And if your press “Vernieuwen” in the bottom, isn’t there more logging appearing?
23-01-26 14:41:44 INFO (MainThread) [supervisor.hardware.monitor] Detecting HardwareAction.ADD hardware /dev/bus/usb/001/005 - None
That is what I get when I put in the stick.
I have an order running for the RX09 we will see then
Please install the latest version (5.0.2) and check the addon configuration.
Is your usb stick identified as something similar to mine?
I’m running HomeAssistant in VMWare VM with the usb sticks passed-through to the VM.
No, I don’t get Silicon Lab.
I’m running Homeassistant OS on a NUC.
Wil try the virtualbox on my pc
This latest version logs some more information. Here is what it says in debug mode on my setup

[17:20:25.310 INF Easywave2Mqtt.Easywave.EldatRx09Transceiver] Eldat Transceiver detected with identifier 155a:1006
The usb stick answers a GETP? with GETP,80 OK, meaning that it is a version with 128 channels.
And the response to ID? is ID,155a,1006,0100 OK, which is the unique identifier of the stick.
These message are not really used, but are a signal for the addon that the stick is found and working.
FYI: button presses are logged as
[17:28:32.041 DBG Easywave2Mqtt.Easywave.EldatRx09Transceiver] Received REC,2274e4,B
Which means that button B of switch 2274e4 was pressed.
Even if your stick is not compatible, if it is working ok and the addon is reading the right serial port, it should log at least some “Received” lines.
Can you run lsusb and ls /dev/serial/by-id on the console and paste their outputs here?
Its the second device
You have product-id 1006
and Niko has 1005 maybe thats the problem?
Here are the values in Virtualbox also not Parsing to HA
It seems like the Niko stick is indeed not supported by the Linux kernel, even when it seems to have the same SiliconLabs chip, due to the fact it has another device id.
Otherwise the device would have been visible in the serial devices too.
If you are not afraid of recompiling your kernel, you could have a look at [PATCH 4.16 04/31] USB: serial: cp210x: add ELDAT Easywave RX09 id - Greg Kroah-Hartman (kernel.org) that explains the code change that was needed to get the Eldat stick supported. If you add your device id in the device list in that file and recompile your kernel than it might work.
Another option is to have a look at usb - Eldat easywave usbserial device not detected on raspberrypi 3 - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange, that describes thow to get the Eldat stick supported in an older raspberry-pi.
But you are on your own here, I can’t support you with that.
I bought an Eldat 128-channel. I’ll wait on that then.
I recieved the Eldat Stick.
Working like a Charm now.
Now we all know that the Niko Stick is not supported.
Hi, I’m sorry but I have to ask you something again.
I’m using node-red for reading state of the push buttons now.
Do you have an yaml to do this?
Kind regards
Dimitry
I’m afraid I can’t help you with that.
I’m not a HA pro and only use the web gui.
I don’t know node-red either. Isn’t it able to subscribe to the MQTT messages that my addon publishes?
If you add your buttons in the devices configuration section, the addon will publish messages for press, double-press, triple-press, hold & release actions based on the incoming Easywave telegrams the RX09 receives.
I just release version 0.6. This version should solve the need to restart the addon after each HA or Mosquito update. And the state of the Easywave switches is now persisted after restart of the addon.
I am very new to Home Assistant and are trying to get the Eldat USB stick to work and have followed the entire config and the USB is detected by HA and sees when I press any of the 4 buttons on the remote to operate the sunscreen.
Now I want HA to control the sunscreen, but I need some help to set this up.
How can I create a simple button that sends the command to “open” the sunscreen?
For me, as a newby, it seems that there is missing some information to get this going.
Who can help me?
Hi Bollo,
As I said in the response to the mail you sent me, the plugin does not support sunscreens yet, only wall switches and lights. I can try to add support but I’ll need your (or someone else’s help) as I don’t have access to a sunscreen, nor to a sunscreen remote.
I suggest we keep communicating through mail and report back here when there is progression that others can benefit from.
Hi Marcelis, I just received a notification from the forum that there was a reply, hence my late reply.
I’ll send you the requested info tomorrow.
Let’s see/hope that we can make it work 
Dear Marc,
I hope you are well. Almost a year later I come back to your project and I am stuck again at the same spot. Somehow I am just not getting it, I must have a thinking error somewhere. So, please bear with me, this is a looong post. My setup is (in a simple picture):
I am running:
- Easywave2MQTT (v0.7.1)
- HA 11.3 (RX09 USB stick is recognized and working)
What I am trying to achieve: send a command from HA (RX09 USB Stick) to the Roof Window Shutters (Receiver) to open or close it.
My setup files & logs:

