Elro HE843 Control Unit - how to config

Rantir

Hey guys,

i need some help and maybe someone could help me again.
Ive got a ELRO HE843 and want to use it to turn stuff on and off.
But i dont know how to integrate it to the config.js.

Could anyone help me out ?

do you receive the unit and id at the debug output?
if so, you can try to use switch2 similar as below. If on/off is inverted use switch3 instead

{
  "id": "someid",
  "name": "Some Name",
  "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
  "protocols": [
    {
      "name": "switch2",
      "options": {
        "unitCode": 18,
        "houseCode": "31"
      }
    }
  ]
},

jeah i recived the button and tryed to but it into as a switch, but when ever i hit the button it dont make a difference in pimatic.

here the debug output (notice i may pressed the button multiple times)

@Rantir
can you post your configuration of the switch?

you mean the config file?

rigth now i got the code leader21 posted.

but also some extra stuff liek this:

 "id": "WallSwitchWohnzimmr",
      "name": "WohnzimmerSwitchDuoLinks",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "buttons": [
        {
          "protocols": [
            {
              "name": "switch2",
              "options": {
                "houseCode": 17,
                "unitCode": "22"
              }
            }

EDIT:
strange before this changes the page showed at least the switch now it doesnt show anything

Icesory

Your config is wrong. You have mixed the switch device with the buttons device. Please take a close look to the Homeduino readme.

https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduino

leader21

yep! try my above code without any “extra stuff” !!

Rantir

GREAT thanks for ur supply so far.

ive used exactly what u did above… doesnt worked.(but shows up)

than i changed the codes to this:

 {
      "id": "someid",
      "name": "Some Name",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch",
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "switch2",
          "options": {
            "unitCode": 17,
            "houseCode": "22"
          }
        }
      ]
    },

well doesnt make a change.

any idears ?

PS: housecode without “” dont make a change at all.

PPS: if you know a cheap working cevice with 2 buttons i could grap this one instead

Icesory

You must understand the system behind this.
When you press a button on the Elro HE843 then homeduino receives the codes and tries to decode this.In your case sends the wallswitch with multiple protocols.
To react on this you need only one protocol in your switch device.

Can you pls post the debug output for one switch for on and off?

Rantir

I try to.

but maybe my reciver might be buggy, cause i need to press any kind or button device different times to get a debug.
Even the Remote which works fine ( it switches a switch by the button)

Or is this ok ?

EDIT:
Well i understood the system in general ( at least i think i do )

Rantir

Well any idear what i can do to fix this

Pimagical

Ok, now go to the Messages and select debug option as well as homeduino. (If not found homeduino than restart Pimatic service) Now you will see all debug messages from homeduino if you pressing on and off button of your switch.

Give your Debug output to us so we can really help you and we can check if you got the right (switch!) unitcode and housecode.

Debug example: http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/210/5-homeduino-and-rf-devices-433-mhz-transmitting-receiving

Or if this is already solved and only have transmitting issues try a longer antenna wire?!

Rantir

Well its some tima ago but i dont got rid of this by now.

I dont get any reply in the depug.
If i try to use the remote instead it works SOMETIMES.

What could be my problem ?
Wrong / bad reciver Antenna?
How shall i fix this ?

Right now its a a coil shape? But i dont remember the sizes of the coil. But if i used a size which suits for the mhz not some random size.

Well some times it works, some times it doesnt.

here is the debug of one of the buttons from the switch.
But as i said i need serval times and different angles until the debug lines appears
