Re: Step by Step Instructions for Integrating RollerTrol bli

The problem is clear to me. I implemented a 'type 24' remote control but you have a 'type 25'
I implemented it as well and you can download a new version of the plug here:http://www.rjdekok.nl/downloads/rfxcom.indigoplugin.zip

if your log presents this:
RFXCOM Debug processing: 9 25 0 4 0 141 18 7 1 96 (09 19 00 04 00 8D 12 07 01 60)
RFXCOM Debug Blinds Remote with id1-3 14118 and unitcode 7 command 1 received
RFXCOM Error unknown device detected (id = 1411807, type = 25). Select a Blinds Remote from the list of devices

Then you have to add a device 'Blinds Remote' with address 1411807 (the id of the device)

After you added the device you should get this in the log:
RFXCOM Debug processing: 9 25 0 4 0 141 18 7 1 96 (09 19 00 04 00 8D 12 07 01 60)
RFXCOM Debug Blinds Remote with id1-3 14118 and unitcode 7 command 1 received
RFXCOM Debug Switch Command 1411807 in list, command=Close

Thank you Robert. This works and has allowed me to monitor my rollertrol remote control button presses and RFXTRX commands to clearly convey the state of my blinds. Thank you for looking into this!

Dear Robert,

Firstly let me thank you for this great plugin, I use it all the time to control my blind and curtain motors.

Previously in this thread, you posted a modified version of your plugin to help Dewster35. This version (v1.7.9) was modified to allow type 25 remote control to be recognised (available here http://www.rjdekok.nl/downloads/rfxcom.indigoplugin.zip).

I also would like to monitor my type 25 remote but it seems that I'm encountering the same problem as Dewster35 when using the last RFXCOM plugin version (2.1.16):

RFXCOM Debug processing: 9 25 6 1 79 67 218 209 2 127 (09 19 06 01 4F 43 DA D1 02 7F)
RFXCOM Debug Blinds Remote with id1-3 796918 and unitcode 209 command 2 received
RFXCOM Error unknown device detected (id = 79692009, type = 25). Select a Blinds Remote from the list of devices

If I use the old RFXCOM plugin version (v1.7.9) from your link in this thread, everything is working well: my type 25 remote control reports its status correctly:

RFXCOM Debug processing: 9 25 6 0 79 67 218 209 2 127 (09 19 06 00 4F 43 DA D1 02 7F)
RFXCOM Debug Blinds Remote with id1-3 796918 and unitcode 209 command 2 received
RFXCOM Debug Switch Command 79692009 in list, command=Stop

I've tried to check if there was something missing in the last plugin version Python code but unfortunately I'm not a Python guru and I didn't found anything.

Do you have any idea about what may be causing this problem?

Axel.

Re: Step by Step Instructions for Integrating RollerTrol bli

I appear to have hit the same problem....although for Motolux (A-OK-114) controls. It reports type 25.

...so I gather the current version of the plugin still doesn't capture the bug fix incorporated in the version above? I can't compare because the link is dead.

I'm seeking to capture button presses in order to prevent indigo being out of sync with blinds status. (Actually there's a few spare buttons on this blinds control...so maybe it could do a few other things too.

Looks like a long while since any updates to the plugin...

Have forked and updated RFXCOM Plugin, adding a new BlindsT1234 Device for essentially controlling all Blinds, including Dooya as requested.

Correctly reports Housecode/Unitcode and have added adjustable Blind Subtype (hopefully covering most blind options)
Correctly updates Indigo Status with Remote changes, and Turn On/Turn Off appropriately open/closes blind.

See the readme
https://github.com/Ghawken/rfxcom-plugin

Give it a try for those with Blinds/Blind issues


Some updates to Plugin by GlennNZ

2.2.1

Add new device type BlindsT1234 for all type=25 Blinds

(replacing A-OK AC114, Brel, and others, these others left alone so can update as wanted)

Adds Support for Dooya Blinds and Remotes

Correctly shows Housecode, unitcode and subtype for ALL these Blinds Remotes

Correctly updates On/Off state of device if command sent via Indigo, OR if Remote button pressed

Add subtype to device Def (should allow other blinds to be controlled)

Add last Command received to device State, lastupdated and type

Preferred Usage:
1. Install, setup Physical Blind, setup working Remote for Blind.
2. Update RFXCOM Plugin (this Plugin) to latest version on github
3. Turn on support for Blinds T1234 in Config
4. Turn on log unknown sensors as error in Plugin Config

5. Press Remote Button on your Blind Remote

Log Should show an Unknown Device Error Msg: (like below)

`RFXCOM Error unknown device detected (type = 25). Select a BlindsT1234 Device from the list of devices
RFXCOM Error HouseCode (hex)=293301 ,subtype (int)=6 ,unitCode (int)=145`


Image


Create a RFXCOM BlindsT1234 Device Adding these Details (demo image = not the same details!)

Image


Functions:
Turn On and Turn Off - will open close Blinds (and update Device State)

Remote will likewise turn on/turn off and the State will be updated in Indigo

Also will show last command/last time updated in device states:
