Newbie here… I’ve running OMG 0.95 and can’t seem to see any RF signals being passed via MQTT Explorer when operating my RF light switches that are paired to RF fobs. As a test i’ve also checked to see whether i can discover my RF window sensors (GS-WDS07) Which show up just fine, can anyone help me troubleshoot? The switches are reasonably high end units (For RF! no neutral, dimmable, etc.) And pair nicely with the broadlink RM4 Pro) Is there any updates or alternative libraries that i may need?
If you need any logs or info let me know! Not sure what to post up to help…
what model are you light switches? Which frequency are your STX882/SRX882 modules?
Could it be a 433 vs. 315 MHz incompatibility?
The Broadlink RM4 Pro seems to have both frequencies in later models (in the US market), whereas the STX882/SRX882 modules get sold as either 433 OR 315 MHz only versions.
433mhz, as they find my GS-WDS07 door sensors fine!

Yup. I’ve got the dual band 315/433mhz version, made sure at the time of purchase. Just to confirm, my switch RF fobs work fine with the RM4 Pro. but don’t with my OMG Gateway as it can’t see the RF signals sent from the fobs to control the switches.
Which country are you located in?
The UK.
The fact that my OMG Gateway sees my RF door sensors (GS-WDS07) which are 433mhz makes me think it should be able to see the switches too as they are also 433mhz.
Could it be something to do with the RF libraries on my gateway?
So it’s not an issue of 433 vs. 315 MHz incompatibility. Good.
I’m sure you’ve also already tried the RF2 option, though doing a search for the ILumos switches does indicate that they might be problematic, e.g.
Maybe someone else has further ideas if and how to use them with OMG.
As long as you’re aware that it is highly illegal in Europe to privately use the 315 MHz band for transmissions, as it is purely restricted to military communications use
No, i havn’t as i didn’t assemble this device myself. Is there anyway of checking or querying the device to see what RF library it is using? Can i tell via watching the mqtt explorer payloads?

Yup saw this a year or so ago, to me it simply looks like someone wasn’t happy with the broadlinks functionality at controlling the switches with RF so took it apon themselves to sharpen up the RF implementation themselves. But it dosn’t disprove that these should work with 433mhz.
Any ideas?

I’m not using the 315mhz band and i’m not near any airports The decision was purely around if there’s a choice of 2… I want that the dual band one!.
I’m still up for any ideas to try as the broadlink works fine with the switches so i believe this is a configuration thing on my OMG gateway. Is it possible to run all RF libraries simultaneously on an OMG gateway or can you only run one at a time?
Lastly, Is there an easy Over-the-air updater to install the newest version of OMG gateway using the built in wifi/ap of the OMG gateway? I was hoping to not have to set up the project in full on my pc to update it as it is now installed…Anyone?
Is it on the roadmap to have multiple RF libraries active on a single OMG gateway? Or is this simply an impossibility due to how they interact with the RF sensor? What library would you say covers the most devices?
Lovey. Thanks, Is it possible to do OTA on an ESP32 on v0.92 or would i need to reflash it to get the functionality at all?
Ooh. Im intrigued! Could you spill the beans in regards to whether it’s down the line of my question about running multiple rf libraries on a single OMG device?
