Adding more than 4 OOK based units with an ENER314-RT

[catret]

Hi,

like the title says really , is there a way to add more than 4 of the 'legacy' units (socket adapters, light switches etc) with the ENER314-RT board?

I can't believe Energenie expect us to have no more than 4 light switches in the house so feel i must be missing something obvious.

thanks

Yes, you can change the house code assigned in the Python, and 'learn' different house codes to different legacy devices. Then just register those new devices in your registry with a different house code, and refer to them by their variable name in the python. So, use setup_tool/legacy learn option and enter a different house code to the default. Put the switch into learn mode trigger the transmission from the setup tool with 1 2 3 4 as the device code for that house code. The switch has now learnt a different house code. So with 20 bits of house code and 2 bits of device code, 12 bits of address will give you 2^22 = 4,194,304 unique devices. That should be enough for any large house ;-) You can then store the combination of the house code and device code in your registry.kvs ADD fan type=ENER002 device_id=[0x6C6C6, 1] 0x6C6C6 is the default house code - change this to a different house code to get more address space. 1 is the device index (0 for all in that house code, or 1 2 3 or 4 for a specific device). If you don't want to use the registry, use the file https://github.com/whaleygeek/pyenergenie/blob/master/src/control_any_noreg.py and put the house code and device code inside the device initialisation, e.g. fan = energenie.Devices.ENER002((0x1234, 1)) You can then use fan.turn_on() and fan.turn_off() in your code. Don't forget to use energenie.init() at the start and energenie.finished() before script exit. House codes are 6 hex digits (4 bits per digit=20 bits)
