RFXCOM Controlling Somfy Blinds

[ralnet]

My current configuration.

4 Somfy blinds 12 volt RTS 433.42 MHz
1 Somfy Tilt 12 volt RTS 433.42 Mhz

I control these blind from Homeseer Troller ZEE S2 VIA events, Zwave plugin and Somfy ZRUTS II. The ZRUTSII does not have two way status.

Can I use the RFXtrx433E or the RFXrcv433E and the RFXCOM plugin to control the blinds and have two way status.

Than you

Bob

You can control the blinds but a property of the RTS protocol is that there is no reporting of the status.

The Somfy protocol with RFXCOM is one way.
Blinds do not transmit there status.
The Ext or Ext2 firmware has only transmit functions for Somfy RTS.

Receive is not implemented for 2 reasons:
1 security so that recording and replay is not possible,
2 Somfy does not operate at 433.92 and enabling Somfy receive would disable receive of all other sensors

Thank you for the replies and explanations.

I will stay with my current config.

Best to both of you
