    • Livolo Wall Switch, 433.92mhz?

      I have my Raspi controller set up with a cheap 433.92mhz RF Tx/Rx pair and it has been working great. I sniffed all the codes for a set of Etekcity smart switches, and they work fine with my system. I next sniffed the codes for some remote light sockets, and they work fine. So I decided to go spend the money on a Livolo Wall Light Switch, glass panel, nice looking, with remote, and advertised as working on 433.92mhz. Wired it up, remote works fine, but when I try and sniff the codes.... nothing 😞

      Has anyone else tried these switches? I thought they were quite popular.

    • RE: Door sensor reed switch delay

      Thanks Theol, following your comment I went back and did some more tests. Opening the sensor for a couple of seconds and closing it again the web interface showed no change. However, when I checked the log it does show the 2 second event.
      So, when you check the log while on vacation it is going to show all the events no matter how quickly someone rushed in the door and closed it.

    • Door sensor reed switch delay

      This is my first attempt at a home automation system. I have a working serial gateway plugged into a Raspi B+ running Domoticz. I have made a couple of door sensors and experimented with a relay. Pretty good so far but there's a significant delay, about 5 seconds on the reed sensor node, between changing state and domoticz registering.

      For example, I open the sensor, 5 seconds later domoticz says it is open. This wouldn't be so bad but it isn't just a delay. If I open the sensor for, say, 3 seconds and close it. Domoticz doesn't show open 5 seconds later, then closed 3 seconds after that. It simply doesn't register at all.

      I don't know about you, but I'm sure that especially on a cold day, I can open the door, enter, and close it within 5 seconds. In which case it would never register.

      Is there any way I could reduce this delay?
