Please add support for new feature in Firmware 1028

[jag100UK]

I've been in contact with Birt from RFXCom and he's released a firmware update to support the "Unit" for Blinds 1 T11 ASP.

My device is a RFXtrx433 Type 1, but he's release the update for RFXtrx433E too.

Previously the RFXCom treated communication with the blind on unit ID 1 as "ALL", so if you have multiple blinds operated by the same remote, you could only control the blind on Unit ID 1.

RXFXCom now correctly interprets and transmits the Unit ID, so I can address each blind individually using RFXmgr.

It would be great if we can add support for this in node-red..

Currently, the payload doesn't include any Unit information in the address.. For example:

BLINDS_T11/0xA169A4 : msg.payload : string[4]
"Open"

Perhaps the address could be extended to include the unit? For example For all Units:- BLINDS_T11/0xA169A400

For Unit ID 1 BLINDS_T11/0xA169A401

I can supply more outputs from RFXmgr if it helps coding

Many thanks

John

I've been very busy, but I am looking at this now, along with some other issues. But don't hold your breath!

[jag100UK]

No problem, Max.

I’d be happy to help with any testing, if you need a volunteer.

Thanks

John

I have just published version 2.12.0 which adds support for the unit number to BLINDS_T11, among other things. Please chek it out: if it works for you I will close the issue

[jag100UK]

Thanks Max

This feels like a dumb question, but what difference am I expecting to see?

In the Pallet I have verified I have node-red-contrib-rfxcom version 2.12.0.

When I debug the value from rfx-blinds-in, it looks the same as before. There's no unit in the address or payload

Example:- BLINDS_T11/0xA169A4 : msg.payload : string[4] "Open"

On the rfx-blinds-out node, I don't see any way to specify the Unit.

Regards

John

You should add the unit number after the first part of the address, separated with a /

BLINDS_T11/0xA169A4/1

That should work for sending commands. I thought it was working for receive as well when I tested it, but it looks like it still isn't. Please can you send me the byte sequence you get when you send a command from the remote and receive it on the RFXtrx? Either use RFXmgr, or enable debug output on the RFXCOM device and copy the output from the Node-RED console. I had to 'invent' a byte sequence based on the documentation to test receive operation, and it looks like I may have got it wrong :(

[jag100UK]

That's great, "Blinds out" works.

Here's what I receive using RFXmgr.

I notice that RFXmgr is displaying the Unit Number 1 value higher than the remote, but I think this is just a display bug.

The messages below are sent from a Louvolite R1922-6CH

Thank you, Max this is working well now.

I really appreciate you taking the time to add support for this feature.
