[solved] Just "On" from remote not shown in frontend

---

Hi,

I’ve set up a remote switching set for homeduino with switch1.
It works, I can switch all 3 switches from the frontend.

But when I use the remote for the switches, the state doesn’t change in the frontend when I switch it to “On”, the frontend stays at “Off”.

On the other side, if I switch it to “On” via the frontend and then switch it to “Off” via the remote, then the state in the frontend also changes to “Off”.

Here’s the configuration of the device in the config.json:

    {
      "id": "fsd08",
      "name": "Beleuchtung Wohnzimmerschrank",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch1",
          "options": {
            "id": 59748338,
            "all": false,
            "state": false,
            "unit": 15
          },
          "send": true,
          "receive": true
        }
      ]
    },

and this is what I got from the messages in debug level when switching with the remote:

I can reproduce that every time, but I cannot see why this happens, everything looks good for me.
Where is my error?

Thx,

You have defined a fix state in the protocol options.

"state": false,

So the switch can only react on an state = false.
Change your config to this and it should work.

    {
      "id": "fsd08",
      "name": "Beleuchtung Wohnzimmerschrank",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch1",
          "options": {
            "id": 59748338,
            "unit": 15
          },
        }
      ]
    },

The send and receive statements are true by default. So this you dont need to set in the config.

Thank you very much, I understood that wrong, I thought in the config this would be just an initial state.
Now everything works fine

Great tool, I love it.

P.S.: How can I change the topic’s state to “solved”?

Simple edit the first post and add [Solved] to the thread name.
