A new document has been posted that describes how to connect a KMtronic relay card to the RFXLAN.
And how to connect a key fob (in this example a Visonic) to the relay card.

Re: RFXLAN I/O with relay and key fob connected
Hey Bert,
I'm confused. When you mention RFXLAN. Do you mean the new RFXcom tranceiver or the old one (87005)?
In other words: Is the relay board a substitute for RFXIO that I can connect to my 87005?
Second question: Relay board is only for output right?
Thanx for clearing this up.

Re: RFXLAN I/O with relay and key fob connected
When we are talking about RFXLAN it is the new LAN interface.
The main difference between the RFXLAN and the previous LAN/WLAN versions:
- RFXLAN does not pulse an output line during power up,
- RFXLAN has configurable pull-ups on input lines,
- Changes on input lines are pushed to the application (polling is not necessary)
- RFXLAN has an RFXCOM LAN interface which makes it possible to flash TCP/IP or xPL firmware.
The previous versions with Lantronix inside can also use the KMtronic relay card.

You can connect a KMTRONIC relay card to the RFXLAN:
http://www.sigma-shop.com/product/63/ei ... ct-5v.html
Inhouse RF distance depends very much on the type of building material used. For example concrete with an iron network inside will block a lot of RF.
In this document you will find a rough indication of RF reduction:

If possible you can connect a 2nd antenna using a splitter but the results depends very much on the cable length and construction of the splitter. Better is to install a 2nd RFXLAN, you can connect up to 8 receivers in the RFXCOM plug-in.

The RFXLAN I/O description has been updated with a connection for a rain sensor

Re: RFXLAN I/O with relay and key fob connected
Question...
I want to route the doorbell signal through my domotica system:
doorbell > kaku doorbell remote > rfxlan > homeseer > rfxlan IO > gong
Can i connect a relay of the KMTronic board directly on my doorbell, instead of the doorbell-button?
