Hi,
im really really new to openMQTTGateway and recently got my first ESP8266 successfully running.
I also do not have any knowledge in Radio Frequency topics but i was wondering if it is possible to control current Somfy io-homecontrol rollershutter-switches via openMQTTGateway with RF-configuration.
Im pretty sure that the answer is NO, due to two main reasons?:
- Somfy io-protocol is proprietary and has not been reverse engineered yet?
- openMQTTgateway and supported RF-Hardware is not able to use 868 MHz frequencies
I found this as quick overview for the Somfy protocol: somfyio_homecontrol_guide.pdf
I think the “RTS-Standard”, older Somfy devices have are using the 433 MHz
The reason im asking is, that im not 100% satisfied with the Somfy-API, its availalbility and the fact that everything runs through a web-server
My current understandig is, that my Somfy-TahomaBox is controlling the Somfy-IO-Rollershutter-Switches via the 868MHz frequency
So id like to replace my TahomaBox with a local FOSS device → OpenMQTTGateway?
