Difference RFXmitter and the "normal" Transmitter?

Post by **ravensteijn** » Fri May 08, 2009 11:18 am

maybe this question is answered already but what is het difference between:
-RFXmitter and the "normal" transmitter?

the only thing i see is no HomeEasy EU support.

why does the rfxmitter only supports Homeseer plugin and no other programs? the normal transmitter does support other programs. am i correct?

thanks

The RFXmitter supports in addition to the standard transmitter the following protocols:
HomeEasy EU,
Ikea Koppla,
Flamingo,
ATI Remote,
Robocam/Ninja.

The RFXmitter is supported by the Homeseer RFXCOM plugin and xPL.

thank you for the quick answer.

so if i want to use an other program then homeseer i need the standard transmitter and if i want to use homeseer i need the rfxmitter?

the standard transmitter can't communicate with homeseer plugin?

So i can't switch software in time if i choose one of these transmitters?

i'm sorry for all these questions but it;s not clear for me.

The standard transmitter can also be used by the Homeseer RFXCOM plugin.

Bert,

will there be support for the RFXmitter in other software? Or is development of such software limited by an NDA? (Which rules out a language like perl that I am using).

RFXmitter protocols are delivered under NDA.

Other software can use the standard transmitter using the X10 protocol to control all devices.

How can I determine the UK or EU model for HomeEasy if I buy it online? I would like to develop it using perl/linux for UK version with the standard transmitter.
