Controlling Somfy RTS (with RFXtrx433E)

[Zvika]

Hi.

I’m still planning my smart house, and consider using RFXtrx433E to connect to Somfy RTS (wireless motors).
Currently, I’m reading about openHAB, in order to control all ZWAVE components, and the RFXtrx433E.

Can openHAB (and in which version) do this?

I see that there is an RFXCOM-Binding , however, it talks only about RFXtrx433 and not RFXtrx433 E (only the E device can control Somfy RTS).
Furthermore, Somfy RTS uses a different frequency - 433.42MHz , instead of the regular 433.92MHz, but in the binding page it mentions only 433.92MHz.

However, that page says:
‘RFXCOM binding currently supports:
…
Rfy
’

If I understood correctly, ‘Rfy’ is Somfy RTS - then, it is supported…

Is it only a documentation mistake?
Is anyone here using RFXtrx433E with Somfy RTS and can share the experience?

Thanks,
Zvika

I am currently using the RFXtrx433E with the RFXCom binding on openHAB 2 and it works OK. I cant comment re: Somfy RTS, but am keen to see other feedback as I have future need for this also.

Looks like it is -almost- working, take a look here:

RFXcom binding and Somfy enable sun-wind detector

Recently I bought an RFXCom to communicate to my balcony Somfy motorised sunscreen (6m * 5m). I have used the rollershutter item to declare my sunscreen in the items list and are now able to open and close my sunscreen. With the current setup it is not possible to enable/disable the sun-wind detector and hence the screen sometimes closes when i want it to be open and so on. I can’t find a way to give such a command through the binding because valid values are OPEN/CLOSE/STOP. Would it be possib…
