    I would need to remote to capture and reproduce or a capture via https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433.
  • mwolfsmwolfs Member
    @RamonBaas Thanks for your reply. I currently don't see the capture on https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433 but I submit a request and see if I get a response.

    I've just made some updates for the new Homey firmware. Anybody wants to give it a go and see if it works? Preferably with --run to get debug output.

    Hello RamonBaas,

    Thanks for the github, only my G6R-HT4 won't work...

    Do you have a solution?

    thank you in advance!
  • RamonBaasRamonBaas Member
    @BenvMaanen Thanks for testing! My remote is a G6R-H4T1 - and that one works for me. If you have a G6R-H4T5, I've just made some fixes to the code that might make those work. At least it now seems to work for @TedTolboom who has a G6R-H4T5.

    If not, can you contact me on Slack?
  • TedTolboomTedTolboom Member
    I can confirm that, after some additional testing, the latest version is working for the G6R-H4T5!
    Great work @RamonBaas

    Hi gents, Im completely new to the homey experience and find it very exiting! The problem is that id do not understand how the GitHub stuff works? I have a Bellfire fire place and would like to use it with Homey my remote is a Mertik Maxitrol B6R-H8TL3W 868Mhz. Could I use you app?? It would be brilliant!!

    THNX 
  • RamonBaasRamonBaas Member
    Unfortunately the current app only works for 433 MHz remotes, not 868 MHz.

    Would it be possible to share the rf code for the G6R-H4T5 please? I have a G6R-H4T5-GA and I'm trying to use an RF learning device but it won't pick up the signal, I can directly input it if you are able to share it?
  • RamonBaasRamonBaas Member
    Not sure what you are looking for with 'rf code'. The signal definition is in the `app.json` in the GitHub repository.

    Ah, I see the signals located in: https://github.com/nlrb/com.mertik.maxitrol/blob/master/app.json

    What I meant by 'rf code' was in the Espurna software it asks for an 18 character code, I appreciate that's not your problem so I'll see if I can sort that myself. One question though, there seems to be an array of two signals, but there's three different capabilities, are they linked at all?

    Great addition,

    Installed the application successfully on Homey Firmware Version: 1.5.6-rc.7, works fine.
    some feedback:
    • Some glitches within the iOS App. (Somehow, sometime the graphics get distorted while using the controls)
    • Using the beautifully made "add device"/"fireplace remote" interface, more then one fireplaces where added.
    @RamonBaas: Great work, I was searching how to connect my fireplace for a while and stumbled on this topic. I'm trilled not having to try to program this myself. Is this development App planned for main distribution via the App store in the future?

    If you would like to have more specific and detailed feedback, I would gladly give some details on Slack or GitHub



  • RamonBaasRamonBaas Member
    @Kallb123 There is just one signal definition, with 2 words (the '0' and '1'). The number of capabilities are not linked to that.

    @Bloke Good to hear that it is working for you. To be able to submit it to the app store I would first have to rewrite it to SDK v2. Too many things to do...
  • JustjomiJustjomi Member
    Great app and good example for the connected home.  I would like to wait for the App Store release, maybe someone else can help to rewrite it to SDK v2?
  • ArrowsArrows Member
    Is there any update on using the Mertik Maxitrol 868MHZ RF remotes with Homey?
  • jacco13bjacco13b Member
     I have installed the app https://github.com/nlrb/com.mertik.maxitrol and tested with the Mertik Maxitrol G6R-H4T. Unfortunately this remote control is not found.

    @RamonBaas ;Is there a possibility that this remote control is supported? 


  • RamonBaasRamonBaas Member
    This is just because of the Homey issues with 433 Mhz, see https://github.com/athombv/homey/issues/2075.
