[Solved] Remote control doesnt change state of Pimatic

---

Hi,

As a new user of Pimatic I have setup serveral switches successfully.
With the remote control I read in Debug the info for the config file. Now I can switch the switches with Pimatic.

But when I use the remote control to turn on en off the switches Pimatic doesn’t change the state of the switch.

Do i do something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe your receiver or the antenna is not good enough?
Try to trigger your remote far from Pimatic and then close to it and observe the logs…

No, thats not it.

I receive everything very good, I can see in messages->debug. Just the status of the switches does not change.
This is the case with two different swtiches (Kaku, switch 6 and Eurodomest, switch 5)

have you set the “receive”: false?

I don’t think thats it either.

Don’t have Receive is false.

I tried to add Receive is true for device “Dressoir” but that didn’t help:

{
  "id": "Bank",
  "name": "Bank",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch6",
      "options": {
        "systemcode": 4,
        "programcode": 1,
        "repeats": 5
      }
    }
  ]
},
{
  "id": "Dressoir",
  "name": "Dressoir",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch6",
      "options": {
        "systemcode": 4,
        "programcode": 2,
        "repeats": 5
      },
      "send": true,
      "receive": true
    }
  ]
},

You have added a “repeats” to the options field. But this field doesn’t exist in the message. Homeduino compares the RF message with the options field.

So your switches can’t react on the received message. Remove this wrong entry repeats and it should work.

YES! thats it.

I thought that a repeat of 5 times of sending would be better but later I think that I read that Pimatic send 7 time by default so that fine by me.
Problem solved, Thanks!

I have worked on an per device repeats. But at the moment this is not in the official build.
