Domotiga+RFXtrx 433(USB) & ELRO AB440

[peerke]

Hi,

for a week now, i'm experimenting with Domotiga (on a raspberry Pi + RFXtrx433 USB) so far so good!
Now i want to add my ELRO AB440WDC units

On win7 with RFXmngr i am able to control ELRO AB440WDC units with Lighting4

In lighting4

• the first 5 switches represent the house code
  the second 5 switches represent the unit code
  switch 11 don’t care
  switch 12 is on-off code

e.g 1000010000-0 switches unit 1A on (1=On; A=On; others=Off)
(Lighting4 command:09 13 00 08 15 45 51 01 5E 00)
(Lighting4 command:09 13 00 0A 15 45 51 01 5E 00

e.g 1000010000-1 switches unit 1A off
(Lighting4 command:09 13 00 09 15 45 50 01 5E 00)
(Lighting4 command:09 13 00 0B 15 45 50 01 5E 00)

How do I configure this to a switching device in Domotiga?

Try Lighting1 with switch settings as given in chapter 7.3 http://www.rfxcom.com/Documents/RFXtrx% ... 0Guide.pdf

AB440 with dipswitch setting =1A Works in (win7) RFX mngr with Lighting1: ElroAB400D : HC=I UC=5 : On|Off
(1B<>I3 ; 1C<>I2 )
So this works

Not working! the remote have 5 dips and 7.3 talks about 4 switches. I have tried 1 to 64 on rfxmgr.exe but none works, My Elro flamingo is ab420r.

I have a similar problem I guess (did you ever solve yours?):

I have been trying to get my ELRO AB440 switches to work. They used to work with Domogik (haven't changed the addresses), but now, with the same addresses they do not work.
In the RFX Commander from within DomotiGa (under tools) I am able to switches the lights by using Lighting1, the known address (i.e. F5) and as type of device AB400.
When creating a switching device with those same settings in DomotiGa itself, it doesn't switch. Address format is somewhat unclear to me; I assume F5 should have worked.
I have also tried auto-creating, by pressing the buttons on the AB440R remote, but for some reason it only creates a device if I press the D-off button. Device created is ARC type and has address F16.
Other devices have been created without any problem (KAKU) and several X10 security devices.
What am I missing?

Seems like I solved my own problem by using F05 instead of F5 for the address of my AB440 switch.
