Re: rflink - espeasy

Re: milight disco mode in domoticz

In case anyone else stumbles across this post trying to solve this issue, I worked around it by creating a dummy selector switch which sent JSON commands to the actual switch/device Domoticz. This post is where I found the info: http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17120 e.g.: http://127.0....

milight disco mode in domoticz

So... I can enter commands directly to rflink to turn on disco mode etc (so I know rflink can do it) but can't work out how to get domoticz to provide me a button to give the same command. I can only change colours and switch on and off.
Any help greatly appreciated

Re: MiLight gives me 20;16;CMD UNKNOWN;

I don't know if it does, someone more knowledgable than me might be able to confirm either way. You could download the loader program from the website (it comes with the firmware download iirc). Connect mega to usb and turn on serial port logging then press the "milight on" button. When yo...

Re: Ikea Ansluta send commands multiple times

Thanks - I appreciate it. If it helps, if I run a script in Domoticz to repeat 5 times, it normally gets all the lights on by the third repeat (at least I think it is the 3rd - I just counted the number of times the TX led on the mega flashed). Also, without the script in Domoticz, if I get HA-bridg...

Have you turned on MiLight in the loader program?

Re: Connecting multiple tranceivers to one Mega

Hi I am also really new to rflink so don't apologise for the questions - I have had loads and am a complete amateur so glad I can help by sharing a bit of my (very) limited experience You can't change the pins for the cc2500 - I asked before in this forum and stuntteam confirmed that you can't. I ha...

Re: Connecting multiple tranceivers to one Mega

Absolutely. I used breadboard initially then prototyping board when I added a cc2500. I'm now running 433, cc2500 and 2 nrf24xxx. Also an esp so it is wireless. So a total of 5 transceivers. I found that I couldn't find a cc2500 with standard pin spacing so had to get some 2mm to 2.54mm jumper wires...

Re: Newbie advice

I'm also new to this so this may not be the best way to do this. I control the rflink from domoticz which always runs in the background on my PC. Domoticz is able to send push notifications (via a 3rd party service) to my phone. This functionality and instructions are in the settings menu. Hope this...

Ikea Ansluta send commands multiple times

Hi I have successfully got this working with my Ansluta lights however I often need to send the command multiple times to ensure that the lights switch on or off (I have 3 separate lights linked to one remote and often when the on/off command is transmitted it only one or two will receive the signal...

Re: Change which pins transceivers are connected to

Cool, thanks for the quick response.

Kudos for RFLink - I think it is amazing and it got me messing about with a soldering iron after 20 yrs. Great stuff.

Change which pins transceivers are connected to

Sorry if this has been already answered anywhere - I searched the boards and couldn't find it. Is there any way to change which pins are connected to the various transceivers? I am building a board with 1 cc2500, 2 nrf24's, a 433mhz module, and connected to network via an ESP8266. To fit this nicely...
