Trouble with Nexa (KaKu) and RFXcom transmitter

Post by luria »

I'm having a lot of problems with my Nexa gear since the last upgrade (0.194). I can't switch using the ARC protocol anymore. I'm using NEXA plugin appliance switches which respond to both HE and ARC protocol and NEXA 12v trafodimmers which is ARC exlusively. I can switch the trafodimmers using wall switches (ARC).
2011/02/11 10:55:59 Initialized Transmitter for Handshake usage with => F033F033
2011/02/11 10:55:59 [RFXComTX] ACK=>33
2011/02/11 10:55:59 Version request to transmitter => F030F030
2011/02/11 10:55:59 Transmitter Firmware Version: 15
When I try the ARC prototcol, Domotiga crashes with the follwing error report
[6] Type mismatch: wanted integer, got String instead.
CRFXComTX.KAKU.639
Trying to switch on or off from the RFXcom Commander (ARC/X10) tab yields this log

2011/02/11 11:20:12 [RFXComTX] ACK=>33
But status of the plugin module does not change.


Using the HE protocol with my plugin appliance switches, I seem to be getting the wrong ID from the remote. I'm using the remote and then copying/pasting the address from the log into Domotigas device properties. Trying to turn them on or off from Domotiga, I get an invalid Address error message in the log.
The remote switches the gear on and off, no problem there.

Code: Select all
