I have installed this app. So far after 48 hours it has not been able to detect a single one of the Oregon sensors. I suspect I am getting this all wrong, but cannot find any user documentation on how to use it. Is it only for external rfxcom USB adapters run through a Raspberry PI? I’m into day 3 with the Homey and processing the learning curve. Any insights would be helpful. ---

Thanks I suspect I have missed the entire point of this App. I had read the app description but don’t think I understood why it was trying to say. To be clear this App does not provide RFXCOM functionality to the Homey 433MHz. What it does is enable Homey users to connect to a RFXCom adapter connected to a Raspberry PI. The goal of which was to provide a more reliable, wider range, 433MHz connectivity to the full range of RFXCom controllable devices ? I am currently using the Weather sensor app and it sees the Oregon Temp Sensors but keeps ‘losing’ the, for many hours a day. I have been getting updates from these same sensors for the last 2 years and they haven’t been extremely reliable, but I am using an RFXCom usb stick connected to a Mac on a long usb cable which is stuck half way up a wall. Looks like I either find a way to get the RFXCom 2 app working, along with buying a PI 3 etc etc or replace the 8 Oregons with zwave or hue temp sensors. ---

you u are correct. idont have a mac , but i know for a windows computer you can download a serialtonet converter and connect to homey. but i have no knowledge of what is possible on a mac but such a thing is maybe availble. ---

Thanks, not there yet but will probably take the Pi / RFXCOM path when I do. Thanks for the helpful response it helped clarify a few of my misconceptions. Mike ---

@nattelip - Can you point me to an idiots guide to getting Homey working with a RFXtrx433E USB HA (I already have) If that means getting a PI so be it - I would rather not have to run it on a PC. I would appreciate because the range of the Homey is killing all my sensors … Thanks Mike ---

yes if you have a rfxcom rfxtrx433 you need a pi. see > **[nattlip/com.jilles.rfxcom.2](https://github.com/nattlip/com.jilles.rfxcom.2)** > > SDK2 version of com.jilles.rfxcom.

Contribute to nattlip/pi.node.serial2net development by creating an account on GitHub. the pi needs node running on it the node package serialport should be installed on the pi and download the file serial2net.js from github put on the pi run node serial2net.js on the pi make it a service so it starts up with starting up pi pair a device from the rfxcom2 app: a rfxcom device type rfxtrx in homey put in the ip of the pi and the port 10001 voila ---

Hi, I’ve added my RfxLan + Visonic transceiver, but am unable to add any devices. I have several Visonic security sensors, and also a lot of Oregon sensors. Neither shows up in respectively “Oregon” or “Slave” device types. I have been using the RfxLan successfully with my HomeSeer setup ‘till now. Do you have any trouble-shooting hints here? ---

my visonic sensors and oregon sensors show up , do you have the right ip and port number for for your rfx lan. and the correct type of lan rxtx rx or tx isnt it a rfxtrx ? what visonic transceiver do you use. i receive the visonic devices with my rfxlan ---

I am using a RfxLan with an internal Visonic module. I use the exact same settings that I use in HomeSeer with regards to IP/ports. Is RxLan the correct choice? And, is there anywhere I can see that the app successfully connects to my RfxLan? Neither Oregon nor Visonic devices show up when trying to add. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/d/3dc16fd583a0660a6b0861fb8ef1599d268a7a2a.jpeg) ---

i dont understand it doesnt work , you only have receiving modules or can you als send eg x10 signals ? can you send a picture of the lan ? yes you could test it with using the cli installation of the app then you get a log , if you fill in the tx port you can send signals , so the device type should be rxtxlan rx is receive signals, tx is transmit signals (x10 eg) ---

maybe you could send a diagnostic report when you want to add a periferal device like a visonicdevice after installing a rfxcom device . you go to the app in homey presses on the wheel left corner then send diagnostic report to developer ? orand after restarting the app ---
