EVO home RF client
Posted: Saturday 26 September 2020 13:15
did anyone try to connect an RF based controller to domoticz en directly interface with the EVO home components.
i see that zones far from my controller have communication issues and in some incidents do not turn on or off
that gives me 2 options
1) adding and external antenna to the controller (possible but not looking very nice)
2) using a 2nd RF gateway to broadcast commands
i found that the protocol used is RAMSES II

there is also a emulator for the controller in python

this works with an arduino and a 868 RF unit and seems to be driven from the home assistant forum

i ordered an RFLink 868 and hope to get the correct data structure out so i can decode the messages using the evohome_rf python tool
