- Issue of the topic: The RFXCOM-Binding is used to control my fire place. The binding offers an Switch-Item which works (turn on/off), but does not recognize other commands (up/down, second flame).
I am using a RFXCOM to control my Somfy-blinds and working on integrating my fire place. Connection between the transceiver and the fire place works. I can turn it on and off using a switch item like described in the manual [1].
Thing-file:
Bridge rfxcom:bridge:usb [ serialPort="/dev/rfxcom", transmitPower="0", transceiverType="433.92MHz", enableMertik=true ] {
Thing thermostat3 kamin [ deviceId="xxxxxx", subType="MERTIK__G6R_H4TB__G6R_H4T__G6R_H4T21_Z22" ]
}
Items-file:
Switch Kamin "Steuerung Kamin" {channel="rfxcom:thermostat3:usb:kamin"}
Nevertheless, the binding seems to offer more control-options like the number of flames (SECOND_ON/SECOND_OFF) and the flame-height (UP/DOWN). I copied part of the source below.
binding-source on github [1, line 59ff.]:
public enum Commands implements ByteEnumWrapper {
OFF(0),
ON(1),
UP(2),
DOWN(3),
RUN_UP(4, MERTIK__G6R_H4T1),
SECOND_OFF(4, MERTIK__G6R_H4TB__G6R_H4T__G6R_H4T21_Z22),
RUN_DOWN(5, MERTIK__G6R_H4T1),
SECOND_ON(5, MERTIK__G6R_H4TB__G6R_H4T__G6R_H4T21_Z22),
STOP(6, MERTIK__G6R_H4T1);
I’m stuck now als switch-items only support ON/OFF. Using a string-item does not solve the problem either.
Any hints?
Kind regards!
