RSLR2 Socketswitch Conrad

---

Hi everybody,

thanks for this nice open source software and great support in this forum!
I have a litte question. Today i bought some of this switches from Conrad: https://www.conrad.de/de/rsl-funk-lampenschalter-rslr2-1-kanal-schaltleistung-max-100-w-reichweite-max-im-freifeld-25-m-640456.html

In some topic I read that i have to use the switch12 protocol to get them working. But it doesn’t.
Have anyone some experience how to get then working?

Thank you.

Sorry for my bad english
Kai

Thx for your compliments and welcome to pimatic!
Could you pls. post your debug data. Maybe the protocol needs to be created for this one.

I have no remote switch because i thought i dont’t need them.
Which kind of debug data i have to post?

Greets Kai

Ah ok, without switch you won’t have any debug output since you don’t send data.

Did you try to set the device to self learning mode and the switch it on via pimatic?

yep. I tried that but it doesn’t work
I think I’m going to buy some remote control for it today. Then I can post the Debug Data to you.

Thanks Kai

kai pls wait with buying a remote or switch!
i think i have found a matching remote. am not quite sure about it but this on is what i have here :

well, as it seems, that should be the RSLT remote as i have read here

I got this remote some years ago on a flea market but never got it to work. so it gathered dust in the basement. I never heared of McPower as RF components, though.

Will post some debug data and hope our homeduino experts can get it to work

here’s the debug

i asked @icesory to fiddle some protocol together.
hope it will be the correct hardware …

does anybody know what brand McPower is? The RF product series of McPower is called “Multi Comfort”? I never heared of it.
Is it compatible with the RSL RF series? I have no clue!

Is it possible to send this codes via Pimatic or what is the challenge to decode your debug data?
I found some small remote for this system at conrad (about 10€). May I buy it, push the buttons to get the debug data and bring it back to the store

Would be interesting to see if it matches. To be honest I haven’t created rf protocols yet therefore I don’t know about the efforts. But here is a howto https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs

I broke my computer science studies after two semesters… as a graphic designer is that kind of stuff a little bit too difficult i think

hi @leader21 and @Icesory

this is the debug data if I press the on button 1 on the remote i’ve bought today:

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: switch11:  { id: 24158, unit: 1, state: false }
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: received: [ 560, 1236, 6848 ] 100101011010100110010101011010011001010101101001010101010101010102
debug [pimatic-homeduino]: data: "RF receive 1236 560 6848 0 0 0 0 0 011010100101011001101010100101100110101010010110101010101010101012"

the switch at the bottom of the remote is on position I of IV

if i this code to the config file and try to switch the light on it take a while. than i get a timeout message and pimatic seems to get stuck. only a reboot of pimatic gets the system working.

    {
      "id": "socket-1",
      "name": "Licht",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch11",
          "options": {
            "id": 24158,
            "unit": 1
          }
        }
      ]
    }

greets kai

Ok seems to be a different protocol then as my remote. Shoot …

But i don’t know what i’ve to do now? Is there a bug in the switch11 protocol?
The units doesn’t switch on or off and i only get the timeout message and pimatic break down

sorry i have no clue! @icesory @mwittig @sweetpi any idea?

The timeout say, that there is some failure in your config/hardware.
First you must find the problem with this.
Can you control other protocol with your pimatic setup?

hi @Icesory

everything is fine with other protocols, i use some switches from brennenstuhl and everything is fine.
only if i use the protocl of the conrad switches the systems stucks and i have to reboot. i don’t know where i can find some debug data for the problem? the error log of pimatic is empty after rebooting

greets kai

Hi,

I don’t know if you can use protocols from pilight, but they have integrated Conrad RSL and I had them working with my Pi+pilight.

But the RF regularly killed my Pi (CPU usage too high), so I changed to pimatic with homeduino. Then I learned that Conrad-RSL is not working. Sad
I got these Conrad shutters quite cheap and the sell now for € 20, which is still cheap for shutters. I used them with pilight like switches, which was ok, down and up… thats ok for me.
I would love to have them work again with pimatic to use all the rules and stuff.
Is there any way to create a protocol that works on pimatic? I don’t have any remote, so I cannot deliver any debug. Thought when a protocol integration in a simalar app is done, must be a piece of cake for someone who knows the stuff.

I’d really appreciate an integration of those shutters/switches.

BR,
Torsten
