MLGW and Somfy Blinds transmitter

16 replies

Hi,

 

It's some years ago but for the Cable i remember i solder a simple  1 wire txd mlgw  to  rxd somfy rts and 1 wire gnd thats it

i see if i had the programming for the customstring on mlgw and get back

Hi,

I don't notice that problem iwas rs485 on european rts,   this was some years ago and i use a US model with rs232 but maybe it's possible to use  rs232 -> rs 485 converter maybe? or buy US model because RTS transmitter use 433,92 mhz in US also i not sure now but probebly the same

@tompa. If you could just give an example of the custom strings that would be great.

Thanks I. Advance

Hi,

You only type in for example  0103U   in match/command field in mlgw  =  RTS adress 1  motorchannel  03 (1-16)  and motor UP 

or                                            0103S   in match/command field in mlgw  =  RTS adress 1  motorchannel 03  (1-16) and motor stop

or                                            0103D   in match/command field in mlgw  =  RTS adress 1  motorchannel 03 (1-16) and motor down

 

all as output command in type field in mlgw

Great!

Thanks for this.

Was this done based upon the rs232 commands.

Hi,

yes rs232

and i wrote wrong in earlier post (433,92Mhz )but somfy use 433,42Mhz but it's the same in US and EU so it would be no problem to use the RTS universal interface II  US model in europé (and that was the interface i used)
