Control Somfy awning with RFXCom
Posted: Thursday 16 June 2022 13:00
Hello,
Over the weekend I placed a sunscreen with a Somfy RTS motor.
I checked beforehand which motor choice is the most convenient with my existing RFXCom type Rfxtrx433E (E designation that indicates that you can also connect a Somfy RTS motor).
Now I have tried to control my screen from Domoticz.
Information from the internet I understand that the RFY protocol is used for this and that you have to learn the new code in the RTS engine.
Teaching the new code via my laptop directly connected to the RFXCom via a USB cable was successful.
I added an extra code with the "Program" command.
Then, in addition to my existing remote control, I can also control the screen with the laptop.
I then reconnected the RFXCom to Domoticz on a Raspberry PI.
There I added a switch with similar settings.
If I then want to operate the screen via Domoticz, I see the following error message in the logging:
subtype = Unknown RFY remote! Use the Program command to create a remote in the RFXtrx433Ext
Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong?
