Hey everyone,
I kinda need some help with HomeduinoRFSwitch on RaspberryPi.
I set up homeduino on my RaspberryPi following this great guide by @leader21.
First I tried the non-LLC version on the 3.3V Pin which worked quite okay. But I wanted the Receiver to be a little bit more sensitive so I bought a logic level converter.
Now the receiver isn’t receiving anymore when I hit the remote buttons even though I wired everything exactly as told in the guide (only exception are the pins. I used gpio0 and gpio2)
This is what I tested:
- voltage tester on the HV of the LLC: ~5V
- voltage tester on the LV of the LLC: ~3V
- voltage tester on the receiver: ~5V
- continuity tester between RXI and the data pin of the receiver: continuity
- continuity tester between RX0 and the data pin of the RaspberryPi: continuity
- continuity tester between data pin of the receiver and the data pin of the Raspberry: discontinuity
- continuity tester between data pin of the receiver and the data pin of the Raspberry while pushing the remote buttons: discontinuity
I’m not a great technician and I have no idea what these test reveal but shouldn’t there be continuity between the data pin of the receiver and the raspberry pin at some point?
In my config.json the plugin looks as follows:
{
"plugin": "homeduino",
"driver": "gpio",
"driverOptions": {},
"receiverPin": 0,
"transmitterPin": 2
}
When starting pimatic the log returns:
13:00:25.319 [pimatic] info: Starting pimatic version 0.8.68

On startup the debug returns:

13:00:53.720 [pimatic-homeduino] info: Connected to homeduino device.

Help is highly appreciated
