Help porting protocol from pilight #46

Closed kirichkov closed 9 years ago

kirichkov commented 9 years ago

I've written a protocol for pilight for the RSL366 switches (apparently also sold as PROmax) in pilight - link to pilight wiki.

I'm trying to port the protocol to pimatic, however, I'm unable to get it to work.

Some background on my setup: I use the cheap RF sender (no receiver as I don't have my switches' remote) connected directly to the Pi's GPIO pin. (WiringPi: 0) I am able to use pilight v6.0 to switch the devices on and off without any issue. I used the "arctech_switch_old" protocol with pilight before my protocol was added to the master and tried to simply port the unit/id configuration - that didn't work and after some googling I found that these are not always the same in pimatic - https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/issues/380.

I've gotten to the point to give the commands directly to the vhduino, but I'm having trouble figuring out what the "buckets" are.

I've gotten to the point to construct the following string and feed it to vhduino: RF send 0 5 390 1170 13260 0 0 0 0 0 01100110011001010110011001010110011001100110010102

This should be switching unit 4-3 on.

I'm also uncertain on what the five zeroes between 13260 and the beginning of the pulses are supposed to do and whether these are correct values for the switches.

When you read the readme from rfcontroljs then it should clear all questions for you. https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs

I definitely skipped that first part! Thanks!

In the meantime I figured out why my switches were not working - I missed the "translation table", so I think it's better to create another translation table for the device, instead of adding yet another protocol that resembles a lot the one in switch4. After all the Unit/IDs in pimatic have different meaning than the dials.

Hi @kirichkov,

do you still have protocol?
