Hi,

did you think about using a CC1101 transceiver module instead of a self modified hardware? Its the chip used in the Busware CUL (used to send somfy commands in fhem).

Regards

Hi,

I hadn't.

I don't see why you couldn't set it to the right frequency and send the frame with it, providing you can control the timing reasonably well (you can't just use ELECHOUSE_cc1101.SendData(frame,size)).

Cheers, Nick

Hi

So what do you mean by "I hacked a remote to send my signals"? Did you used a original Somfy remote and solder it to your Arduino board? Is your hacked remote able to send and receive?

Nickduino commented 7 years ago

Yes, I hard-wired the arduino to the remote. I don't think you can receive data with it but you should be able to get them with any cheap 433 MHz receiver.

So with one wire? I cant find any example on google how to connect this, can you add or send a picture or schema?

Nickduino commented 7 years ago

Two wires, you need ground and +3.3V (or +5V). I don't know your remote so I can't tell you where to solder them.

The easiest, by far, is to use a transmitter with the proper crystal.

I have a Somfy Telis 1 RTS remote, if you got the same one can you send me a picture?

Nickduino commented 7 years ago

I have a Simu HZ remote, they une a different layout and different microcontroller.

For a picture with a Somfy remote, have a look there: https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=208346.0
