Protocol for Mercury switches #161

Open JamesTM5 opened 7 years ago

JamesTM5 commented 7 years ago

Hi, we are trying to use the library with the Mercury range of mains switches and are unable to make it work. We have created our own protocol based on info from this blog post http://www.instructables.com/id/Mercury-RF-Remote-Socket-Control-From-Raspberry-Pi/ but cannot make it work and have reached the end of our knowledge. you can see my fork at https://github.com/JamesTM5/rc-switch I added a new protocol in rc-switch.cpp line 82 but please note that it currently doesn't work.

Has anyone got this working with the board, or have some reasons why what we are doing isn't going to work?

It looks like you've got a wrong protocol. Use my branch to listen to your signals and infer a protocol. https://github.com/sui77/rc-switch/issues/103 Those sockets look like they are manufactured by baihuang, and these are pretty standard (also manufactures for etekcity, etc.) so this should work out of the box. Best luck!
