RFXCOM win7/win10 OH2.1.0 problem connecting RFXTRX433 offline

Add-ons Bindings
, ,
1

I have installed new version of OH2.1.0 on an win10 machine with java 8u101
(I also have tried on WIN7 )
THe RFXtrx works with the RFXCOM manager software including fetching temperature data but not in openhab.

I have a problem in that I cannot get the RFXTRX433 receiver to work

Sometimes it does not show up in paper ui during discover - sometimes it does after delete.
I tried adding manually with COM7 .

both automatic and manual added have status OFFLINE

I tried to remove the FTDI driver package using powershell

first command
pnputil.exe -e
gives response
Published name : oem69.inf
Driver package provider : FTDI
Class : USB-styrenheter
Driver date and version : 08/16/2017 2.12.28.0
Signer name : Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

Published name : oem70.inf
Driver package provider : FTDI
Class : Portar (COM och LPT)
Driver date and version : 08/16/2017 2.12.28.0
Signer name : Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher

so I try with commands
pnputil.exe -d oem69.inf
pnputil.exe -d oem70.inf
response is
Deleting the driver package failed : at least on unit is installed with the INF-file

I remove the RFXTRX433 and then I am able to delete oem69,inf but not oem.70inf
When I insert RFXtrx433 into USB it seems as drivers are installed again.

is there something I am missing?

some loginfo:

Reason for this error normally is related to operating system native FTDI drivers, which prevent D2XX driver to open device. To solve this problem, uninstall OS FTDI native drivers or add manually universal bridge ‘RFXCOM USB Transceiver’, which use normal serial port driver rather than D2XX.

One should not be tired when reading instructions.:roll_eyes:

Now I set up a manual RFXtrx433 device in PaperUI using the generic RFXCOM device named RFXCOM USB Transceiver.

as in manual…
To do that via the PaperUI, manually add the generic RFXCOM device named RFXCOM USB Transceiver, with the description “This is universal RFXCOM transceiver bridge for manual configuration purposes.”

before I wrongly tried using
"RFXtrx433E USB 433.92MHz Transceiver"

Now I do get automatic disovered temperature devices etc.

My manually created “RFXCOM USB Transceiver” is still listed status offline

and presently my openhab session (from .bat file shuts down al the time - but it is seeing things so improved

I will try to start over with new Openhab setup and see if some errors disappear

I’m having the same problems. I’ve tried new install as well ( 2.3).

I believe the binding might have problems and wondering a new version is being worked on?
