Tri-State for remote control outlet switches

oleksiikutuzov · August 15, 2022, 6:03pm

As I understand, it is quite popular protocol for such switches. This ones seem to have some explanations and be useful

interesting signal. I have not seen this yet)

and sorry, but this is a different protocol, not the one to which you gave links (… there are 32 bits in place 24 and the message form is different. but this does not mean that everything is lost)

oleksiikutuzov · August 18, 2022, 9:45pm

Yes, right, it’s not a Tri-State protocol. But I think the last link has this one — Protokolltyp II: PPM 32 Bit. Funksteckdosen mit dem Raspberry PI steuern – Seegel Systeme

28th bit controls on/off and last 4 bits define the channel, which looks correct for this signal

I don’t know, it doesn’t fit either. I already did this yesterday…

Check

oleksiikutuzov · August 19, 2022, 9:27am

This actually seems to be working fine, thanks a lot! I tried different channels and for all, works good

The only thing that would also be good to add is to have them in Add manually menu. Those outlets can learn codes, you just need to send the signal during first couple seconds when you plug the outlet in. I guess there might be a problem with on/off commands for Add manually, but this can be edited afterward if you know how, right?

how does transmission work? sockets turn on or off?

oleksiikutuzov · August 19, 2022, 10:43am

Yeah, sorry, forgot to say that it is also for transmission. Works as intended. If you send command with on bit, it turns on. If you send command with off bit, it turns off

Good

this protocol also supports dimming. if you have such a remote, I need a signal recording
