HE830S

Thanks Dean

I'd found those and had a go without success. I'll try a bit harder.

Unfortunately I don't have a remote so I was hoping to program the sockets by teaching them with the box.

Picked 'em up cheap on fleabay so just playing a the moment. I'll persevere!

OK Here's a couple of codes that I have got to work with these sockets:

on
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2D5E00
off
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2D5900

These were obtained by learning the codes from the RC unit by "listening" in to the RF pulses and then feeding them into the RF helper page.

I used bits/frame 1

Index  HI    LO 
0       300 940 µs
1       940 300 µs

4 bursts and 10000 interburst delay  and 25 frames (I think you need to add an extra 0 onto the binary frame definition shown below.

I don't know if anyone uses the RC stuff from:

 http://code.google.com/p/rc-switch/

but here's the output that you get from the advanced receive demo on an arduino:

Decimal: 11850401 (24Bit) Binary: 101101001101001010100001 Tri-State: not applicable PulseLength: 310 microseconds Protocol: 1
Raw data: 9644,912,336,284,956,908,336,896,344,280,960,900,344,280,976,272,960,900,344,896,352,268,972,888,352,268,980,272,972,880,360,256,1012,264,24,24,68,396,460,12,964,280,956,284,956,292,948,904,336,

Decimal: 11850406 (24Bit) Binary: 101101001101001010100110 Tri-State: not applicable PulseLength: 308 microseconds Protocol: 1
Raw data: 9584,920,316,300,940,912,328,908,328,292,948,908,332,288,948,300,944,912,324,912,336,284,952,912,332,288,960,292,956,900,336,288,964,892,340,280,964,896,336,280,944,296,936,912,328,908,332,284,944,

 I think that you can disregard the 9000+ number at the beginning that's probably the interburst delay, I think that the rest roughly corresponds to what I got from the "listened" output.

I'll maybe be able to do some more work on this next week SWMBO permitting.

Hope this helps

No, it is absolutely not a stupid question! Indeed, that's the big question for me. I've only found 2 codes that switch them on and several that switch them off. Trouble is, it seems to be an all or nothing code because the sockets I have will only learn the "all on" or "all off" codes from my BBSB remote. So unfortunately, at the moment, I can't really work out which part of the code is the "unit address".

Maybe some trial and error testing next week will reveal more information.

I freely admit that the remote that I have is not the correct one. I got one of these:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271107063376?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=...

So it's not entirely a surprise that it doesn't work quite right. I had thought, however, that there was some commonality with the HE BBSB famliy of kit and that I should be able to find some working code without too much trouble. :-(

Still, a good enought excuse to play around with the kit I suppose.

Here's some more working stuff for these sockets. Three codes which work the sockets independently are as follows:

ON
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2B4C00
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2C4C00
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2D4C00
OFF
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2B4B00
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2C4B00
010103AC012C012C03AC04012710194B2D4B00

I'm sure you can work out from the above which digits affect the operation. 5th from the end seems to be an address code which allows individual addressing of sockets and 3rd from the end seems to be the on/off switch.

The code which I gave above will also still do an "all on" or "all off" override of the sockets programmed with these codes.

On a side note, I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but my internet connection has become very unreliable of late. My router still thinks it has a connection but I can't access the internet at all. Having extensively tested these codes this morning I'm beginning to wonder if the frequent use of the RF transmitter (which is right next to my router) may be the cause of this problem. My internet connection crashes almost daily and only a reboot of the router will get it back online agian.

I admit that I was firing off loads of RF today during testing but my internet died this morning at 11:30 without me noticing and with no indication that anything was wrong.

Has anyone else experienced this?
