i try to switch my Intertechno Power Plugs (IT 1500) with OpenHAB. (openhabian)
Please help me to get it to work - i am using this CC1101 with 464 MHz.
installed my selfmade CUL Stick with this tutorial:
did no changes in board.h ( #define HAS_CC1100_433 )

my item ( i found that code in the web, dont know if its correct )
as i understand the page, i should send an ON-value to the plug in the first 5 sec. when i gets plugged in, to get paired with my “item-adress”
but i dont know how to do so…
thanks
EDIT:
i installed “minicom” and edited to “ttyUSB0 - 38400 8N1”
i rebooted openhab
now i get this in my minicom after typing
SHIFT+V
/enter ( CUL Version )
X21
/enter (spoofing)
and pressing the buttons on the remote-control

Since I do not have one of those “moden” switches (mine are >25 years old!), I can’t tell for sure!
I would try it this way:
Create an Item that sends only “ON” code (in order to send a real long ON code by sending more often) using a selfmade code like:
Switch SetUP_OnlyON “SetUP” {culintertechno=“type=raw;address=10101010101010101010101010;commandOn=000011;commandOff=000011”} /* TestSignal to pair the powerplugg last 4bits as if Button4 was pressed*/
After that power-plug is paired that way the following switch should switch the plug ON/OFF
Switch Plug_One “Plug_One” {culintertechno=“type=raw;address=10101010101010101010101010;commandOn=010011;commandOff=000011”} /* Switch that is paired to Plug_One last 4bits as if Button4 was pressed*/
I used the channelID four Button 4, if you pair other plugs with the same starting code and other button codes, you should be able to use the ALL-codes!
PS: It took a while to find an old thread about that and then some real world dropped in.

The string to enter in your serial terminal is:
is01011100110000010111000010000000
The id of your remote control is:
01011100110000010111000010
The group flag is:
0
Your device was set to:
0
The
inside the minicom i can now turn my Plugs ON / OFF with that
ON = "is01011100110000010111000010010000"
OFF = "is01011100110000010111000010000000"
??
The CUL-Stick is working (otherwise you couldn.t have actuate the switch with minicom)
The CUL-Stick is recognised by OH (as of reading the log posted above)
What does the log show when actuating the Cultest4?
[Edit:] Did you close minicom, or even better restart the system after closing minicom. I do remember some problems when doing my testing using “screen”.
but this one isnt working
