Shutter / Protocol EV1527

---

@mwittig Yeah, have seen that too. I will report my progress with pimatic-homeduino! Thanks in advance!

I’m having a motor screen from reflecta that had a 433 mhz remote too.
I replaced the external motor control box with the up/down/stop buttons (that your mimoto120 should have too) with an intertechno itl500. to operate the screen I am using a wall switch. works perfectly and can be controlled manually via switch, via pimatic and if you want to you can also operate via harmony if using a marmitec pyramid or the light manager from jbmedia.

@leader21 hi. I already thought about it. but that would be the last exit for me if nothing else works. trying to keep the warrenty as long as possible. bought the screen last month

@Partovic
thats the answer i expected.
i didn’t care about warranty since i was able to open the control box very easy and changing the wiring without any harm. hoping for you that the ev1527 protocol will work soon

@leader21 That’s a useful hint. I keep that in mind This weekend I will give it a try. It’s a nightmare to get everything controlled but the screen

Hey, just my progress for now:

• figured out which raw codes are working.
• managed to use the codes for “UP”, “DOWN” and “STOP” with plight-send -p raw.
• try’d to get pimatic-homeduino work. But didn’t figured out how to set up without haven actually an Arduino. Any useful tutorials for me?
• added “DummyShutter” to pimatic and use rules with pimatic-shell-execute to execute my .sh-files “shutterUp.sh, shutterDown.sh and shutterStop.sh”. Works for now.

Still open:

• pimatic-homeduino to use native ev152
• pimatic-lirc to control shutter with my harmony: Didn’t worked. LIRC is running and receives commands from the remote but pimatic shows command and remote variable as null. Any ideas? What am I missing?

EDIT: @sweetpi: would be nice if DummyShutter has a “STOP” button too. Most shutter remotes have one of those

@leader21 thanks! will try that the next days!

for now I’m really happy with the bash / shell execute solution.
But I’m stuck with pimatic lirc…
Pimatic Variables alway say: $lirc.remote: null; $lirc.command: null.
So no commands are recognized by pimatic.

Does anyone have some good advices for me?

EDIT: Another question: Does anyone have experience with the MCE IR-Receiver via USB? Would be perfect to let my RPi stored in my TV bench and place the IR-Receiver outside of it.

Reconfigured LIRC. Now it is detected by pimatic and works perfect! Now my harmony can control the shutter within Actions thank you very much. thinking about buying an arduino to get things a little cleaner. for now it is perfect!

You can use a “ButtonsDevice” with three buttons to solve this relative easily.
