New to Indigo and rfxcom

Hi,
I just purchased a RFXcom device, and have downloaded a test version of Indigo.
The plan, if I get this to work, is to by the pro version of Indigo.

I have connected the rfxcom device and enabled the rfxcom plugin.
I am able to see incoming signals in the event log, but I am not able to transmit.

When I try to operate a dimmer I get this error:

RFXCOM Error send "Lys kontor" off failed
RFXCOM Error send "Lys kontor" on failed
"Lys kontor" is office light in Norwegian.

I have searched the forum for similar cases, but without any good results.

Hope someone can help.

regards
Håvard

Have you checked the RFXCOM transceiver type?

For transmit you need an RFXtrx433 transceiver.
The RFXrec433 is a receiver only.

Yes I have a reciver and transmitter.
I have had some progress. It turns out that there was a problem with the transmitt "code".
I am stil working on it...

Hi Håvard

Can you tell me what brand of dimmer you use, which model you selected in the settings of the device and which address you selected?

Hi

I use Nexa dimmers and switches. And AC dimmer and switches in Indigo.
The event logg returned a 4 number code. I was not able to get Indigo to transmitt the same code.
But when I changed it to a 8 number housecode (FFFFFFFF) I got it to work.
So now it is happy days, and it is working good.

I am starting to play with triggers and lighting scenes
