Nexa breakers and LaCrosse 2300 weather sensors #20

Closed mortlind closed 9 years ago

mortlind commented 9 years ago

I have bought an RFXCom USB transceiver, and I would really like to control some Nexa wall socket breakers, which I have not bought yet, and read off my LaCrosse 2300 weather station sensors (I believe the model is WS2312). Is this at all possible?

Which model of the Nexa breakers should I buy? In local hardware stores I find a cheap 3-pack of NEYCR-1500. Are they controllable with the USB transceiver?

Where do I find some information, guidance, tutorials, and such, for reading up on how to implement, enable, debug, etc., the protocols from currently unsupported devices? I only have Linux PCs (Debian) available, but maybe I can borrow a Windows PC if necessary for debugging.

No idea, I'm not familiar with any of these hardware devices.

You would need to contact the RFXCom developers and request the SDK documentation I suspect. You may also need to speak to the hardware providers and see what they can give you. I based what I've done on a combination of that and also looking at other open source libraries on GitHub. This one supports far more devices and can be ported to Python fairly easily. https://github.com/bigkevmcd/node-rfxcom

Windows shouldn't be needed, I've certainly not used Windows for anything.

It is probably also worth noting that I'm not active on this, I've been drawn away by other things which is why it hasn't moved since June.
