3 years ago The start-up handshake of the RFXCOM is not happening correctly. The node sends the handshake sequence starting at 10:57:57.613, but there is no reply: instead the RFX seems to disconnect (at 10:59:02.391). The node tries again to reconnect starting at 10:59:13.901 and this time it succeeds, so the message queue is started. But then at 10:59:32.931, the 'Copyright RFXCOM' message appears again, this time with a different message sequence number of 07. instead of 02 What happened to messages 03 to 06? They don't appear in the debug log. It's the RFX firmware that is generating these sequence numbers so it (presumably) sent the corresponding messages out, but they never reached Node-RED.
Furthermore, the copyright message is the reply to the 'start receiver' command (first sent at 10:59:14.529) and the firmware should only ever send it in reply to such a command.
So it looks like something in the USB Docker stack is going wrong - disconnecting oddly, missing and/or repeating messages, or something like that.
But there also seems to be another problem, where the node-red-contrib-rfxcom node is getting confused by an unsolicited 'copyright' message. Understandable, but I will see if I can make it more robust.

Hello
I'm using nodered under last image of Nodered Docker, in Synology. I created the container with the following command :
docker run -it --net=host -v /volume1/docker/nodered2/data:/data -v /volume1/docker/nodered2:/syno -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro -v /etc/TZ:/etc/timezone:ro -d --restart always --privileged=true -e DSM_HOSTNAME=synology -e TZ=Europe/Paris --device /dev/ttyUSB0 -name nodered nodered/node-redI used the parameter --device /dev/ttyUSB0 as indicated in the docker page of nodered, in order tobe able to access to the port.
I'm using last version of node-red-contrib-rfxcom (2.11.2, I upgraded the rfxcom to last fimrware (1025). Here is what i have :
I add a rfx-lights node, serial port / dev/ttyUSB0, with option "listen for commands sent to any address", I connect it to a debug node with complete msg object. I deploy. The node has this message under it : "OK (v1025 ext 2)". I push a button on a command, I can see the little yellow led light on then light off on the rfxcom, but nothing happens in nodered. When I push the same button when the rfxcom is plugged to my computer running windows, I see the message coming in rfxmgr.
Here is a grep rfxcom of the nodered logs :
Can you help me ?
Regards
