Hi! I’ve purchased a house that got a couple dimmers, xcomfort ctaa 04/04. No idea what kind of actuator driving the lights. Do I need this bridge (if my actuators could work with this), or is actuators and your «code» enough?
I haven’t been able to reverse-engineer the RF protocol that the xComfort dimmers/actuators use. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a device-to-device, password-protected system that uses rolling encryption on the 868.3 MHz band.
Because of this, my code doesn’t talk directly to the dimmers/actuators themselves. Instead, it relies on the official xComfort Bridge as the interface. That bridge exposes an open IP API, which is what the app connects to.
Here’s the bridge product link for reference:
yes, you’ll need the bridge. The actuators alone aren’t enough to connect to Homey through the app.
