[solved]Homeduino not sending / receiving

---

Hello,

I am trying to setup Homeduino but I can’t seem to succeed getting it to work. I have tried everything and setup my pi and receiver / transmitter exactly as described according to this https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/202/4-homeduino-433-mhz-sending-receiving-and-even-more/2.

I am testing a KAKU remote but I don’t get a response from my pi. I also tried to get a wallsocket to receive signals according to https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/210/5-homeduino-and-rf-devices-433-mhz-transmitting-receiving but also no luck

Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

thanks so much!

Joost

hey joost!
did you activate the debug output in the plugin settings?
guess i need to update the howto with that step …

go to the pimatic menu on the left, click plugins, then scroll to homeduino, click settings, then scroll down to debug and activate (yes)

yes i did. it didn’t really help me.

however, I was able to fix it by using this instruction: http://shop.ninjablocks.com/blogs/how-to/7506204-adding-433-to-your-raspberry-pi

by using the sniffer tool i was able to picking up a signal. In the end it seems that my pi (v3) is not working with pin 18 (gpio 1) but need to use pin 27 (gpio 2) instead…

after i changed the config to this everything was working smoothly:

{
“driver”: “gpio”,
“driverOptions”: {},
“receiverPin”: 2,
“transmitterPin”: 0,
“enableReceiving”: true,
“debug”: true,
“plugin”: “homeduino”,
“active”: true
},

nice to hear and good to know. i will add that to the howto.
maybe it will help anybody else with similar problems
