Vera codes with RFXTRX433 for roller shade

Community Playground Getting Started & Initial Setup

Hi-
New to the group, but read so many messages I feel I know some of you…

Trying to connect a Rollertrol motor to the Vera Edge system (USB attached RFXTRX433E) without the Rollertrol remote. I can activate the motor via RFXmngr (‘Blinds1’ tab)and assign it any ID (2 parts - 2 digits each) and unit # to control it up/down and limits. My RFXTRX433 was flashed Type2 firmware v195 and appears on Vera, via beta 3.

When I select ‘devices’ on Vera, choose the RFX unit, then ‘new devices’, I select ‘Rollertrol’ pulldown, I combine the 2 ID parts above into a single 4 digit # for ‘ID’, add the same unit # as above, select ‘create’, and see the new device on the screen. But the motor does not work when I select any of the new screen controls (up/down etc.). What am I missing?
And thanks for the help!

I figured it out. Sloppy me. The TRXmngr program assigns ID’s in HEX, while the Vera program accepts ID in decimal. Example: Assigning a motor Id: ‘FF’ ‘FF’ as the two ID’s (each 2 digit, in HEX) equates to 65535 in Decimal as part of ‘new devices’ in Vera for this Rollertrol shade. Now the motor works - no need for a remote control. Also note the HEX assignments begin at ‘00’ and ‘00’, while the Decimal range in Vera begins at 1 (range to 65535, single number). So careful with not being 1 unit off.

The remote would have worked as well (so long as T0 blind protocol enabled via Type 2 firmware), and this works also.
