RFX433 Button Detected, But Not Working

Add-ons Bindings
1

Hi,
I’ve purchased a 1 channel push button (https://www.banggood.com/433Mhz-RF-Wireless-Remote-Control-Switch-Transmitter-With-1-2-3-4-Button-For-Home-Room-Hall-Bedroom-p-1545993.html?gmcCountry=GB&currency=GBP&createTmp=1&utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=cpc_bgs&utm_content=lijing&utm_campaign=ssc-gb-100-all-0819&ID=528396&cur_warehouse=CN#customerQA)

This is detected in RFXManager and generates an event each time (the below shows the result when pressed twice 3 seconds apart):
10/08/2020 02:30:24:085= 08200000E229600259
Packettype = Security1
subtype = X10 security
Sequence nbr = 0
id1-3 = E22960 decimal:14821728
status = Alarm
battery level = OK
Signal level = 5 -80dBm

10/08/2020 02:30:27:263= 08200001E229600259
Packettype = Security1
subtype = X10 security
Sequence nbr = 1
id1-3 = E22960 decimal:14821728
status = Alarm
battery level = OK
Signal level = 5 -80dBm

In OpenHab the button is detected as:
SECURITY1-14821728
RFXCOM Security1 Sensor

The “Thing” is seen as a sub-type “X10 security door/window sensor” (i’ve also tried manually creating the Thing with different sub types)

I create Items for Status, Contact and Motion (i’ve tried all three) and the first time i press the button I get the following in the events log:
2020-08-10 15:31:35.931 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - SECURITY114821728_Status changed from NULL to ALARM
2020-08-10 15:31:35.932 [vent.ItemStateChangedEvent] - SECURITY114821728_Contact changed from NULL to OPEN

All subsequent presses generate no events.

Has anyone successfully managed to get one of these devices to work in OpenHAB?

Thanks,
Richie

Hi,
Perhaps I’m missing how the RFX binding works.
I had thought it would “listen” for RF codes as well as “send”.
However, I’m now suspecting the the OpenHAB RFX binding only has a “learn” and “send”
If that is the case then I’m presuming this binding can only be used to control RF433 devices and not work with a RF433 switch/button or other input device.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Richie

Hi,
Actually I’ve managed to resolve this by only selecting a few “devices” in RFX manager for the Set Mode

Thanks,
