I currently use a rather old 70003 RFXCom Receiver, directly connected to my DomotiGa server.
But it has got a firmware update recently (thanks Bert)
Version request to receiver => F020 4D29 Version Master=29
You can enable this module by going to Setup RFXcom menu, and select the type of interface you have (serial or tcp)
Startup Log Entries:
2008/11/11 22:56:29 RFXComRX TCP/Serial interface enabled. 2008/11/11 22:56:29 RFXComRX serial interface connected to Port /dev/ttyUSB3
RFXCom Protocol Overview¶
RECEIVER¶
Protocols to be enabled
Enable only the protocols necessary to be received!
Too many protocols enabled make the receiver less sensitive.

TRANSMITTER¶
Protocols to be enabled
These selections are only used for the standard transmitter!
The RFXmitter has all protocols enabled by default. This RFXmitter is using a different technique so that it operates faster than the standard transmitter.
Enable only the protocols necessary to control your RF modules in the standard transmitter!
Too many protocols enabled will reduce the transmitter speed and also create too much RF traffic.

RFXmitter¶
This transmitter supports these protocols:
X10 (lighting, security, Robocam/Ninja), ARC, Waveman, Harrison, IKEA Koppla, AC, HomeEasy EU and Flamingo. Individual protocol have not to be selected. If you experience problems with some units you can increase the number of transmitted RF packets. The number of repeated RF packets can be configured for each protocol individually using the RFXmitter program. This setting is saved in the transmitter. You can also test to decrease the number of transmitted packets. But remember: range problems cannot be solved by increasing the number of transmitted RF packets.
Handshake connected¶
The 2 port RFXCOM Ethernet interfaces have the handshake connection inside the box. For the 1 port RFXCOM Ethernet interface and the USB interface an external handshake cable is necessary. See the Handshake installation.pdf for details how to install this cable connection.
This handshake function will only function correctly with a Master receiver connected having the same frequency as the transmitter. Normally 433.92MHz.
The function of this handshake is:
The transmitter is only allowed to transmit if the receiver does not receive data. This avoids RF collisions as much as possible.
The receiver stops receiving during the time the transmitter is active. So data transmitted is not received back and endless loops are eliminated.
Install notes¶
- Check that the device is installed and recognised, the latest version of the RFXcom Tranceiver connects to the USB port
domotiga@sheeva-1043-000558:~$ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB* crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr 24 20:07 /dev/ttyUSB0
- You need to make sure the user you're running DomotiGa as is a member of the dialout group:
useradd -G dialout domotiga
