Hi there, also successfully cloned a 433mhz RF remote with 3 buttons controlling a Projection Screen.No rolling code from what I can know. **But got the same « EINVAL (2:write) » error while pushing on any of the 3 buttons.** _→ Is this bug already reported to Athom ? Any update from athom or anyone here?_ ---

Hi there. Update: Got an answer from Athom. It’s a known issue with some cloned devices, without knowing precisely which ones and why they trigger this error. I sent more info about my buttons RF codes, and developers have been provided with those. No commitment given on any resolution date.. just waiting with my non-working devices.. ---

I can clone a signal and replay it unlimited times(not rolling) where i name the signal, but when i add the unit and try to start/play it from the panel nothing happens? ---

Hello I also successfully cloned a on & off signal from a 433mhz RF BT710 Thermostat (No rolling code from I expected.) **But got the same « EINVAL (2:write) » error while pushing On or Off button.** I will also make a call. ---
