RFXcom and HE202 dim switch

Hello

I am using a rfxcom LAN transceiver (receiver and tranmitter) with a HE202 dim switch.

I am however having problems with a Homeasy dim plug (HE-202) and the latest version of Domotiga.

I know the device and the rfxcom are talking fine, because I can use the rfxmitter.executable to configure the device in the AC tab, and control it on/off from there.

However, my problem in domotiga is that I don't know what value to give to the HE module; For example, if the set the device ID in rfxmitter.exe as 2031402 Unit 1 (and learning mode on the HE device) , specifying this value (2031402 or 20314021) in the DevUnit field of the HE device in Domotiga, I get the following error message: Invalid HEEU address '20314021' given!

How do I convert the device ID (such as 2031402) to a value that Domotiga can use?

Debug logs: on the domotiga (three different values attempted as you can see):

2011/11/20 12:09:57 [RFXComRX] Variable Mode => F02C
2011/11/20 12:09:57 Initialized xmitter for Handshake usage with => F033F033
2011/11/20 12:09:57 [RFXComTX] ACK=>33
2011/11/20 12:09:57 Version request to xmitter => F030F030
2011/11/20 12:09:57 xmitter has Firmware Version: 44

2011/11/20 12:10:57 [RFXComTX] Invalid HEEU address '0x00102031' given!
2011/11/20 12:17:56 [RFXComTX] Invalid HEEU address '22004080D000' given!
2011/11/20 12:19:21 [RFXComTX] Invalid HEEU address '22004080D0' given!

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I have been strugling with the HE devices as well. here you might find something helping you get this working:domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=38&amp ... =15#p50188 . I have some of these devices as wel and did not get the dimmer part working very well.

Thanks mate

It looks like you were lucky by specifying Identification X10 Addr. B3, but I am pretty sure there is a way to specifying the correct HEX somewhere...

Tried with setting up the device as a AC X10 with B3, still no luck ;(

Surely there must be a way of finding out the righ hex value to put in as a HE device. (UK)

Will investigate and fix it, too bad rfxmitter.exe doesn´t show the byte anymore in its log, would be easier to see what you guys do...

Status update.
I have the AC protocol address coding part fixed on my dev box so now we are able to use the same address values as in RFXtransmitter.
Also on/off is ok, just have to fix preset dimming.. and then I publish it.

Please try 0.1.202 version. Look at new address format example in device editor.
