[Please support] Remote control for projection screen

powermarcel10

Hello guys,

I've bought a Homey just a week ago. I was thinking that Homey was also able to learn 433Mhz signals just like it can with IR commands. But I'm affraid it can't.

I have a projection screen wich has a remote control wich is using 433Mhz I think. I have bought the screen here:

http://www.elektrisch-gordijn.nl/proluxx-cinemaline-208x188-cm-169-formaat.html

I do really hope that someone can write an app for it, or maybe can tell me how to make it work. I allready have tried some apps like KAKU, to see if it do match the same signal, but I can't get it to work.

Any suggestions are more than welcome!

Cheers,
Marcel

The remote looks like Somfy's. That works on a different frequency but is also supported by Homey (well, at least partly because the manufacturer won't release the specs).

I second this request! I have been tinkering with my homey for about two weeks now, and every device i attempted to connect to has worked except for the prolux projector screen. i have been looking up possibilities to read the rf signals but no luck sofar I hope this can be figured out

Hi Marcel,

I also have bought a projectorscreen at http://www.elektrisch-gordijn.nl last week and have the same question/ request.
The  device unit that communicates with your remotecontrol is the following:

model: CY-801MT 

Input 200V-240V / 50Hz-60Hz 

Frequentie: 315Mhz and 433 Mhz

Wattage: 500W 
This can be found at http://www.uuorder.com/Product/44584936196/
Click on the tab "Product Specifications" to see an image of the instruction manual. This might help to determine the info that you need.

If someone can create an Athom Homey app for this, that would be awesome. Please let us know.

What you also can do, is to replace the CY-801MTunit  and replace it with a "KLIKAANKLIKUIT® jalouzieschakelaar ASUN-650" then you can use the KLIKAANKLIKUIT app for the Athom Homey. Just make sure that you connect the correct wires in the correct slots of the ASUN-650.

The cheapest ASUN-650 that I found is at Hornbach for € 28,50

Anyone found a solution allready?

@powermarcel10
Did you already find a solution for this? I am also eagerly waiting for a solution.

When you open the covers and remove the print board from  the remote of the Proluxx screen, then you will see that it does not use a 433MHZ , but it uses a 315 MHZ. (see right top corner highlighted with black ink dot)
So I guess it never will work if you use tha Athom Homey 433mhz signal.

For what it's worth , i have bought the ASUN 650 as suggested by rowgee, and it works like a charm!

with some tinkering i found that my proscreen switches at 230v so i was able to use the standard wiring schematic, it works perfectly, thereis no seperate 'stop' button , but pushing the same button twice has the same effect, and since control of the asun50 is possible with homne , i have been able to integrate the screen into workflows.

Thanks to rowgee for the suggest , it cost me twenty bucks and an hour setting up and testing the wiring, and i now have the functionality i hoped to have with homey

Wow! That sounds awesome! However, I have no idea how to fix this kind of stuff as I'm not really good with electronics..

Can you sent me a picture of the system so I can build it myself? I would be very awesome to get this done..

HeyHomey

My remote looks the same but inside is diffrent but does use 433mhz, it did works with rfxcom, I still doe not have native control of it but wit my old system and rfxcom it does work without mods or buying other hardware.
