Question

Posted

Hi all,
I would like to know if someone has a solution to send RF signals initiated from HC2.

I received a new TV-Box from a Belgian operator. The Telenet (operator) TV - box is simular to the UPC mediabox.
This one, compared to the previous one, has an RF remote. It's no longer an IR remote. I could send IR command through HC2 by using Global Cache IP2IR device (

)
but that's no longer possible with this new TV-Box. Therefor I'm looking for a solution. Anybody has an idea?

BTW, the device is not, or barely, CEC compatible and there is no http api neither.
I also have RPI which can be used but I could not find a rather easy way to do this (I'm not an electronic guy).

I’m using a RFXComm RFX433e transmitter to control my sunscreens with a 433 MHz signal, with this device connected to a Raspberry and then using a VD to send the appropriate signals.

 

in your case, you need to know the frequencies and which signals to broadcast, otherwise this will be a no-go solution

for RF and other controls like IR, Zigbee and it's even good for Z-wave :-D

    @Wimjanse and @Bodyart

    Thanks for the suggestions. But either it seems a lot of work or rather expensive (nevertheless the Homey seems to be interesting :-)

    I think I'll wait a while and hope they either deliver an API or support the CEC commands.

    RM MINI3 now works with my HC2. I grab some codes from open source project by python and port code to HC2 

    one cons is HC2 can’t support AES128 sign and openessl module also disabled by Fibaro 

    so all sling requests works on rPI Apache service and back signed code to HC2 

    its ugly but it’s works

     for RM MINI3 and RM PRO (RF on 433 MHz) on my raspberry as service and I call it via http GET from scenes or VDs. The source is for python2.7, for python3 you need do small modification.

    No, I stopped the RF approach. But I can send all commands through IR.
    After a long search I noticed that a Logitech Harmony remote might know the IR codes. I bought one, and pointed the ir signals to my IR learner (Flex). I've send and captured all commands and delivered the remote back to the store :-)

    So, nevertheless all commands are send from the TV remote through RF, the Telenet TV box can understand all IR signals.
