learn homey any 433mhz remote signal

Gderckx

Hi there,

I received my homey as a beta somewhere before last summer, as there were too many bugs and issues then (speech for example did not work at all) I put it back in the box and decided to wait some longer before I started to use it.

One thing I noticed back then was that I wasn't able to learn Homey any kind of 433mhz signal like I expected, but unfortunately I do not see how I am able to learn Homey this by now. I have updated homey toV 10 yesterday.

Two examples:

- all of my lights in house are controlled by a Elro Home Easy system with this remote:                                                        
I tried the Elro app, Action App, Hema App, KAKU app and still I am not able toget it working. The elro app does not seem to support this kind of remote.

I have a Bellfires fireplace with a remote controlled system (433mhz) and there is no app to control that. I would also need homey to putout a signal for about 10 seconds, instead of a single burst.

I need my Somfy blinds to get into the "My" position instead of just up or down. For that I would like to copy the remotes signal as well.

Anyway, is there any possibility to put Homey into some kind of learning mode to pick up any 433mhz signal and just copy it?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to know this as well. I am using 433mhz for SEAV blinds (same as Somfy, other company). Can Homey work with that?

No, Homey can't just listen for 433 signals.
You'll have to start writing an app for that.
If you can't do that then you'll have to wait for a developer to pick this up or when Athom does it for you.

And remember, there is no generic 433mhz signal for Homey to pickup. There are so many different protocols to handle it is not something you can do quickly. Sometimes people reference to rfxcom which can handle a lot of protocols but is also the result of 10 years of development (!)

Athom wrote an interesting blog on 433mhz: https://blog.athom.com/2016/08/07/making-rf-work-433-868-mhz-homey/

@Gderckx ;
regarding your question about the Home Easy, 
I also have the Home Easy stets, some artikels like the HE200EU in your photo are 99% the same as the KAKU ATMT-502..... the difference is the rf modulation. 
using an RFXCOM you have to explicit enable the decoding for HomeEasy as all others work with a more generic modulation / radiocoding. 

The HomeEasy  is still on the ToDo list as I guess, it is still on Trello (https://trello.com/c/o0wS1Z9u/31-homeeasy )

As Others are also asking:

and I still haven't had an concrete answer... except this:

@Dijker Home Easy is om my (very long) to-do list but It might take a while before these are inplemented.

So time for @Annemarie , @DennisH ; , 

I understand the difference between KAKU and all others vs the HomeEasy,  and the priority for the most used brands....

Btu will HomeEasy ever be implemented as an App on Homey?

In my case there is an app called SeavDomu Lite. Does this mean that Homey can handly my screens?

You'll need an Homey app...

Or create one by first figuring out the signals:

But in another thread @gtu@ziggo.nl claimed these were the same as Somfy? Or did I understand wrong?

The same as Somfy I dont know. I do hope so which means I can use Somfy to work with my Seav blinds. My blinds work the same as Somfy but it is not Somfy but it also works at 433 mhz

My problem is that in the beginning i could just add an 433mhz device and my sockets worked. (brand which in not in the appstore)

No i have tried all apps and none work, they recognize the remote i press, but then later fail to switch the socket.

In the early versions these sockets used to work perfectly on some kind of universal 433 mhz signal.

Is there a way ot let homey detect which device is closest to what i have? Or even copy the signal from my remote?
