FYI: Interesting observation on rolling code #293
Comments
Early on when testing the solution I managed to get one of my shades to lock out the rolling code of my main remote. Unfortunately, to factory reset it in my instance requires removal of the. So I went about creating a little program in an attempt to get it to move. This program started at a low rolling code number and incremented for several hours sending a command at 1 second intervals and the address never came back to life. Alas I had to spend most of the day up on a ladder connecting and disconnecting the motor to get it to reset. What my little program did not do is hit 0 ever so perhaps there is something with that. However, I am not going to risk that myself as pulling down the motor is not a fun task. Perhaps others with much easier access to their reset could test this out. I believe mine are LT60s. |
Oh, I'm so sorry about having ruined your day... :o Apart from that - I had read somewhere that the tolerance should get smaller and smaller the more "wrong" codes are received by the actuator (no idea for which actuators this applies)? I.e. could it be that this is another problem for your little program? I can only say that I had set the code in ESPSomfyRTS to ZERO, so the next code sent was then ONE. |
If I ever manage to goof mine up again I am going to certainly try your method. I cannot confirm or deny the rumor that the rolling code window gets smaller. There is a lot of speculative information regarding that behavior so I cannot be abso-positive that the code window shrinks. |
I made an interesting random observation with a Somfy Oximo RTS drive:
The rolling code can apparently be reset (e.g. in case you have lost it)!
How to reproduce:
It is still unclear if this method is universally effective, even for all different kinds of RTS drives. However, the observed behavior does not appear to be entirely random: After repeating the procedure with another drive, it was successful once again.
=> Maybe you would like to try it yourself and share your observations?
If the method proves to be effective, the loss of a rolling code may no longer be a concern...
