RFXcom868xl is able to communicate with Orcon (MVS-15H) in the windows test program.

Please activate this functionality in Domoticz.

I see references of Orcon in the source code (for Fans). I am no RF user so no idea how to select it in Domoticz.

Do you see the Orcon Protocol when selecting Set Mode on your RFXCOM hardware gateway (menu Setup - Hardware)?

Hi, thanks for reply.

No the protocol selection functionality has been removed from domoticz. Also I don't see the required protocol as an option.

In the rfxmngr the orcon protocol is activated.

Yes it seems this is the new way to not select it within Domoticz anymore. See also https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/is ... 1518644890

So what is the issue? When you have set Orcon in RFXManager your receiver can work with that and should communicate with Domoticz.

The issue is that domoticz does not seem to work with the orcon protocol. It does not see any incomming devices. Devices which are seen in the rfxmngr tool.

I cannot find any other options to search or set any rfxcom868 device related settings in domoticz.

Perhaps ask rfxcom directly how to do that.

Also tried with RFXtrx. Received "Invalid data received!....".
But even after I changed the source code and commented out check for type pTypeFan, Domoticz detected new buttons per every Orcon button (if you press it). But they were not functional at all. While looking into Domoticz source code for Orcon support, it looks like the imlementation is not finished.
