I’ve been a hughe fan of your plugin and i admire the work you’ve already put in.
Since i have some rfxmeter I have made soms alterations in version 8 so I can read the rfxmeters.
I changed a function of elec to the codes of my rfxmeters.
I you or anyone is interested, just let me know and i’ll provide you with the files and soms explanation.
It’s very rudimentory or basic if you wish as I am trying to study and understand some lua programming.
I used the decodeelec function and changed the data code that is received.
You will see an If statement that checks my two device id’s 240 and 497 : that is because I still want to implement 2 variables :
offset : if there is already something on the meter
divider : to adjust the puls to the counter eg 1 puls = 0.001 kWh or 1 puls = 1 kWh
RFXCOM has developed luup files for the RFXtrx433 transceiver to operate a Raex wireless window blind motor.
The transceiver is connected to a Vera Lite device of course and has been successfully recognized in Vera Lite.
the motor requires a binding process to synch the controller to the motor.
I am unable establish through Vera screens the process of “binding” the controller to the motor.
I am able to bind through the RFXmngr though it refers to the process as “confirm”.
Can you instruct how to accomplish this through the Vera interface.
Attached are screen prints from Vera of its current configuration. (PDF Format)
Thanks in advance.
RFXCOM ? You mean I have developped luup files…
Or are you talking about things I am not aware ?

Why not binding with RFXlngr and then use with the Vera ?

I can confirm that I have not implemented in the plugin all the “special” commands for Raex, including the Confirm/Pair command.
Regarding Raex:
1 - you have to enable Hasta (old) / A-OK receiving
2 - you need to have a type 2 firmware
3 - if you have a remote associated to your motor, you don’t need to create manually the device, it should be created automatically when you push the OPEN button of your remote (for example)
4 - when pushing a button on the window covering Vera device, please check the Vera logs. You should see the message sent and you could compare it to the message sent through the RFXmngr application. You could check if no error is logged too.
[quote=“Pierre.bln, post:10, topic:174445”]Hi Lolodomo! Thanks & merci again for this plugin, and the support you are personally providing in the forums.
FYI: my RFXtrx device in Vera now shows “version alpha 11”
(was running v9 before).
The code in trunk branch is my working development version, not a finished and released version. I tagged it alpaha 11 to make a difference with the last released version and because when released it will become version alpha 11.
The version in the trunk can contain additional features but there can be reasons why it is not yet released.
A normal user should not use this code, except if he knows why he has to use it rather than the released version. It can be for example to test a new feature not yet released to give me a feedback.
Thanks to the alpha10 update, the lay-out for creating a device on my Vera3 is much better. I can now fill the required fields for creating EMW200 devices. Piece of cake. Lolodomo thx!
I’ve made some alterations to the RFXTRX aplha 10 plugin so it can decode RFXMeters.
It contains 4 files :
l_RFXtrw.lua : the lua file from Lolodomo with some added programming for the RFXmeter decoding.
2 device files and a service file called : D_RFXMeter1.xml, D_RFXMeter1.json and S_RFXMetering1.xml.
It has 2 variables :
Offset : number of pulsen allready on the rfxmeter
mult : mulitiplier eg 1000 pulsen = 1 KWH
Example : solar yield 2000 KWH. counter 100000 (100 pulses = 1 kwh) – mult =100 and offset = 1000
You can check the actual values with RFXmanager.
If there are people willing to test and give feedback.
@lolodomo : I’ve made a new function decodeRFXMeter. If you find it ok, you can merge it with your existing plugin.
Respect for all the work you have allready put in the RFXTRX plugin.
There is a panic buttun on the alarm partion tab from device RFX Remote X10.
But how can I use the pannic butten in a scene?
2— This two remotes I also use for switching on and off alarm scenes and all light on/off scenes.
I Have two triggers with both scenes for each remote.
But the problem is i have too use the same remote for switching off the alarm as I used for alarm on.
And the same for all light on and all light off. I have too use the same remote for swiching off the lights as for all light on.
how can i fix this?
3— I have 5 door sensors en two motion sensors
5pcs/lot 433Mhz Wireless Door Sensors for GSM Home Security Alarm System from ebay.
HOT SALE Wireless PIR Motion Sensor Detector For Home Security System 433mhz from ebay.
How can I make them recognisable bij RFXtrx receiver?
I have a TFA Nexus rainmeter 30.3148 [url=http://www.optical-systems.com/tfa-regensender-303148-p-18971.html?language=gb]http://www.optical-systems.com/tfa-regensender-303148-p-18971.html?language=gb[/url]. I never get any value in mm/hr. If I look at the rainmeter device urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:RainSensor:1 it only has a variable CurrentTRain. But there is no variable mm/hr. I would expected “CurrentTRain” and “CurrentRain” there. Is this because of my specific device does not support this? If this is hardware specific a usefull alternative for everybody would be to automate a counter, like a daily or hourly raincounter:
[code]daily procedure
daystartrain=currentrain
dayrain = 0
end

As a trigger for your scene, use the event “a scene is activated” with scene number 120.
As an action in your scene, you should find in the scene advanced tab an action named “RquestPanicMode”. In the State parameter, put either “Police” or “Fire” or “Medical”.

Not clear for me. You want to use the same remote button for different things, alarm management and light management ?

I don’t know if the TFA device supports the rain rate feature but what I know is that the RFXtrx433 does not deliver this information for the TFA device but only the total amount of rain.

Moin BRWBIGE and LOLODOMO, I’ve installed and it indeed counts pulses nicely, still has to figure out how to set the offset en multiplier. What I’m using is a pulsemeter for gas and one of those gadgets around the main electricity trunk in my metering cupboard. problem (as far as one can speak of a problem) is that the offset for electricity is difficult in sofar that I’ve got two meters, one for daytime normal tariff and one for nighttime reduced tariff. the clamp measures total current I would guess so i’ve to think about that one.
If there’s anything else you guys need to know I’ll be happy to give it a shot
