No there is nothing in the debug log. What do you mean by decode the address? Since I am not a technician, I am always willing to learn new stuff :)

As mentioned I have a rfxcom tranceiver Lan version. Is there a way to see any logging in the rfxcom receiver itself? So I will have a look at that again.

Bert just told me that rfxreceiver can't decode flamingo because it's almost the same packet as kaku.
You can only use a transmitter to control it.
You can maybe also use a kaku wallswitch to control it, but then again you need to know the address used, and there is always a chance it's not using flamingo timing/coding at all, the chip can be programmed to use another one.

Last year I did not manage to get these plugs working. Since I moved over to Homeseer, I would give it an other try. Anyone who got these "promax" outdoor swiches working with Homeseer and willing to share how to get them working.

I have now RFXCOM plug-in 15.0.0.15 will the newer 15.0.0.16 help? And so, if updating the plug-in do I have to pay for it again?

Thanks.

From the remote which came with this devicE I do not receive any signal in the RFXCOM software.

What type of sensor are u using ? I have setup a different brand of sensor in the past using the manual which was quite hard.
Running HS3PRO on PC with Z-Wave / OpenTherm / Plugwise / RFXcom / MQTT / XAP400 / Logitech Media Server and Squeezelite on PI`s

What i do not understand is how i can read a code in domoticz.
It seems to be usefull, to read the code from different switches. NewKaku need to read them to, remote and switch nead the same id, tells me some one.
Is that option avalibble in domoticz?

The RFXtrx433 receives the protocols listed in chapter 2.2 of the RFXtrx433 User Guide.
These protocols are hard coded in the RFXtrx433 and have to be proven to operate OK. The most important and commodity products are supported.

The protocols supported by Domotics are also documented and the links are on this page: http://sourceforge.net/p/domoticz/wiki/Home/

There are thousands of different sensors and remotes operating at 433.92MHz but only the listed are supported.

In general, if a product is not on the supported list it is not supported!

Domoticz is switching them very very good, with the RFXCOM!!!

Only the code is not to read with the RFX.

I new the code H14 old kaku from a other project, en when i make a switch, give it that code it works perfect.

Is there a option, to "read" only a 433Mhz code in domoticx with the RFXcom?
Like a sniffer ?

old KAKU needs to have the ARC protocol enabled in the RFXtrx433.
If the protocol is not 100% compatible with the ARC protocol the code is not received. In that case undec on will show the non-standard message.

before you ask: undec on messages can not be used by home automation applications because these messages are not checked for validity and your home automation will not run reliable!
