Promax support about rc-switch

[fingolfin]

The extra symbols are weird -- it looks like the string returned by bin2tristate was not properly null terminated.

Anyway: How do you transmit the codes, exactly? Using RCSwitch, or using custom code? If using RCSwitch, how exactly?

Hi,

I've it currently working with a small work around.,
the remote sends multiple signals, 24 bit and 28 bit.
I've tried all buttons on the remote and multiple tools/ lib to sniff but without success.

when i send from the remote it looks the same as yours but without those weird symbols at tristate:

signal from remote:
Decimal: 1048853
(24Bit) Binary: 000100000000000100010101
Tri-State: 0F00000F0FFF
PulseLength: 314 microseconds
Protocol: 1
Raw data: 1103337,328,31,2170,198,46,5,8,6,7,390,254,1030,254,1035,249,1035,249,1031,253,1030,254,1036,248,1049,235,1032,253,1028,256,1035,249,1030,894,393,251,1035,249,1030,254,1038,887,393,251,1033,891,395,249,1034,

then I came across a post on a dutch forum with these codes for the Promax switch set,
when these codes are transmitted with pimatic it gives different results in RCswitch.

transmitted with pimatic

pule length: 222, 438, 952, 5028

put a unit in learning mode an try the decimals from the code.
code I used.

/*

some extra decimals

*/

#include <RCSwitch.h>

RCSwitch mySwitch = RCSwitch();

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);

  // Transmitter is connected to Arduino Pin #10  
  mySwitch.enableTransmit(10);

  // Optional set pulse length.
  mySwitch.setPulseLength(470);

  // Optional set protocol (default is 1, will work for most outlets)
  mySwitch.setProtocol(2);

  // Optional set number of transmission repetitions.
  // mySwitch.setRepeatTransmit(15);

}

void loop() {


  /* Same switch as above, but using decimal code */
  mySwitch.send(40410462, 28); // turn A on
  delay(1000);  
  mySwitch.send(39172218, 28); // turn A off
  delay(1000);  

  delay(20000);
}

ps: srry for my english ;)

Nvm with latest version i am receiving the propper decimals 👍 so it does support promax.

Hey S Knop / KoenWijnstok,

Im currently working on the same thing. Connecting a Pi3 through RC Switch with a cheap china 433mhz TX/RX. Also bought the Action PROMAX (FA500S).

When using the Receive_Advanced demo Im getting good results.
What do I need to configure to send proper code to the Promax?
