Intertechno Dimmer

---

Hi,

at the moment i use some normal socket switches for a few lights in the house.

Now I plan to install 3 lights on the wall which should be dimmable.
And i want to be able to dim them with pimatic and switch them on & off with a wall switch.

I plan to use a Internechno ITLR-300 dimmer for the three lamps, and my question is:

Do I need to buy a intertechno remote too, because the ITLR-300 doesn’t have Dip switches or something like that…
Or would it be better to use the Intertechno ITE-300?

And I plan to install the Intertechno YWT-8500 just for swiching them on / Off from the wall, is that possible?

@theslashy

The YWT-8500 Wallswitch has Wheel Codes, so you could only use it with CMR-300, ITE-300 dimmer receiver.

if you buy the the ywt-8500 wallswitch and a dimmer device, you dont need a remote too. it will work with switch4 homeduino protocol like this example

https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/35/supported-devices-plug-and-play/68

The ID/Unit codes you can readout with the debug-option in pimatic or needs to be translates with this list

you can also use self-learning, synchronize it together, readout with debug-option and use it with switch1-protocol

I use an ITS-2000 in combination with ITL-1000, The ITL-1000 has no dim-function but it should also work with self-learning dimmer device like ITL-300

Perfect thank you very much!!

@theslashy

oh sorry

Intertechno self-learning dim-devices uses dimmer1 protocol
https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/35/supported-devices-plug-and-play/27

so if codewheeled-dimm-devices are able to dimm in pimatic i couldn`t say

Ok, I hope someone else will respond,but in the dimmer1 protocol i can use ID & Unit too so there is hope it works

Hi Guys,

as I plan to use LED Lamps i will neet to use the Intertechno ITDM-250.
This is a self learning dimmer and i have no idea how to setup these?

As I understand i put the dimmer in a “learning” mode and then press a button on the remote.
But as I have no remote, do I just put them in learning mode and read the debug log and the dimmer sends Its code or what?

thanks for your help

you want to “program” your itdm250 and have no switch or remote? you can try to code it with pimatic.

setup a dimmer device with an intertechno protocol and use and the unit and id combination from this table here :

then set the itdm250 into learning mode and switch it on via pimatic.
the dimmer won’t send any debug data since it is a receiver only!

usually this should work.

Cool thank you very much!!

You’re welcome. Hope it will work as expected

Or save the trouble and buy a remote, it’s only EUR 14,00… And also handy if something does not work with pimatic

My 5 ct.

Cheers,

So I have the ITE-300 now lying here but I can’t get it to work.

The turnwheels are set to 9 - A so the ID shoud be 26 and Unit 31.

I tried dimmer one like this:

{
  "id": "dimmer1",
  "name": "Dimmer1",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFDimmer",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "dimmer1",
      "options": {
        "id": 26,
        "unit": 31
      }
    }
  ]
}

But it doesn’t do anything…any suggestions?

So I bought the Remote Switch YWT-8500 too, and when I set it to the Codes of the Dimmer,
I can press on and the light on the dimmer fades from low to high and on second press it stays at that level.

But with dimmer1 nothing works…

Do you see any debug data in pimatic when pressing the ywt switch?

Yes:

@pimatic-team
any idea?

Try dimmer2

Sorry, nope, no reaction with dimmer2 either

Does anybody have an idea?

sorry, i’m out. do not have a clue nor a dimmer

first try to switch your dimmer with

{
  "id": "it1500",
  "name": "IT1500",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch4",
      "options": {
        "id": 26,
        "unit": 31
      }
    }
  ]
}

with this you should be able to switch them on and off…

for self-learning devices :
dimmer1 has a pulselengh and counts like switch1, so there a near similar

switch1:

pulseLengths: [268, 1282, 2632, 10168],
pulseCount: 132,

dimmer1:

pulseLengths: [260, 1300, 2700, 10400],
pulseCount: 148,

… so they works…

i think switch2 to dimmer2 are too different

switch2

pulseLengths: [306, 957, 9808],
pulseCount: 50,

dimmer2

pulseLengths: [204, 328, 1348, 10320],
pulseCount: 144,

you could try to implement the pulselengh and pulsecounts yourself into the dimmer1.js and

replace

    pulseLengths: [260, 1300, 2700, 10400],
    pulseCount: 148,

with

    pulseLengths: [306, 957, 9808],
    pulseCount: 50,

maybe that could work as “botch-solution”

@mwittig, how does the ITL-230 works with remote??
i wonder that dimmer1 was sending an dim-level and the ITL handle with that.

i dont know the ITE-300 could receive a dim-level.

they works like this with remote:
press off turn of the light
press on, turn on the light
pres on again start a floating dim-process from the currently dim-level to 100% and then down to 5%
second pressing the on-button stops the float and hold that dim-level.
pressing off the light gets off.
