Struggling to send RF Signal

Hi All,

I am new to OMG and struggling to send RF commands.

I have a NodeMCU and this RF Module connected to it. I am able to receive the RF signal from a remote of the light switch but when I try to send that code back to turn off the light, nothing happens.

I have connected NodeMCU to Serial Monitor and these are the logs:

*WM: AutoConnect
*WM: Connecting as wifi client...
*WM: Using last saved values, should be faster
*WM: Connection result: 
*WM: 3
*WM: IP Address:
*WM: 192.168.1.33
connected...yeey :)

Now to send back the RF signal through MQTT I publish this MQTT message:

mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.2 -p 1883 -u username -P password -t "home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTto433" -m '{"value":5038820}'

And this is the result on Serial Monitor:

What do you think could be the issue here?

Hello,

It can be an issue with your emitter wiring, is it correctly powered?
Did you try to check with a led if a signal is applied to its signal pin?

3

I think the wiring should be good since when i send the mqtt topic I manage to get that code also to rf receiver (i see that on hassio).

4

This code is only an acknowledgement. Not a received one.

5

Have you tried sending the other parameters, protocol length and delay, with the payload? I have a doorbell that will only respond if I send the delay parameter as well, as it is outside the range of the default value.

Apparently this was a physical issue with my RF transmitter. I bought a new one and it is working flawlessly with an RF switch but I have an issue with my roller shutters. In the back of my remote (see below) it says 433.93MHz but i am NOT able to receive the RF signal (with broadlink I did but when tried to transmit, nothing happened). Attached is the remote and also the motor that I use for my rolling shutters. I would appreciate your feedback.
