Good evening, I need some help to get my RFXCom running with node-red-contrib-rfxcom 2.12.1 The RFXCom is connected via USB and when I consult dmesg it looks fine: [1468387.729015] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialN umber=3 [1468387.729031] usb 1-…

Great help Max, I can switch on/off the device now :+1: but there is another thing, I don't see debug messages in the debug pane? [image] [image]

Have you turned on the correct protocols in your RFX device? Been a long time since I touched mine but I remember that I had to make sure that the protocols I was interested in were turned on because some of the protocols interfered with each other and would not work together.

Thank you, Yes I did, I first had the RFXcom connected to my Windows pc and only activated in RFXmngr the protocols I'm using.

And did you check in the Windows app that you were getting data from your devices?

Yes, the switch is working well in Windows. I don't know if it is possible but it would be nice if I could monitor the usbport or use commandline options for the RFXCom to check.

You should be able to use Minicom or similar to monitor the port but serial port access is generally exclusive so unless you are using a sharable port driver, you will probably have to close Node-RED to do so. I must admit that I rarely give any thought to my RFX nodes as they generally just work B…

That's interesting, I thought I would use MQTT too. I'm trying to analyze your flow but I don't fully understand it yet. You use switches to filter known and unknown devices and then this data is available via MQTT? So that's the receiving end and I think there is much more after the link nodes …

[image] maru: but I don't fully understand it yet Can't blame you! I have to read it multiple times to remember what it does as well. :rofl: Basically, it listens for inputs from all the different input nodes, standardises some of the input data [image] Then passes to a couple of separate…

[image] maru: So that's the receiving end and I think there is much more after the link nodes Well yes, since I use some old lightwave remotes to switch things that might be on WiFi or Zigbee (Not using any of the old Lightwave smartplugs any more). But the reason for using MQTT is to decoupl…

Thank you Julian for all the effort and information you have provided here. I'm starting to understand your setup. I thought I would start with the simple flow (like example 2) and publish an Off command with MQTT explorer, but that's where things go wrong. [image] flows (4).json (2.9 KB) What …

I'm afraid that I've never used that node, I don't have any of those devices. I think that it means you have to define the data property with hex data that the device expects to receive?
