Post by WinuX »

How can I receive of transmit a signal to a Kaku doorbell with a learn button, inside RFXman.
I can't find the automatic code for the doorbell.

Thnx!

In RFXmngr:
Select Type = AC on the Lighting2 tab
Select a random ID number <> zero
push the learn button on the KAKU doorbell,
Transmit an On command.

The KAKU is now paired with the ID/Unit selected.

If pairing is not possible, reset the KAKU and retry

Thnx you very much!

It works. Can I do every KaKu device with the learn button, this way?
I will need to change the id for another device?

The selection is made by the ID and the Unit number.
So you can select up to 16 units using the same ID.

The ID can have a number from 1 to 67.108.863
You can install a total off 67.108.863 * 16 = 1.073.741.808 KAKU's ;-)

For a KAKU transmitter (remote/wall switch/doorbell button)
The KAKU address code must be saved in the domotica application so that action can be triggered on a command (on/off) received from this KAKU transmitter.

For a KAKU receiver (lamp module/chime) :
The address code is saved in the KAKU and to control the domotica application has to use this address code to control this KAKU.

Which KaKu doorbell do you have ? I have problems with the ACDB-6500AC and the motion sensor AWST-6000. I have seen the doorbell a few times within HomeSeer/Rfxmngr, and the motion sensor never ?
