rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/message 20;A5;NewKaku;ID=010af15e;SWITCH=1;CMD=OFF;

rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/CMD OFF

rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/CMD ON
rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/SWITCH 1

this item will not work:

Switch Inter_ON "Inter_ON" {mqtt=">[mosquitto:rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/CMD:command:ON:1],>[mosquitto:rflink/NewKaku/010af15e/R/CMD:command:OFF:0]" }

I’m new and I have the same problem. Receiving works, but I can’t send anything using mqtt. Is transmitting supported?

hope for a OH-binding.
on the Homepage of RFLINK
http://www.rflink.nl/blog2/links
you see a link to an old binding-source code.

Unfortunately this binding dont work.

hope in the next time OH2 have a better solution as this
python script.

Why did you say this binding doesn’t work ? Cyril is working on it and tell us he finally gave us a jar file this week-end if he can.

noxx · January 14, 2018, 4:16pm

sry, perhaps wrong words.

at the moment the binding doesnt work

Guys, did you read read.me to the end?
There is another topic for writing. I use it especially for radio controlled power sockets :).

Every change should be published to topic: [mqtt_prefix]/[device_type]/[device_id]/W/[switch_ID]
/data/RFLINK/TriState/8556a8/W/1 ON

Thanks, I will check it after work. Please change readme.md:

Output data
Application pushes informations to MQTT broker in following format: [mqtt_prefix]/[device_type]/[device_id]/R/[parameter]

to

It confused me

Hey guys,
everyone interested in the binding, I compiled a fresh new version for OH 2.2.
Just drop the jar in /usr/share/openhab2/addons and restart Openhab.

It can be found here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ofEXq7ygx_sXcgOt4tz3DYK4FxBkRJF_

Enjoy.

Did you consider to bring it into the eclipse marketplace?

dakipro · March 20, 2018, 10:46pm

It would be great if it is available trough marketplace @hExPY , please ?

hExPY · March 29, 2018, 9:59am

Hey @dakipro i also like to have it distributed by marketplace. Sadly i’am not a member of the core development team and also don’t have any experience in releasing bindings trough marketplace. It would be great if you could set up an issue at github.

dakipro · March 29, 2018, 6:29pm

@hExPY I guess I could do that, but the link mentioned above says that it is very easy to do via Pull Request. I am basically just a (very happy) user of openHab, never done much contributing, especially the code wise, but I guess you can make a pull request that includes your code (you as you know/wrote the code, so it makes most sense ) and those who have access to it will certainly go over the code and either suggest some improvements or just make it available (or provide instructions on further actions).
I noticed that people here love contributors, so I guess you will become a rockstar soon

Ninjax · May 22, 2018, 11:07am

It is works why the version openhab 2.3 ?

Ninjax · May 28, 2018, 8:50pm

Up please,
Could someone super nice give me the procedure to follow to install the binding rflink in manual. I can not find it in the binding menu.

Thanks

Josar · May 28, 2018, 11:28pm

Just copy the jar from the link and put it in the folder /usr/share/openhab2/addons and restart Openhab. But I don’t know if it will work for 2.3.

Ninjax · May 29, 2018, 8:17am

I use the latest version 2.4 of openhab because it is the only version that works with my xiaomi gateway.

A big thank you for your answer, I had already done but it still does not work. I do not see the binding rflink appear in the binding menu of the paper UI.
Or is there another way to use?

hExPY · June 4, 2018, 1:17pm

It works for 2.3. I dont know if it works for 2.4 because i did’nt upgraded yet. Gonna give it a try this week.

DQX · June 18, 2018, 7:08pm

Anyone that can’t or doesn’t want to connect the RFLink through the serial port, I have updated a homie-on-esp based RFLink to MQTT bridge that works pretty well for my usage. (I have the RFLink central in the house whereas openhab server is tucked away in a corner).

Doesn’t play nice with BLE though, still have to have a look into that.

cybix32 · June 19, 2018, 9:48pm

I think I had the same problem. If I went to the karaf-console I could see the binding loaded but not active. Turned out that you need a prerequisite (thats normally automatic but not if you install it like this), “OpenHAB serial” before you could activate it in karaf.

If you use this commande in the karaf-console you will install this:
feature:install openhab-transport-serial

After that the binding showed and I got it to work (running 2.4.0.201806152142)
