variant of the somfy-rts protocol?
xjazzor opened this issue · 9 comments
Hi there,
I have some Roller Shades at home, which seem to be using the Somfy-RTS protocoll. I sniffed some packets with the rtl_433-plugin for SDR# as seen here:
You can see, everything is recognised except Lines 8 and up. These are the lines, where I want to program a new remote onto the shade.
If I press the same "buttons" on the virtual remote from the great EspSomfy (https://github.com/rstrouse/ESPSomfy-RTS) I get the following:
Are my shades on a different protocol, or do I need to edit something? I can provide more info if needed and want to solve this riddle :D
If you can try listening with current rtl_433. Try -R 167:vv to get the raw packets also.
There are some senders with extra data or slightly different meaning, see https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433/blob/master/src/devices/somfy_rts.c
Thank you for your help!
I pulled the data from rtl_433 and attached the readout as a file. As an excerpt, here are some readouts from down, stop, up and then program: (Attention: the examples below are not directly one after the other. The counter increments in single steps)

From my - somewhat limited perspective - it looks, like the remote just spams its id with another seed code - Before it was 0x95 now its 0x9c. I'm just gessing here. ;)
Those codes are great to analyze this. Maybe @matthiasseemoo (original author in #1496) and @Velocet (good info in #2356) can help?
Should I provide more packets/ recordings? Can I help in any way?
My second remote died and I can't find any shop to buy a new one. Therefore I want this to work. ;)
There are many RTS variants (at least 5 .. RTS, RTD, RTDS, RTW, RTN..). In case of RTS there are two different protocol modes which differ in length but are compatible to one and another.
You can find my notes i did for somfy-rts here:
RTx: Somfy RTS and its different versions

I am with you that they are nearly compatible. Sadly I can't get espsomfy to be paired with my blinds because that parts seems to differ. Maybe in this protocol the pairing sequence is only the remote-id repated 7times?
Where are we on this? Is there a path to a PR to improve rtl_433, or should we just close it?
I would love to see a PR to improve rtl_433, as I believe it could benefit not only me but others as well.
