@MickVanGool ;

There is an Aldi app available, doesn't that work?  

Oh misread you bought kaku at Aldi, not the Aldi devices ...  Sorry ..

I have bought a set of kaku devices at Aldi , the number on the remote is SN5555 and AA48/16B.
Homey will not connect using any of the examples in the klikaanklikuit app.
Can you add support for these in the app or is there a way to connect to any kaku device by letting Homey recognise the remote signal?
Also my old Philips devices SBC SR 315 are not recognised. Can you also look into that?

Mick, 
KaKu stands for KlikAan KlikUit, a brand of sockets and switches. 
It doesn't matter where you buy them, Kaku is always the same, although they changed protocol and coding once several years ago. (So only real old one's maybe behave different.)

I guess you bought sockets of an other brand at the Aldi? 
Some shops change assortment like I change socks... ;-)
 
Look in the Appstore for your brand/store https://apps.athom.com/search?categories=lights&title=Lights 
Are your sockets Quigg, use the Aldi App!
if they changed, try others like Blokker, Hema, Elro, HomeEasy, and Action (they sold already 3 types) there is a chance it works if they re-branded other products! 

If they don't work you could ask Athom or someone in the community if they can make an App, but don't expect anything, maybe the cheap sockets have a very different frequency and are not good controllable by Homey.
In that case: buy something where already is an App for and are many users using it, prevents a lot of frustration ;-)

The Philips, is it this one?

I cant find much about it, don't know frequency or is it Infrared?
don't recognize the system it belongs to, haven't seen anybody asking for it before....

MickVanGool

No, that is another device

Thanks for your information, I bought a cheap set at Action and managed to get the sockets recognised by Homey as one of the sets in the klikaanklikuit app.

I thought so Seeing that set, I wonder if Philips developed KaKu?

I tried to pair the TMT-502 (The older version of the ATMT-502), but it was not in the list of KaKu devices.
I created a github issue for this. https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/1193

Note: I tried to pair the TMT-502 by selecting Kaku device YCT-102. I was able to use the ON&OFF commands of the first 4 Units(= like buttons). But no response on units 5 to and including 16. Seems like unit 5 is not Channel 2 button 1, but channel 3 button 1. Unit 9 is channel 2, button 1. Unit 13 is channel 4, button 1. So the the YCT-102 can be mapped to the TMT-502.
This is a workaround, but not like it should be.
