Hey there. First post! Just migrating my OH instance to HA and, to be honest, it’s been pretty easy so far, stuff tends to just “work”, which is great.
Struggling a little bit with the Somfy blinds migration though. In OH i had an RFXTRX433XL and configured all the blinds by getting the “codes” using the rfxmgr tool in Windows. So, right now i’m able to get those codes from my OH instance (examples below). The part i’m struggling with is adding these into HA, i imagine they need to be in a partcular format. Can anyone help me out?
723723.1 Kitchen Blind 1
789516.1 Kitchen Blind 2
Have you looked at either of the available integrations?
Wouldn’t these require some kind of “hub” from Somfy? I don’t have any kind of hub for these blinds, never had.
I don’t know as I don’t own any Somfy devices. I was just pointing you in the direction of the available integrations. It’s up to you to investigate them and decide whether they work for you.
See this document how to add Somfy with the RFXtrx433XL in HA using the RFXCOM integration:
The newer RFX-433EMC can use MQTT and much easier to use with HA.
If any question about this contact support rfxcom.com
@b_weijenberg That was very helpful, thank you so much! Found out what the issue was, those Device ID’s I’d provided were taken directly from OH and were in decimal format, which was incorrect. They needed to be in Hex. So, based on 1 of the examples i provided (723723.1 Kitchen Blind 1);
723723 is B0B0B Hex
So, in RFXmngr i went to the RFY tab and entered the Hex value as the ID
When i transmitted this using RFXmngr it gave me output (cannot paste the image here, since i’m only allowed one image as a new user) which contained a HA Code, 0C1A00060B0B0B010000000000
Pasted this as me “new” device and “boom”, blind is working. Hopefully this might help someone else if they come across the problem.
Thanks again
