RfxTrx433 & MDREMOTE Problem/Bug

Post by kylegordon »

Hi all,

I have an RfxTrx433 on fw71, and all seems to be well except the MDRemote support. The user manual indicates that the unique ID is the second and third byte, which can be obtained by using Undec On and X10.

Now, I've picked up 2046BD01FA and 202D41016D from my two remotes, but when using the Lighting5 tab in RFXMgr v11.0.0.11 I can try all I like, but it never transmits anything that the receiver responds to. I can only imagine this is because the first byte is greyed out and preset to 00, which results in this being transmitted instead "Lighting5 command:0A 14 03 1A 00 46 BD 01 04 00 00"

Is there a way of changing the first byte or testing in a different fashion? Is it a bug?

Regards

Kyle

MDRemote has only 2 ID bytes

Your command Lighting5 command:0A 14 03 1A 00 46 BD 01 04 00 00 is a 100% command
The first command to use is the Power command to toggle the MDRemote power on/off

Yup, you're right. I have no idea what was wrong with my test setup then. Took it all apart, and rewired it, and things start working as intended. Maybe I was low on coffee :-)

Thanks for your time, Bert
