Your code runs great on an ESP8266

Hi Walter,

Just want to say thanks for sharing your code to receive Somfy RTS signals.

It took me 5 minutes to convert your PlatformIO code to Arduino. Compiled it for an ESP8266 WemosD1Mini and the code recognised the RF signal of my Somfy Telis4 RTS reliably. Whooo!

I have some other Arduino code for receiving and transmitting Somfy signal based on the Pushstack information, but no easy to use library for receiving. Now I have 1.

Thx, Gerard.

Hi Gerard,

Thanks for letting me know!

Currently the hardware is not providing enough range for me. I'm awaiting a new transceiver (http://www.hoperf.com/rf_transceiver/modules/RFM69HW.html) that will hopefully provide a better range because I can configure it to use the correct frequency. With the new hardware I will add functionality for controlling shutters with a schedule as well.

Good luck with your project,

Walter

Hello Walters,

Thanks for your response.

I read good things about the RFM69HW, but letting them do ASK/OOK is not simple.

I currently use a SYN480 based receiver combined with a SYN115 based transmitter, 433Mhz and cheap but at least with a crystal i.o. a coil for frequency setting. I luckily had no problems with range of the RF signal, needing to penetrate just 1 brick wall.

I have used a Raspberry+SYN115-transmitter for controlling my shutters on a schedule for over a year now. That worked great.

I have now added a turnkey "back-to'basics" solution using a Somfy Chronis RTS timer. It commands 1 Somfy shutter up/down on time or down@sunset. Recommended! For 6 shutters the Somfy Telis 6 has similar capabilities.

Nice talking to you.

Gerard.

works on D1 mini like a charm too ! Thx a lot ! (5 years later)

It worked so well that I wrote an adaptation of your code for ESPHome. https://github.com/rdorys/esphome-somfy-receiver

Thanks a lot for your work.
