how to catch the on and the off signal from KAKU apir-2150

---

i have a kaku apir-2150.
I want to use its signals to operate other non KAKU 433 aparatus.

If the apir-2150 sees motion it signals:

[pimatic-homeduino]: contact1: { id: 18223222, all: false, contact: false, unit: 9 }
[pimatic-homeduino]: pir5: { id: 18223222, all: false, presence: true, unit: 9 }
[pimatic-homeduino]: switch1: { id: 18223222, all: false, state: true, unit: 9 }

And after a time its signals

[pimatic-homeduino]: contact1: { id: 18223222, all: false, contact: true, unit: 9 }
[pimatic-homeduino]: pir5: { id: 18223222, all: false, presence: false, unit: 9 }
[pimatic-homeduino]: switch1: { id: 18223222, all: false, state: false, unit: 9 }

But i can not figure out how to capture the on or the off signal so i can make rules to oparate other aparatus.

Thank Hans

@hansjeu
try the pir5 protocol. its for kaku pir.
code should be like

{
   "id": "Some Device Name",
   "class": "HomeduinoRFPir",
   "protocols": [
       {
         "name": "pir5",
         "options": {
                 "unit": 9,
                 "id": 18223222
                 },
         "receive": true
         }
      ],
   "autoReset": false
}

Thank jou,

I am using this protocol, but i can not pickup when the pis sends the presence is false signal.
I also see jou are using receive and autoReset where can i find info on these and other commands?
Can not find any reference to this.

Greetings Hans

See

• https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduino/blob/master/README.md
• https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduino/blob/master/device-config-schema.coffee#L414-L442

@leader21 It is always surpising to look into these things as it turns out that the HomeduinoRFPir device configuration does not support the receive property as far as I can see. However, this should not be a blocking issue.

Thanks I will start studieing this.

greetings Hans

you are right! well, let’s see what @sweetpi will come up with at v0.9 and the devices configuration page

@hansjeu Hans, did you manage to get the PIR working as expected? If the presence state does not change to “absent” after while you could try to use the “autoreset” feature and a “resetTime” of, say, 3000 milliseconds.

  "autoReset": true,
  "resetTime": 3000

funny thing. AAs I’ve mentioned previously engaged in creating a pimatic installation for friends. For this installation I used another 433MHz Superheterodyne RF Link kits 3400 ARM MCU Transmitter and Reveiver. This set does not have this problem.
So i orderd a new kit hoping this wil solve the problem.

Greetings Hans

Well yes, we recommend the 3400RF.
Keep us informed, so we hopefully can set this issue to solved with the new receiver

Anybody got this PIR working? I ordered it today and thought it is supported by pimatic.

This pir works very well
