[solved]Problem with shutters

---

Hi Guys,

i have a few problems with v0.9:

I control a few llights and shutters with pimatic.
The lights work perfect after the update, but the shutters give me a great headace:

This is how the shutters are setup in the config file:

{
  "id": "rolladen4",
  "name": "Rolladen Esszimmer",
  "xOnLabel": "Auf",
  "xOffLabel": "Ab",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch4",
      "options": {
        "unit": 17,
        "id": 6
      }
    }
  ]
},

They worked perfect with 0.8 this way.
With 0.9 they don’t really work, the shutters go down a few centimeters and stop, sometimes they go down all the way, sometimes not, its all very unreliable.
Sometimes they don’t move at all…
I’m close to going back to 0.8…

The only debug data I get when activating a shutter is:

21:50:28.197 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: Sending Protocol: switch4 unit:17 id:6 all:false state:true Pin:4 Repeats:10
21:50:29.775 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: data: "ACK"
21:50:29.821 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: Sending Protocol: switch4 unit:17 id:6 all:false state:true Pin:4 Repeats:10
21:50:30.299 [pimatic-homeduino] debug: data: “ACK”

I don’t know why the data comes twice…
I already played with the rfrepeats and set them to 10 but it didn’t really change anything.

Any suggestions?

dont know if it matters but you should take the class HomeduinoRFShutter

you could also try the autodiscovery

Ok, I’ll try that, the joke is, of my 5 shutters I control, one always works completely perfect…the others do what they want

reflash the homeduino nano maybe too with the latest Sketch

How do I do that?

i assumed that you are using an arduino for homeduino.
check the howto no.4, there the flashing process is described in the middle https://forum.pimatic.org/topic/202/4-homeduino-433-mhz-sending-receiving-and-even-more

Ok thank you was just searching but somehow went over it, yes I use a arduino pro nano.

I’ll just try and have a look into this

So the homeduino flash rescued it, works now! I did leave the devices as switches because i use a self built interface and it adds a bit of compexity with the api when i use Shutters, and it works good!
Thank you very much!

you’re welcome!
nice to hear that it works now!
will set this as solved
