Somfy support

Kiss Barna Albert

@leader21
Tha latest version, and i have all plugins up to date, i get ‘no updates available’.
I have tried again, very close to the receiver, but nothing.
I will try to build an Rf sniffer tomorrow with an arduino, and i hope to see something.

Try the following: change the below settings at your config.json. should be relatively on top of it.

“debug” = “true”,
“loglevel” = “debug”,

I don’t have yet set, but i have debug info from other 433 devices:

ok, i see! your homeduino is working properly.
icesory told me once that homeduino needs improvement for receiving “special” code.
maybe that somfy protocol is one of that special kind of code …
sorry, i am of no help anymore since this is beyond me …

@leader21 Thank you anyway. I solved in other way - i hope just for the moment - i made a rf receiver arduino with relay shield and i send commands from the pimatic box.
I will wait for somfy support in homeduino.

leader21

nice to hear that you are having a workaround.
maybe you could tell us more about so other users can participate.

Ok,

The wiring to the 230V part is not yet made, but the relay are working correctly, remotely. Soon i will come back with confirmation - and the schematics.

i’ll try to describe what i do in this weekend, for my new rolling shader.

I have: Centralis Uno RTS and Telis 1 RTS remote control.

We have 3 wires coming from the shader motor - Null - Up - Down 230V each.
Centralis Uno gives us 180 sec in each direction. - or stops at the ‘my’ button pressed.

I have Arduino Uno + Relay Shield + RWS317(433mhz)

From the pimatic i declared a new device :

{
      "id": "halo-redony",
      "name": "Halo redony",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch1",
          "options": {
            "id": 123,
            "unit": 2
          }
        }
      ]
    }

a new button group:

{
      "id": "redony-buttons",
      "name": "Redony-buttons",
      "class": "ButtonsDevice",
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "redony-down",
          "text": "Redony down"
        },
        {
          "id": "redony-up",
          "text": "Redony up"
        }
      ]
    }

and new rules for the buttons:

{
      "id": "redonydown",
      "name": "redonydown",
      "rule": "if redony-down button is pressed then turn on halo-redony",
      "active": true,
      "logging": false
    },
    {
      "id": "redonyup",
      "name": "redonyup",
      "rule": "if redony-up button is pressed then turn off halo-redony",
      "active": true,
      "logging": false
    }

On the other side:

#include <NewRemoteReceiver.h>
int redonyfel = 4;
int redonyle = 5;
const unsigned long redony_interval = 25;
unsigned long timerfel = 0; 
unsigned long timerle = 0;
long previousTime = 0;        
long interval = 1000;           
int ledState = LOW; 
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  NewRemoteReceiver::init(0, 2, showCode);
  pinMode(redonyfel, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(redonyle, OUTPUT);
 
}
void loop() {

if (timerfel > 0 and millis() >= timerfel)   // check if Inside timer is active and expired
     {
     digitalWrite(redonyfel,LOW);               
     Serial.println("Inside timer expired"); 
       Serial.println(timerfel);   
     timerfel = 0;                               // remove timer flag
     }

if (timerle > 0 and millis() >= timerle)   // check if Inside timer is active and expired
     {
     digitalWrite(redonyle,LOW);                
     Serial.println("Inside timer expired"); 
       Serial.println(timerle);   
     timerle = 0;                           
     }
  
}

void showCode(NewRemoteCode receivedCode) {
  Serial.println("Addr ");
  Serial.println(receivedCode.address);

  if ((receivedCode.address == 123) and (receivedCode.unit == 2 )) {
  switch (receivedCode.switchType) {
    case NewRemoteCode::off:
      Serial.println(" off");
     if (timerle > 0) {
      break;
     }
     else {
      digitalWrite(redonyfel,HIGH); 
      timerfel = millis() + 45000;  //45 seconds enough
      Serial.println(timerfel);
     break;
     }
    case NewRemoteCode::on:
      if (timerfel > 0) {
        break;
      }
      else
      {
      digitalWrite(redonyle,HIGH); 
      timerle = millis() + 45000;    
      Serial.println(timerle);
      break;
      }    
  }
  }  
}

Ok, it’s working! Now i made the wiring, and the tests, everything looks good. Hm, not everything, actually the setup beside the original Somfy controller looks UGLY, in my bedroom…

hyperx

Just as an information:

I also got Somfy for nearly every shutter in my house, it was “build in” from my house manufacturer…
Since i know that there was no support for somfy products i changed everything to intertechno-shutters with the same and build in wiring.
Later i sold everything on ebay and got ~ 45-50 Euro for ONE receiver (used !!) remember, i bought the intertechno shutters for 30 Euro.
Over all, everything works as expected.

Although this is quite a old topic.
Is there any progress in supporting Somfy RTS remotes from within Pimatic ?

Not as far as I know as we’re currently short on developers willing to deep dive into the details of rf-control.

Kiss Barna Albert

@hyperx Good idea! It’s ugly anyway. I will get intertechno…

maybe it helps

Got it to work with rflink.

Hi, are there any news on this Topic? Somfy and Simu support would be great like in Pilight
