rfx-detector node #72

Closed apb2019 closed 5 years ago

apb2019 commented 5 years ago

I have some RF light switches (PCB says CreaJian-X21) which I would like to use. Though light switches, RFXmngr identifies the transmissions as being X10 Security1 packet types so I have used the rfx-detector node to feed into my flow. Unfortunately the detector node only picks up the first transmission (topic: "X10_DOOR/device id", payload: "Alarm") and ignores any further transmissions from the switch - is this correct? The following is the rfxmgr output

Packettype = Security1 subtype = X10 security Sequence nbr = 0 id1-3 = 52F300 decimal:5436160 status = Alarm battery level = OK Signal level = 7 -64dBm

Please can you clarify: do you get the status = Alarm message for both switch on and switch off operations? Are there separate on & off buttons, or just one button (that switches the light on & off alternately)?

I'm currently making changes to the rfx-detector-in node to fix issue #64, which may have already fixed this problem, if it's what I think it is from your description!

If I understand #64 correctly it’s a similar situation as there is no difference between successive messages sent by the switch (and no heartbeat). The switch has one button which always sends the same signal each time it’s activated. When the paired receiver receives the signal, it toggles the connected light to the opposite state ie from Off to On or vice versa. Consequently other than the time stamp, the output from rfxcom is always the same ie “status = alarm” for every message received. Hope that helps

In that case the next release should fix it: I will use the message details you posted to make a simulation for test purposes. Hopefully any day now, if I can find a spare couple of hours...

Tx, I look forward to it. Happy to test beforehand if it helps

Should be working now

apb2019 commented 5 years ago

Hi, update downloaded and working well. Tx for the quick fix
