ELRO HE877 Switch with HE844 Remote / can't get it run!

---

I got some new HE877 switches (self learning, w/o DIP-settings) whitch work with original HE844 remote.
Try to switch them by pimatic does not work.

I already used different settings / other channel button and protocols from the debug view, but still no success.
Here my last config (used for switch also working with button no. 3 on/off)

      }
    }
  ]
},

Press Button 3 - ON

@DDNRN

This is strange, with the ON button you don’t receive a switch 2?

Normally elro should also work with KAKU device codes. Did you try switch1?

{
  "id": "laterne3a-switch",
  "name": "Laterne 3a",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch1",
      "options": {
       "id": 459458,
       "unit": 0
      }
    }
  ]
},

@sweebee is right. With this id and unit it should work

{
  "id": "laterne3a-switch",
  "name": "Laterne 3a",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch1",
      "options": {
       "id": 200960,
       "unit": 3
      }
    }
  ]
},

@Icesory
I’m sorry boys but it is not working, even not with the above copy of you config entry.
Also tried everything else from the debug messages, but still no succcess.

Where is my fault?

• homeduino is running with several other sensors
• updated homeduino sketch today and upload it to have latest version
• using other switches witch same RF hardware (elro Ab440s) w/o any probs.
• can switch the HE877 with manual remote while getting the above signals from pimatic-homeduino debug window at same time.
• switch is located only 2m from transmitter / same like the manual remote
• tested another switch set with same channel and also with other channel from remote

Here again my last homeduino-received codes from the remote while it is switching the plug-switch.

Are you able to send Raw codes to your switches?

On

You must change “PIN” to the number of the transmitter pin. Normally it is 4.
Follow these steps.

• Stop Pimatic.
• Use Echo to write the above lines to the Arduino
• check if the plug is reacting

There is a issue open on github
https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/issues/32
It should work with protocol switch2 or switch3.

Hi,

switch1 should work for you but you have to do pairing with homedruino rf codes. Transmitted codes are probably not the same, but compatible to learn home easy switches. Start learning mode on home easy socket and turn on button in pimatic

I’m also using HE844 remote and the HE864 wall socket… The following works:

• Press buttons on remote: switch ON/OFF is ok
• Press buttons in pimatic: switch ON/OFF is ok

When using the remote, the update in pimatic is as following:

• Short press (< 1sec): nothing happens
• Long press ( > 2 sec): status is updated

The debug info confirms this. A short OFF press:

Any ideas on this?

Your remote sends two different protocols.
The short press protocol isn’t implemented at the moment.

@DDNRN
I had the same issue with the Elro HE832R. After switching to learn mode and pressing the pimatic ON Button (switch2), the original remote and pimatic are working fine.
Maybe it helps?
-switch to learn mode and press the Pimatic ON Button with your first config.

@ Icesory, are there plans to implement this in the future? Can’t find anything within the development section, only: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/288/homedruino-possibility-to-catch-rf-raw-code-and-send-it-without-protocol/5

@ DDNRN, switching ON and OFF with pimatic and remote control is working fine. But the pimatic button is not updated when the remote control is used (short press).
