Dual Rflinks

@Bakko65

I don’t have the config now, but I think I did something like this:

#RFlink gateway
rflink:
port: /dev/ttyACM0
port: /dev/ttyUSB1

thanks, I have tried it but it didn’t work.
Hopefully Jeroen will figuring something out.
My python is zero and just started with HA.

10

Did you get an error message, did it not receive anything or what happend?

11

I have been in touch with the original developer, it seems doable.

12

I get a lot of python messages. My friend Google could not help me :thinking: Also the database got corrupt.

13

hi Jeroen,
Thanks for doing this.

Hi Guys

Hs anyone figured this out yet?

I have 433Mhz for most of my sesnor etc but need 868Mhz for some new heaters

I have both a RFlink 443 and 868 devices

My only thought is to do this via a MQTT gateway of sorts rather than direct into Hassio

15

I’m using a Mqtt gateway for my 868 MHz Rflink, works good. It’s just a rather simple python script that reads the USB serial port, creates a json message and sends it to a Mqtt broker.

16

All, I am having trouble completing the code for dual RFLink support. Is anyone willing and able to help? Here is the latest version that I made with help of the original dev (who is no longer active in the HA community). https://github.com/jeroenterheerdt/home-assistant/tree/rflink

Hello, anyone got this to work. I just bought a 868 rflink and thought it would work out of the box. just add and go! but that is not the way. google doesn’t help me in any way. I know i’m a noob.

well use RFlink with MQTT https://github.com/dmartinpro/RFLinkGateway
Even better use a esp8266 controll it :slight_smile: https://github.com/seb821/espRFLinkMQTT

Did someone got this working with rflink.py?

I did duplicate it and made a custom rflink but it can only receive data.
I’m not able to put the lights out, at least not with second rflink device :slight_smile:

20

I have tried the esp8266 solution but it seemd to be unstable.

I found a similar python script to that of dmartinpro. This has been stable for several weeks without problems. Only switching multiple RFLink devices at the same time causes problems, but these can be solved with a short timeout.

21

Sounds great! Do you have any link to this script? :wink:

22

Sure; https://github.com/Iture/RFLinkGateway

hi, I started looking at this again, after having a break. Where do I need to place the files? I cant see to find out where to put them. no where it has been written. I tried to add them to a folder RFLinkGateway in custom_components but I think this is nok. :slight_smile:

Hi Hilko,

I haven’t tried this myself yet but I’ll try it during the weekend.

This is not a homeassistant add-on, you need a folder with all the files from github and run RFlinkGateway.py to start it after configuring.

Than all rflink commands will be send an received by mqtt for the configered device. Home assistant normally automatically picks up on new devices who communicate over MQTT. But not sure how and if that will work with this rflink to mqtt gateway, one way to find out I suppose :slight_smile:

Hi Robin,

Thanx for the reply. I’m curious if youll get it to work. I stopped trying again. Also because I can’t seem to get a grip on mqtt. But I need to really sit down for it. :slight_smile:.

Hi all, I have a RFLink on 433,42 frequency to drive my Somfy covers. Everything is working perfectly with rflink integration.

I’d like to domotise my Came portal with a dry DiO contact on 433,92 frequency.

It seems that the rflink does NOT support several RFLink box attached directly to USB.

Is it difficult to add this kind of support onto the rflink module ?

27

I don’t know if it is very difficult to implement, but I can control without problem some 433,92MHz devices with a 433,42MHz RFLink

  • Trust AWMD-250 Dimmer (like the KAKU)
  • Aukey plugs
  • Sonoff RF

I think you can risk trying before putting on another RFLink.
