RFXCom blinds not responding immediately

Post by vj8989 »

Hi guys,

Since a few day I have a RFXtrx433 USB 433.92MHz Transceiver connected to my raspberry pi 3B with the latest version of Domoticz. I am really impressed by Domoticz especially as it was able just to scan for the remote control codes for my Brel Blinds and add them! Really nice.

So my blinds are added and working but no perfectly...
It seems that after some time (more then 15 minutes orso) when I try to control my blind it does not respond to the first press of the switch in Domoticz. I have to press the switch 2 times in Domoticz and then my blinds are responding again, even on first button press. When I go back after a half an hour orso to control my blinds again the same thing happens. The blinds are not responding on the first press of the switch.

I am just starting with Domoticz and maybe I am missing something somewhere related to data timouts or sleep timers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

--UPDATE--
I'va had email contact with RFXCom and support is great! :). The blinds I have installed are battery operated. So what happens is that the receiver on the blinds are going into "sleep" mode when no command is received for some time. The solution then would be to send the Open / Close or Stop command several times.

So you guys can already feel the question coming :). How do I trigger the command several times with Domoticz?
