Multiple Sending Plugin

---

Hello,
first of all, i’m new to this whole pimatic thing, but i have some basic JAVA knowledge.
I want to write a very simple plugin (or maybe a rule would be enough?) and i hope someone can help me with this.
If a signal gets send to a device (to turn it on or off), it should be repeated (maybe 3 times) to make sure the signal reaches its destination and dont disappear because something is in its way or something like that.

Someone have an idea, hint or something to help me out?

There are many ways to solve this problem.
First should be to improve the quality of your transmitter. Which do you use? Is a Antenna connected?

A other way is to increase the amount of repeats of the rf message. This can be done by manipulating the protocol files or the board.js

A use full way to solve this with rules are not exist at the moment. The problem is, that switch cant turn on when it is allways on and a buttonsdevice cant triggered by rules.

@Icesory
Thanks for your help, i also thought about manipulationg the existing files, do you know witch one exactly and where it’s located?

The problem by manipulating the files is, that the files are reset after a update.

Can you tell us something about your hardware?
Which computer? Arduino or GPIO? Which Receiver and Transmitter?

@Icesory
i’m using a raspberrypi and this receiver/transmitter

The receiver is really bad. But the sender should work good.
Do you have connected antennas?

@Icesory
no i don’t have a antenna contected.
I know that thies aren’t very good but they do there work. I have it all working, and it is sending a signal (with the web interface).
This whole thing was planed as a litte project at first not an actual home control.

First try for you should be to connect a 17cm wire to the antenna pin.

and after that?

After that your plugs should react better to pimatic. I think it isn´t necessary for you to change something in in the files.
Pimatic repeats every transmission seven times in the standard settings.

You can now increase the amount of RF repeats in the config file.
