RF integrations in hass

Hardware
1

Dear HASS community,

I’m fairly new to HASS but i’m loving it. I have a RPI3B+ running Hassio on it to control my outdoor lights , fountains, oxygen pumps,… from my pond and garden using the RPi GPIO’s.

Now I feel it time to start integrating some of my indoor components and I would like some advice on how to proceed with this.

1: maybe the easiest one: I have blinds that I would like to integrate and are controlled by a radio transmitter by somfy. I did some research and found that these can be controlled by RFXCOM or by transreceiver (?).

2: can I add my garage door to Hass the same way as the blinds?

3: (optional) I add my heating controller to Hass the same way ?

4: I have led strips in my home that are radio controlled 2.4G RF(dimmer) and click buttons in my house.

The setup is as followed: impulse switch(12V)à transformerà radio controlled dimmeràled’s

Can I use the same RFXCOM or transreceiver to control the dimmer?

And can I control my impulse switch(and check state) in hass. I’ve been reading and found people using adrunio and domotiz to do this

Thanks in advance for your thought and input,

Kind regards

Hi, if it’s a Somfy RTS device, it should be supported by the RFXTRX433E. The 2.4GHz dimmer won’t be though.

A transceiver btw is a conflation of transmitter-receiver, and is a name for any device that can both receive and transmit data. The RFXCom is also a transceiver.

The only alternative I personally know for controlling both 433MHz and 2.4GHz devices with the same setup is the RFLink, although I couldn’t say whether your particular dimmer is supported. It does support MiLight and Ikea Ansluta at least.

The RFLink is not a boxed product though, so you have to build it yourself. Details can be found at: http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/wiring

Hey sedig

Thanks for your reply! Its indeed a MiLight dimmer so that should be covered by the RFlink!

i found a solution for the light dimmer being the milight ibox 3…
but anyone has experience or ideas on the impulse switch and ardunio integration?

cheers

ok so i figured out a way to control my light via a Milight wifi box and i would use an 8channel relay board giving a short pulse to my impluse switches to turn them on and off.

I’m still struggling to find a way to get a readout of the current status of my impuls switch… Anyone has an idea how i could safely check the status of the mains?
