Plugin version 1.80

Hello,

I have installed the version 1.80. After restart I hqve the following message
“Error executing function RFX_showProtocols(): firmwareType is undefined”

The device is not starting yet.

VeraPlus version 1.7.4453

RFX version RFXtrx433_Ext_1025

Is this your original install of this plugin or have you just uploaded the updated files? In other words, did you have this plugin working before?

Hallo,

It is a new Installation, I habe uploaded the 1.53 zip file, later the 1.80. zip file.
I have all the time done the following steps
Create the device - reboot - create interface with /dev/ttyUSB0 - reboot

Than I have this message

I think the RFXtrx is not communicating with the Vera Hub. After uploading the plugin files, and creating the device go to the Vera Apps → Develop Apps → Serial port configuration. Some of the fields should already be filled in. Be sure to set the Baud 38400 Parity none Data bits 8 Stop bits 1. The from the drop-down “Used by device:” select the RFXtrx using the name you gave it when you created it.
I’ve highlighted the item you need to set/check:
2019_05_19_15_31_46_Window

Thk, for the Information. I have selected all the time another device on Port 3481. It should works now.
I understand, that I have to pair now the Remote Control. Do you have someone Information, how I have to do it with the Sompfy Remote?

I suggest you look at the RFXtrx User Guide. Section 9 of that document describes how to pair Somfy devices. You can download the guide from RFXCOM.COM

Hi, I have the same Nexa smoke sensors as @mattiazze , and the same problem with v1.8, they don’t trigger. Strangely enough if I remove them, press test to trigger the alarm, they are added without a problem, but subsequent presses on the test button won’t trigger the sensor in Vera despite the message being the same.

From the LUA log I can read this:

Any idea what’s going on here?

OK, there’s a bug in the code I’m looking into it.

UPDATE: Not sure there is a bug here. I’ve tested by sending a message exactly like the one your smoke detector sends using a second RFXtrx and RFXmngr. With auto-create on two devices are created: one for the smoke detector and a second remote control device.

Question: were two devices created in your situation?
If possible, recreate your situation and capture the log data around the time the device(s) are created.

That is exactly what is happening in my setup. Auto-create on and triggering the smoke detectors creates two devices, one smoke detector and one remote (as expected). The (virtual) remote can be used to trigger the siren on the smoke detector if pressing the panic button. After the devices are created, when triggering the smoke detector, nothing happens in Vera, instead the errors above are shown in the log:
02 07/15/19 16:25:37.998 luup_log:22: RFXtrx: warning: No decode message for message: 08 20 03 0B DD 15 00 06 50 Error: [string “module(“L_RFXtrx”, package.seeall)…”]:2022: attempt to concatenate field ‘cmd’ (a table value) <0x72751520>

I’ve found the problem. I’ll include the fix in the next version. Should be ready in a day or two.

Strangely enough, when I removed the sensors and tried to re-add them, same error occurred and I could not add them again. Probably due tho the same problem you found. Thank you again for your efforts to keep this going! Looking forward to the fix!

Hi!
I’m new on the forum and i’ve been looking around for a plugin that would control the Somfy Connect module. while searching I found a plugin for the URTSI that could work… the plugin use serial port for communication, I wounder if we could change the communication for IP to control the Somfy Connect

any ideas?

thanks!

Hi
I have just acquired an rfxcom433XL with its Teleinfo extension, can you update the plugin so that you can use this new extension please?

Hi,
Can you tell me where to find the instructions for installing V1.87? Maybe I’m being a bit thick, but I can’t seem to find them.

I’ve just upgraded my Vera 3 to UI7 and was previously using Beta 3. I’ve removed all Beta 3 files and am starting again, with a clean install. I found bits and pieces on installation of Beta 3 and the obsolete V1.1, but no definitive installation guide for V1.87. Maybe I’m missing something?

There are some instructions here: APNT-116 - Configuring VERA UI7 to work with RFXtrx433 transceiver — Vesternet
They’re a bit outdated and of course you don’t want to use the link provided to get the files. Installation really just comes down to copying (uploading) the files to the Vera hub. The only exception to that is icon files. I believe that the Vera hub will compress icon files and upload them to the wrong place. So it’s best to copy them using something like WinSCP. Icon files (those ending in .png) should be uploaded to /www/cmh/skins/default/icons/
So you should unzip the zipfile containing the 1.87 files, upload them in the browser using Vera Apps → Develop Apps → Luup Files → Upload. The browse the the location of the files on your PC, select all of them (except the .PNG files) and upload.

Great. Thanks for that.

@Tinman: did you already upgrade your systems to 1.7.4955 ( 7.31 beta2) without issues? Are your Rfxtrx433xl work with this version without issues as you had some with Beta1?

Thanks

Michael

I’m currently running 1.7.4903 (7.31) and have no issues. I’m doing some development on the plugin and don’t want to deal with anything that might pop up with beta2. I’ll let some other folks try beta2 before I install it bit I expect I’ll do that next week.

Thanks @tinman ! it works great!

Firmware version 1.7.4833 (7.30)

So it’s best to copy them using something like WinSCP. Icon files (those ending in .png) should be uploaded to /www/cmh/skins/default/icons/

How did you that. This is a read only area. Is it possible to change this (i can’t find the way)
Thanks a lot for your help!
