RFXCom Transciever & HE203 - Setting Dim level
I have a HE203 fitted to a light and wish to switch it with the RFXCOm and Domotiga.
When using the rfx manager software and the AC lighting option to send commands, you can set the level (selectable from 1-16) to set the specific level of the light.
Is it possible to do this from Domotiga in anyway? I've tried setting a second parameter to Level, but all I end up with is the light going through a dimming cycle.
(I need to this to ensure the light switches on - if the light recieves an "On" command twice in succession, it goes into dimming mode where it cycles up and down through the dimming levels until it recieves another "On" command).
Cheers
James

Re: RFXCom Transciever & HE203 - Setting Dim level
Hi, I experienced the same problem with this nice small device. As far as I know it is not "yet" possible to set the dim level for this device, I have as an "inbetween solution" that domotoga now first send an off command to the device and then after it is in the off position, it will send an on command to turn the device on. This works quit good. Since the device remembers the last dim level it will turn on in the same dim level as before. The only drawback is, that when the light is switched on manually, and domotiga performs the called event, the light will be off for a very short moment and returns on. Not ideal but it works.
To get a better system, I am now looking into, having these devices changed with some Fibaro z-wave switches to overcome this problem.

Re: RFXCom Transciever & HE203 - Setting Dim level
HomeEasy can be set to 16 dim levels using the RFXtrx433.
It can be done using the RFXmngr program and it should therefore also be possible to do this in DomotiGa.

I can imagine that Ron could not buy all equipment supported by DomotiGa to test the functionalities.

Re: RFXCom Transciever & HE203 - Setting Dim level
Can you tell me a bit more about which devicetype you choose for that device in Domotiga, the address of device and what exactly happens, and what you see in debug logs, it´s a bit easier for me...
As far as I know you can just send a 'Dim 0-100' command to dim it directly (in code it gets recalculated to 1-16 values)

Hi,
Sorry for the delay - I've been away.
OK - I've gone through a series of tests with both RFXMGR and DOmotiga, and have both logs below.
Test procedure:
1) set light to max brightness using on-on-on switch.
2) turn light off using off switch
- then using either rfxmgr / domotiga "Control" tab:
3) Turn light on using Command "On" / switch on
4) Set brigtness to 8 / 50% using "Set Level" / dim slider
5) set brightness to 16 / 100% using "Set Level" / dim slider
6) turn light off using Command "Off" / switch off
The results for rfxmgr were as expected.
For domotiga control
Step 4) resulted in the light going through a dimming cycle
Step 5) resulted in the light stopping the dimming cycle at whatever level it was at when pressed.

Re: RFXCom Transciever & HE203 - Setting Dim level
I've had another look at this, but not got anyway further.
I've attached a screenshot of the device config - if anyone has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks again Ron.
I've also tried this with the type dropdown for Value1 as Level.
