Doesn't work with some new KaKu receivers #2

Closed Monkeystation closed 8 years ago

Monkeystation commented 8 years ago

It appears it doesn't work with the ALED-2709. This is a kaku led-lamp. The lamp also does not pair with the old YCT-102 remote, but does pair with a newer wall switch. The plug-in works perfectly with all my other old and newer receivers, so it seems the ALED is using some new kind of protocol / handshake.

robertklep commented 8 years ago

I only have (really) old receivers, but I know that the protocols have changed considerably. However, because I don't have recent receivers I won't be able to test against those, so for now, this plugin will only support older receivers (I'll update the README to reflect that).

Okay, I ordered a few items, including the ALED-2009 (which, I assume, will be talking the same protocol as the 2709). With a bit of luck, I'll be able to implement the protocol.

Hi Robert, spend all weekend playing around with the code and got it all working! I've also uploaded my code here in Git and on NPM. Used basically your files as a starting point (this is all new for me, so thanks!). You can find it here: https://github.com/Monkeystation/homebridge-remote-transmitter

Nice! Once I get my new gear (hopefully tomorrow) I plan on extending my plugin to allow both old and new-style devices, and also add brightness control. I might borrow your NewRemoteTransmitter.js if you're okay with that :D

Monkeystation commented 8 years ago

That would be a perfect solution! Surely you can use the NewRemoteTransmitter.js, I couldn't have done it without your code.

Just pushed homebridge-klikaanklikuit@1.0.0 (new name, minus the hyphen, so new versioning; the old package has been marked deprecated) that supports new-style receivers and dimming (fixes #3 as well).
