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
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
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?
