Multiprotocol switch

---

Hello,

i’m adding al my devices to pimatic. Used Domoticz and Homewizard before.
Run into problems when adding devices that report multiple protocols :

tried adding the different protocols but nothing works?

You must explain your problem a little bit more precise.

Multiprotocol means, that the Switch you added to pimatic can react on different real remotes or the other way it can send the information through different protocols.

what hardware do you have? tell us some more about it and what you want to do exactly.
here you can see the protocols assigned to the devices : https://github.com/pimatic/rfcontroljs/blob/master/protocols.md

sorry, i am new to pimatic. Have a raspberry pi with arduino nano. Works fine, just these switches give multiple protocols when switching them. The work perfect from homewizard or domoticz with rfxcom.

i wish to add them to pimatic and be able to use them. when i switch them now nothing happens.

Device is apa2-2300r from klik aan klik uit.

will try switch4 and switch1 again.

kaku should work on switch 4.

    {
      "id": "wallplug",
      "name": "Wallplug",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch4",
          "options": {
            "unit": 4,
            "id": 2
          }
        }
      ]
    },

try this one. my intertechno’s work fine on that!

no need to apologize! just feel free to ask your questions. pimatic is so “huge”, you need to grow into it.

Take a look here: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/35/supported-devices

I made al list of 433mhz devices with the correct protocol. I one is not in there (and its working), feel free to post it so i can add it.

thanks!!! That worked! So stupid that i didn’t see it myself.
But as you said, pimatic is huge! have a lot of plugins loaded and testing to see if it can replace my domoticz and homewizard. And i think it can!

is it possible to create a virtual switch that will start a “scene” ? Go to bed and get up?
These scenes will switch multiple switches and other devices.

you can give it a try with the buttons device.
this device creates some “dummy” buttons, that can be used in rules.

@patricknooijen Yes there is. Its called a dummyswitch:

{
  "class": "DummySwitch",
  "id": "dummy-switch",
  "name": "Dummy Switch"
},
{
  "class": "DummyDimmer",
  "id": "dummy-dimmer",
  "name": "Dummy Dimmer"
},
{
  "class": "DummyShutter",
  "id": "dummy-shutter",
  "name": "Dummy Shutter"
}

thanks! looking into that right now!
