I have no idea to get this into a raw data file as mentioned in the documentation (link, page 50). Nowhere a ‘0’ (single packet) or large number (gap).

Is there someone who can read this and give me a hint on howto use this as raw data to transmit?

It is not a rolling code. The numbers are the pulse timing in usec and it is normal they differ a little.
Contact support rfxcom.com for assistance how to create the RAW data file.

Thanks b_weijenberg. Glad this is not rolling code. Thereby there is hope to get it working, right.
I send the code to frxcom.com.

@CreatoX Did you manage to sent RAW packages with HA via RFX? Want to do the same with my fireplace.

Hi Geeforce,

Yes. The codes are extracted from the remote and will be implemented into the next RFXCOM XL firmware the next release.
You can then use this codes with HA. It would be great to have this integrated into the RFXCOM integration… but I do not know how this works.

If you have the same remote as I do (Gazco), then there is one thing to know.
The settings for the flames and other leds in the fireplace are seperate from the heater settings. My fireplace will stop heating when there is nog signal in 15 min. That is why the semote sends a signal every minute when the heater must be on.
So do not use the remote and rfxcom together to prevent the one turing the heater on and the other turning it off again.

I will make a schema of the different code settings and what they do. I shall post this later.

Thank you for your reply. How do you know about the new firmware? I sent an email to the maker of the RFXCOM 2 days ago and he didn’t mention about that.

I am using an other fireplace/remote. The one I have is for a dimplex cambridge deluxe. With just 2 buttons. On the turn it on and the other to turn it of. When you press the On button again, it starts to heat at 1000W, and again 2000W. Thats it.

With my Veraedge, you could easy sent the the RAW code in LUA. So far, no luck with HA.

I guess you keep checking their website and the blog for the new FW. (http://blog.rfxcom.com/)
But I do not think your fireplace will work with the implemented one I have.

There was a special signal from my Gazco remote which could not be captured by the RFXCOM. Because the RAW signals where incorrect, I never used this approach. Now the correct codes are build into the new FW, I do not have to.
But when you can use your RAW codes in LUA, then I guess it must also work in HA.

I had great support from RFXCOM getting this to work.

I had contact with RFXCOM support. XL supports RAW, but they can’t help me how to sent RAW codes with HA. There is no knowledge at their site about that.

So hopefully someone here knows how to sent RAW codes…

Still not possible to sent RAW codes via HA?

Did you get anywhere with controlling your fire with HA ?