Sorry for the endless infos, here is finally my question 
: I have tried to open or close the shutters with Home Assistant using a couple of different codes, such as “TXP,10,A” or “TXP,10,B”. But unsuccessfully, the shutters don’t move at all. If I use the remote control (Transmitter), the shutters work and I can see in the logs that the Transceiver (RX09 USB stick) works and records the commands.
But how do I get the Transceiver to send the right command/code to the shutters (Receiver) so they open or close accordingly? Do you see any mistakes in the setup/configuration? How do I find out what the right commands/codes are that HA needs to send?
Thanks a lot for your help & advice.
Hi,
In the meantime I’ve added support for blinds/shutters with the help of another HA user who had them.
Fixing the config
Your config is not entirely correct, but you’re not that far off.
Your declaration of the remote control seems correct. HA now knows that there is some kind of transmitter in the house that has 3 buttons and can now detect (single/double/triple)-push actions on them and can act upon it.
Your declaration of the shutter has some problems:
- First of all, the
Typeoff your shutter should beBlindto tell Easywave2MQTT and HA that this device is a blind/shutter. - Second, you only need to declare a subscription for one single button (
Ain your case) per address. Easywave2MQTT will smart enough to link buttonB&Cto the same device. (The reason why you need to specify the button is because there are transmitters with more buttons. In case of a transmitter with 6 buttons, you could have buttonA,B&Clinked to shutter 1 and buttonsD,E&Fto shutter 2, so you would putDin the second shutter’s subscription). - The subscription with Address 10, keycode
Aand CanSend=true, is correct. That one will tell HA that if it wants the shutter to open, it should ask Easywave2MQTT to tell the Eldat transmitter to send out a buttonApress on address 10, and if it wants the shutter to close, it should ask Easywave2MQTT to tell the Eldat transmitter to send out a buttonBpress on address 10.
The new config should look something like this. Fix the config, restart the Easywave2MQTT plugin and check the logs for errors.

Nice to meet you Eldat
It’s normal that your shutters don’t react on any actions you do in HA: your blinds do not have any idea that the Eldat stick is talking to them. It’s controller might see the Eldat messages flying by, but it doesn’t know that it has to act on them. As far as it knows these messages are for another device.
You need to manually tell the shutters that there is a new remote control (which is is the Eldat stick). The procedure to do that depends on the shutters and should be mentioned somewhere in the manual.
The other guy that helped doing the modifications had Altron shutters and their procedure was as follows (might work or might not work in your case!!):
- Open the shutters half-way with your old remote.
- Hold the STOP button of your old remote until the shutters confirm with a short up & down movement.
- Within 5 seconds, press and release the UP key and then the DOWN key of your old remote. The shutters will again confirm with a short up and down movement.
- Within 5 seconds press the up key of the new remote, the shutter will acknowledge again.
- Your shutters can now be controlled by both remotes.
The tricky part
As the Eldat stick is the new remote, you’ll need to execute step 4 above from HA, so you’ll need to open the blinds using HA, which in its turn will ask Easywave2MQTT to instruct the Eldat stick to send the button A message on address 10. Once the shutters see that coming in, it will think that the Eldat stick is just another remote and will start acting on its messages.
Closing
I hope this clears things up a bit. Good luck getting them to work.
