver somwhere lying around. Could you specify your setup and did you manage to get it to work?
I have a loxone domotics system which I want to connect.
Thank you
Tim
