ok i see - as i thought. the receiver is not good!
what you can do is what i said above - move very close to the receiver and press your buttons on the remote and solder a copper wire to the ant pin

What is the USB serial chip on the nano? If it’s the ftdi version it stops receiving after some minutes. You will need the ch340 version. Best source is eBay for about 6€ inkl. Versand. You only must solder the connectors to the pub.
good point klaus!
could be an issue too.

@tpointandrew
are you that pimatic is the problem? Maybe your arduino or receiver is defected, or maybe your remote control?
Thx for all the tipps. After the Info about the arduino nano i have switched to the gpio setup with homeduino and everything works fine at the moment.
my cpu is at max 10% with a lot of running plugins, but I will order the right nano stick these days
The signal is absolutly okay without the nano.
Please keep us informed!

@tpointandrew I had some problems with receiving using the same receiver. I’m not sure why, but it made a big difference to connect a ground between the nano and the RPI.
okay, but my nano with connected with a ground on Rpi. Or do you mean a resistor?
@tpointandrew sorry, my bad. I took a look at my setup. I use a second powersource to power my RF receiver/transmitter and DHT. The data pins are connected to the nano, ground and VCC come from my powersource. Now there is a extra wire(ground) between the powersource and the ground of the nano (pin 4) Normally i would think the nano is powered by USB so it wouldn’t need some extra wiring, but without the ground i have a range about a 1/2 meter
