RFXtrxUSB / RFXtrxWifi with RFX433 or RFX868

Filed under: Using — RFXCOM @ 4:10 pm

The new RFXtrxUSB and RFXtrxWifi are available with a 433MHz transceiver or 868MHz transceiver.
http://www.rfxcom.com/Transceivers

The 868MHz transceiver supports the protocols:

  • Visonic PowerCode sensors,
  • FS20,
  • Itho CVE RFT
  • Itho CVE ECO RFT,
  • Orcon,
  • Edisio,
  • Alecto ACH2010, WS5500,
  • FineOffset WH2900,
  • Davis Vantage Vue EU.

The 433MHz transceiver is able to transmit all protocols that can be used by the RFXtrx433XL for example Somfy RTS, Dooya, Chacon, X10 ….
And in addition it can transmit the new Brel and Dooya protocol.
Receive is not yet fully implemented. At the moment X10, ARC, AC are supported for receive. We hope to add additional protocols soon.

New RFXtrxLAN

Filed under: Using — RFXCOM @ 9:11 am

A limited number of RFXtrxLAN units is available now.  http://www.rfxcom.com/RFXtrxLAN

The RFXtrxLAN can have the RFXtrx433XL or RFXtrx868XL installed. After testing multiple LAN and WiFi controllers finally we found controllers that do not disturb the receive sensitivity at 433 and 868MHz so that the RFXtrx transceivers performs the best.
The RFXtrx XL transceivers can be placed anywhere in your home or your holiday home or whatever place as long as an Internet connection is available.
It is also possible to access the RFXtrx XL transceivers by multiple applications at the same time.

  • Easy to configure, no software installation
  • Easy to install the RFXtrx XL
  • Maximum RF performance
  • Also possible to use for other serial devices (at 3V3 logic level)
