Nexxtech RF outlets

I finally managed to get some RF devices and I have no clue how to turn them on and off from pimatic. I managed to make monitor and receive the following

Where do I go from there?

@sebastienvg the next things is to configure pimatic to use your homeduino device.

Something like

    {
      "plugin": "homeduino",
      "driver": "serialport",
      "driverOptions": {
        "serialDevice": "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0",
        "baudrate": 115200
      },
      "receiverPin": 0,
      "transmitterPin": 5
    },

Then all the things you currently receive will be automatically translated by pimatic (if there is a protocol for it)

@Yves911 I got that already, I just don’t know how to declare the devices and how to decode what I got while pushing buttons and capturing the frames.

@sebastienvg ok very good, pimatic log should contains useful info for that could you check?

you should have things like this

@Yves911 I see things in the logs, what do I do with that then

debug [pimatic-homeduino]: data: "RF receive 471 1289 13900 0 0 0 0 0 011001011001010101010101011001010101010101100110010102"

this is what happens when I press button 1 ON on the remote

@sebastienvg ok that means the protocol is not yet supported by pimatic
Could you share with us some info about your RF hardware?

@Yves911 I’d like to write it but where do I start? I run homeduino on a nano v3 the receiver and transceiver and those that were sitting on the ninjacrust, they have antennas and they look very similar to the ones I’ve seen used by pretty much everyone around here. The outlets Nexxtech were purchased at The Source. What other details should I provide?

@sebastienvg you can start here https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic/issues/222#issuecomment-56294356
Also collect every messages you get into pimatic log for every buttons you press

I think for the most part I can follow these instructions but where I start getting a little lost is around “pulseLengths” and all that stuff. I’ll give it a go thank you for your help.

I would make tomorrow some protocols. I can make it for you.

@Icesory that awesome I owe you beer, meanwhile I am eager to learn. I have cloned the repo and started editing the files, captured the buttons (by the way after some digging seems there’s up to 4 channels available I have “D” on the back of the remote.

@Icesory I certainly don’t want to be pushy with this, I was wondering if you had done any progress with this one or maybe you can explain how to figure the pulseLengths after that I am hoping I’ll be one byte closer to success.
