I do not have the old protocol and I am really not too much interested in digging into it either if you understand, it would be rather time consuming to add support for those devices.
I tried to find the setup of the xPL Monkey in my machines but I only have it installed in one of my PC's.
And yes, I believe the string will most likely change as you suspect if the signal changes. Also it might change if the battery level changes and I believe there is also a message sequence number in there.
One way could be to try to generate a couple of same events with different signal levels and compare and see if you can detect a difference. Then, if you reach that far, you can do a better parsing of the string to extract exactly the information you need.
Best, Walter

I have an Oregon temperature gauge that I receive and try to send with Broadcaster UDP.
I tried to make a script, but it did not go well. I tried with this script to send temperatur ...
RFXtrx.Type: THGN122/123, THGN132, THGR122/228/238/268 id: 26625
p = eg.event.payload
p = p.split(' ')
outtemp26625 = p[2]
eg.globals.outtemp26625 = outtemp26625
#print outtemp26625
And then send outtemp26625 with broadcaster but the result was (outtemp26625)
print outtemp26625 works but how do I send this value?

Try this (just change the port number so it fits your receiving end
Code: Select all
p = eg.event.payload
p = p.split(' ')
outtemp26625 = p[2]
eg.plugins.BroadcastListener.Broadcast(u'test', str(outtemp26625), 33330)

It worked very well, thank you very much. I just switched to the correct port number and the (test) to buttonname ^. Now I can see the temperatures in Touch Control app

Hello,
First thank you for making this plugin!
I regularly loose my communication to the rfxtrx433. Seemes like the com port interface hangs. A PC restart is needed to solve this. Eventghost restart is not sufficient, then an "cant open com port" is showed when the plugin starts. Any ideas?
See this error message:
14:02:03 Error in Action: "RFXtrx: send_AC: Varme Mads ON"
14:02:03 Traceback (most recent call last) (1640):
14:02:03 File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionBase.py", line 170, in CallWrapper
14:02:03 return self(*args)
14:02:03 File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\RFXtrx\__init__.py", line 5691, in __call__
14:02:03 self.plugin.WriteMsg(msg, w_msg, w_key)
14:02:03 File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\RFXtrx\__init__.py", line 856, in WriteMsg
14:02:03 self.serial.write(str(data))
14:02:03 File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\eg\WinApi\serial\serialwin32.py", line 234, in write
14:02:03 err, n = win32file.WriteFile(self.hComPort, s, self._overlappedWrite)
14:02:03 error: (5, 'WriteFile', 'Ingen tilgang.')
An intermediate solution could be to issue a PC restart when this error message shows, but how can I do that? Is the error message stored in a variable?
Regards Hakon

The plugin is in use by many users so if there would be some similar or generic problem with it we would have heard it.
I think instead you should start look for conflicts in Windows of some kind, maybe you have another softwaretrying to use the same port??

Hakon, it seems the FTDI driver becomes frozen. This problem has been reported a very few times and was solved connecting the RFXtrx433 to a powered USB hub.

New version supporting the new FW release version 433_70 published in the first post. I have changed the configuration view as below. Use RFXmngr to enable/disable selected protocols.

Thanks!
Got it.
Btw do you have any idea why I'm getting a line saying
when I start EventGhost? It has an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle, so I'm guessing it's a warning sign about something.

Hi,
It is not coming from the RFXtrx plugin itself, it must be something else, maybe another plugin...
Try to disable plugins, one at a time, and see if/when the message comes back when you enable them one by one again...
