"Phantom devices"

[Richel]

I have just noticed that my RFXCOM (v. 30.0.0.33) running on HS3 (v. 3.0.0.297 Windows 10) is finding lots of sensors that do not exist. They are all listed as "RFXSensor[xxxxx]_RFX Temperature Sensor" that I don't have. I decided to add them to see what happens and to clear the list of sensors, but more are found. The ones that I have added all show up with assigned addresses and they update occasionally. Of the six I have created, so far, 2 show "Communication Failure," but the rest (4) show "32 deg. F." Anyone else have this issue? Thanks. Elliott

Are these sensors received by the RFXrec433 or the old RFXCOM receiver? You can check this in the HS log, enable receiver debug level 2 on the RFXCOM - General config page.

If you receive these from the old receiver have you enabled 32bits which should not be selected for an RFXCOM receiver.

Thanks. PM has been sent. Elliott

Disable OS for X_REC[1]Q and X_REC[2]Q because Oregon sensors are not received by the W800.

The W800 receives many bad packets. These entries in the log are from a W800:
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 2048200021
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 208000001A
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 2050000014
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 20A0000038
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 200000000A
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 2048000010
Dec-29 20:34:08 RFXCOM 33 (RecRxChar) Unknown packet: 2090000043

It can happen that such a bad packet has a correct format for an RFXSensor and is decoded as such.

Thank you very much! Elliott
