PT2262 switches
Posted: Sunday 16 December 2018 11:38
I have a bunch of these, which I can register with Dom using the supplied remote and a RFXCOM transceiver, but (as others have noted) on/off are actually sent to the relays as two separate channel/ID 'on' commands. Has anyone got an elegant solution (plugin or otherwise) for making a Dom 'switch' device which calls the appropriate on / off sender (each of which will send an 'on' to the appropriate device address for on, or off).
Yes, I can set up a virtual switch and write some LUA or whatever to handle it, but that's not elegant, especially if you have a lot of switches (I did find the '$name' trick to hide the actual sending switches from the dashboard, which helps a bit).
I know these are old technology, but actually they are a lot cheaper (1/4 of the cost), and seemingly more reliable / longer range, than z-wave equivalents (I have a couple of those too).
