Rflink not adding new devices in Domoticz

Hi All
I am having problems with my Domoticz/Rflink as it is not adding new devices to domoticz.
I have bought 433 remote controler but is not picked up by domoticz.
Rflink loader is picking up signal for all 3 buttons from remote as Keeloq so it should be fine as it is supported by rflink according to their website.
New devices are enabled in domoticz settings.
I tried everything already like swapping ports in rpi, fresh domoticz install, fresh rflink firmware. And still nothing.
Even if i try learning new switch nothing. Tx time out message pop up.
Please advise what I am doing wrong or what else can i do.
I have attached log from domo.

Well, that is strange indeed...

Could the RFlink be the source of your problems? You could test this by downloading the latest firmware. With that firmware zip package, you will find a Windows application. If you connect your RFlink with your computer and this apply, you are able to see the raw incoming data and verify the workings of the RFlink.

The Rflink loader is recognisig the remote as Keeloq.

Hmmm, you already verified it I just read (I should read better...).

The only thing I can think of is that you selected the wrong port in Domoticz. Besides that, I assume that everything else is stock and default?

Perhaps it's a bug with the latest version, been reading about some issues about that on the forum for the past few days.

So RFLink is bought from NODO shop with soldering option.
I had the same problem before updating Domo to latest version as well.
Everything stock and default as I am newbie :) I am using couple of sonoffs on tasmota but those work fine.
Port in domoticz is set for this long one with adruino in the name.

You could try to read the raw serialfeed in rasbian.
Use minicom for that (not sure if this is stock, you can install it with apt install minicom).


minicom -b 57600 -D /dev/ttyACM0 -8 -o

Above is an example, you can find the right port easily in Domoticz. Remove the hardware in Domoticz if necessary.

Well, with that, you can actually read the raw data from the RFlink on your pi. That way, you know that it's either a hardware/Operating system issue or something in Domoticz.

So if I press the remote I can see received signal. But i think due to language is set to Polish i see only small windows mixed with "f"
But signal is received by rpi

It's good practice to keep backend systems in English. That way, you have better community support.

But for now, it's hard for me to help you with that info. Could you perhaps send a screenshot or photo, perhaps we can make anything of it...

Well, first thing I notice in the screenshot is that your RFlink is still on firmware R40, latest version is R48.

Second, it is strange that first you get a clear ASCII responses followed by some gibberish.

Try to update your RFlink firmware to the latest version and see if that helps. Also, you could share this info on the RFlink forum, could be that the problem is not related to Domoticz...

The other results except the screenshot you posted seems to be fine.
