Aoke Tubular Motor control

I have a problem with a curtain that is lowered by an A-OK (Aoke) AM35/45 tubular motor which is controlled by a AC123-01 remote control (433.92). As Domoticz currently seems to support Aoke I thought this would be a one minute job but unfortunately when I set the tubular motor in programming mode it won't pick up the signal from the RFXtrx433e I'm using. I am using the following settings:

Lightning 5 (i've also tried Lightning 1 and 2)
Aoke
Blinds (i've also tried Venetian Blinds, Inverted Blinds, Percentage Blinds)

I can't seem to figure out why the tubular motor won't pick up the signal. I have found the following documentation regarding both the tubular motor as well as the remote:

Remote Control: http://allegro.bedegie.com/master/control%20systems.pdf (page 3 in the PDF, model AC123-01)
Tubular Motor: see attached picture I made of the manual.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction! Thanks!

The A-OK RF01 remote is emulated as BlindsT2
The A-OK remote AC114 is emulated as BlindsT3

The AC123 has not been tested, maybe BlindsT3 will operate. Use Type1 or Type2 firmware because the default ext firmware in the RFXtrx433E does only support Somfy blind motors. (see chapter 2.2.2 in the RFXtrx User Guide for supported protocols in each firmware)

Hi Bert,

You were right, the AC123 works with the AC114 T3 settings. Thanks a lot, works like a charm now!

Sorry to bump this old post.
I also have a AC123 remote and am trying to get it to work in Domoticz.

I have rfx E and tried all firmwares (t1, t2 and the latest).
I can nowhere find the blinds t3, so obviously I am missing something,

What do I need to enable in the RFXCOM hardware settings for this?

Never mind, not sure what I did, but the blinds are in now.

Hello, I am giving this a bump cause I am in the same issue. I can link the Rfxcom with the AC123 blinds via RFXmngr and can control it from there but in Domoticz. When I try to add a manual switch, Type blinds, I have no type option for T1 / T2 / T3 / T4. Note I do have the Rfxcom set to enable T1/t2/t3/t4

Just in case that someone else finds this post, trying to get an AC123 remote working and can't. I was able to make it work by following these steps.
I'm using the ext2 firmware on my rfxtrx. Rfxmngr should be able to show the events when you press the remote buttons.

1) Set the mode of the rfxtrx to enable T0 and T0-T4 (Setup, Hardware, Set Mode button)
2) Go to switches and use 'Learn light switch' instead of add manual
3) Press any button on the remote
Done

The only thing that isn't working for me is that as soon as I use the Stop button in Domoticz, the controls stop working until I have used my remote again.
