I know not all 433 devices are supported, but I also know some needs special procedures.
I got my KAKU connected very easy with the auto create option. But I have a electronic fireplace which can be controlled with a remote:
on the backside:
433,92MHz
Type: RC01-004
But google doesn’t know much about the contol. Also the led’s on the rfxcom won’t go on after pressing a button. But hey… they also don’t
when I use the remote of my Somfy. So… could this remote be used? Or should this be asked at rfxcom?
Yes there are many 433.92Mhz devices that are not supported so you should not be surprised if you have one that isn’t. I have several. It might help if you provided a bit more info. Does your fireplace remote have a manufacturer name? If it is sold in the US it should have an FCC ID right on the remote itself. But even knowing all that may not help. RFXCOM does monitor this forum so I don’t think it’s necessary to contact them.
You may be able to see if a message is being received by the transceiver by selecting the RFXtrx device in Vera and going to the Protocol settings tab. Note what you see below Last Received Message when you press the remote buttons.
Cool, have to try that this evening. An hour ago I was able with wirmware 1032 and protocol undec to read RAW data.
So it picks up the remote control. Would be cool if that could be put into a device.
And I got this for the ON/I command from support:

So, importing and thus excecuting the last part from a txt file will indeed turn on my fireplace!’
The next step will be to get it into a device in Vera to power on/off the fireplace.
BTW the ON button can be pressed 3 times: ON, 1000watt heater, 2000w heater.
This post is really good i also faced this situation when i tried to change my ac temperature through remote control but my remote control did not work properly 24 hour ac repair so i want a solution how to remove this error.
You could start by creating a scene that executes a bit of lua code. You can test the code in the Vera Apps → Develop Apps → Test Luup code (Lua) window. Try this bit of code there:
Be sure to replace your_RFXtrx_device_number with the correct number. If that works to turn on your fireplace, use the raw data you posted above to turn it off.
Thanks, but I got the message, failed to test code. I used the device numer found in the advanced part of the RFXcom device, is that the correct one (in my case #21, witout the#)
Yes, that should be the correct device number. If you copied the code directly from my post, be sure the " characters are correct. When posts contain quoted code, regular " characters are replaced with forward and backward quote characters (“, ”). Also, I’m not sure why the Vera interface sometimes returns a “Failed to test code, please try again” message even though the code worked. I tried sending the same message to my RFXtrx and I also got the failed message. But in the Vera log I could see a response message from the RFXtrx “04 02 01 03 00”. This message indicates a valid transmit.
