Elero USB Transmitter to control Elero and Weinor products

Feature Requests
223

I did a little try and error and it’s still a little bit strange… Until now I’m not able to identify the device itself but If I add an role shutter they will be found (so final I am able to use the role shutters)…

Thanks so far

224

I was not looking for the device itself. In the device list you only see the hacs integration.
Also I added my roller shutters. But it is working!
Good luck further on!

225

Does anyone know If this this stick is also supported?

Was it possible to find out from the documentation whether the devices use the Easywave protocol?

I think the transmitters shown above are quite expensive.

226

This seems to be a rebranded Eldat RX09 transceiver. The Elero blinds use a completely different protocol, that’s unrelated. The stick shown here lets the Elero Centero (which is a rebranded Mediola Gateway) control Easywave devices.

The stick itself is supported by an add-on: New add-on to add support for Easywave devices

Just a short fyi: I’ve started an ESPHome project to control Elero blinds as a cheaper (and available) alternative to the USB transmitter. All you need is an ESP32 (ESP8266 untested) with a CC1101 module. You can find my code at GitHub - andyboeh/esphome-elero

My code is heavily based on the two projects already linked:

The protocol I sniffed from my remote (TempoTel 2) is slighty different than the one in the mentioned projects, so about every aspect of the protocol is configurable.

Hi, I am new to Elero devices. I just discovered that my blinds where using the Elero protocol, but I don’t know more. I made a post about them here : Elero L1 blinds : How can I control them from HA? . As of today, what would be the best way to control them from HA ? What device would I need to buy ? I would like, if possible, to avoid any soldering but if there is no other option I could consider it. Is there an USB transmitter that could work with Elero ?

Thanks in advance for any answer and have a good day

229

I ordered this hardware as described in this link. But how are the two components to be connected?

230

However you like - a suggestion is provided in the example config file:

SCK: GPIO18
MISO: GPIO19
MOSI: GPIO23
GDO0: GPIO26
CSN: GPIO5

and of course VCC and GND.

231

There are no Pins GPI018, GPI019 and GPI023 at my board?

232

Then you will have to use different pins, as long as they support the required operation (i.e. Input or Input/Output) nearly all will work.

I have the same board, I send you my pinout when I get home.

233

As promised, this is my WT32-ETH01 configuration. As you can see, I use the pins:

SCK: GPIO33
MOSI: GPIO14
MISO: GPIO39
GDO0: GPIO32
CSN: GPIO12

And the complete config:

ethernet:

  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18

@andyboeh - thanks for your great work. I have a question regarding your esphome-elero project. I have a Weinor awning with a 868,3 MHz remote control.
Do you think it would be possible to control it via a WT32-ETH01 + 868MHz CC1101 module? I wonder how I would be able to get the needed values?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

235

I do not know anything about Weinor products.

236

my hardware and ESP file is now running…but I don’t understand how I am getting the blind address and other values… I saw your description at github, but can you please explain step 1 in detail with the TempoTel2?

237

There is nothing to detail. Use the TempoTel2 to select any blind and keep an eye on the log file (you can also move a blind, it really doesn’t matter). If nothing appears, something is wrong.

238

In the yaml file I added this line:

# Enable logging
logger: 
  level: VERY_VERBOSE

Then I startet to move a blind via TempoTel2 and afterthat I downloaded the logfile.
but there is only:

Please post your complete YAML file and do not touch the log level - the default of DEBUG is fine, VERY_VERBOSE is way too much.

And what do you mean by “you downloaded the log file”? You need live access to the log, either via serial console or one of the web management solutions, but you need to check immediately what a button press triggered.

240

In the install window of the yaml file (ESPHome Addon in Home Assistant), I understand this is a live view of dthe log (and there is the button download logs) > is this the wrong access? (alternative: ESPHome > Logs)

or is a view to the log via wireless not possible?

242

That looks about right.

  • What is logged if you press any of the command buttons on your remote?
    • If there is no output, then either the frequency or the cabling is wrong
  • What is logged if you press any of the command buttons in ESPHome/Home Assistant?
    • If there are error messages, your cabling is wrong or the CC1101 doesn’t work.
