I am running a 'dual' setup ie HE200 handsets and HAH RF control, what I was hoping to achieve was having feedback into the HAH when the HE200 control is used (possibly to update the gui state)  and I thought I would also be able to program the HAH to use the same code as the HomeEasy Dual wall switches as I have found that if the wall switch is used and then the HAH is used sometimes the HAH command is ignored until the wall switch is used again to switch the lights off and then the HAH can switch them back on again. 

My initial question therefore to clarify will this unit allow me to 'learn' the code being transmitted both by the HomeEasy protocol as used by the wall switches and the BBSB protocol as used by the HE200?

Thanks

So if I wanted to setup the receiver to decode the Homeeasy and once I had the required codes could I then change the setup so that I could run it in BBSB mode to perform ongoing decoding of the HE200 signals - is it just a matter of reflashing with the desired code or something more complicated that could maybe be achived by having the desired code preloaded on another chip that I could simply swap over as needed?  I am itching to buy this but just need to be sure that its going to do what I think/hope it will.

Thanks

Hi Dean,

Here is an overview of how I have tackled the issue that you seem to be having:-

Part of my system comprises a HE200 Lcd remote control, 2 x HE308 twin wall switches and several HE302S plug in 13 A sockets - there are other components but I will leave them out for clarity.

An important point to note is that the HE302S sockets can learn a total of 6 seperate commands, this seems to be the case for all HomeEasy receivers with the exception of the HE330S receivers which are an updated 13 A socket which does not have a learn button and these units can only accept 3 commands - I would suggest that you wipe all existing commands from your receivers and start from scratch learning - this way you can be sure that no rogue on/off commands are going to be lurking and cause unexpected behaviour - I have learnt this the hard way!

First I taught each HE302S to accept HE308 wall switch number 1 (position 1 of 6 occupied) and then wall switch number 2 (pos 2 of 6) - (I have a HE308 switch at each end of the living room) - SWMBO can now switch all plug in lights on/off from a 'standard' wall switch.

Second I taught each HE302S with an individual code from the HE200 LCD remote control (pos 3 of 6) in my case the rotary wheel for this remote was set to position A giving A1 to A16 codes i.e. 01010177046504650177060127101900441500 - which is the on code for A6 - this is worked out as follows:-

01010177046504650177060127101 - ignore this part - its essential but we don't need to worry about the content of this as that has already been worked out, it's the next three sections that we need to understand:-

900 = A

44 = 6

1500 = ON

Using the tool - section BBSB RF at http://www.dbzoo.com/public/rf-helper.html will help you to obtain codes A to H 1 to 8 but in my case due to the number of units I need to control I needed to access codes A to P and 1 to 16 - the following is a list of these codes:-

A = 900  B = 940  C = 910  D = 950  E = 904  F = 944  G = 914  H = 954  I = 901  J = 941  K = 911  L = 951  M = 905  N = 945  O = 915  P = 955

1 = 00  2 = 40  3 = 10  4 = 50  5 = 04  6 = 44  7 = 14  8 = 54  9 = 01  10 = 41  11 = 11  12 = 51  13 = 05  14 = 45  15 = 15  16 = 55

1500 = on  1400 = off

Thirdly I taught each HE302S with the code A16 so that I can control the group with one press (same in effect as pressing one of the wall switches) (pos 4 of 6)

Once the codes from the HE200 have been taught to the HE302S units these are then used in the HAH.

I hope this is what you were after.

I started this thread because I was hoping the the RF receiver in the shop would enable me to decode the RF signal sent from the wall switches - but as Derek has confirmed this is not the case.  The reason for wanting this is that I have found that sometimes when another part of my system is controlled from the wall switch the HAH RF control does not work until I have used the wall switch to turn off the lights at which point HAH control then works again, I had hoped that I could get the HAH RF system to use the same code as the wall switch and overome this problem but I guess this will have to wait.

The complete replica sounds just the thing that I was hoping for - when you say 'cheap' scope how cheap is cheap and do you have any recommendations?
