RFXCOM device working great in Housebot

[wetwired]

I recently bought a RFXCOM receiver/transmitter from http://www.rfxcom.com/. The device with order code: 87005.
I´m using it to receive my X10 rf wall swithches, Nexa remotes and my ATI remote. The transmitter controls my Nexa lamp modules. The plugin for Housebot works great and the setup was really easy. If anyone has any questions I´ll do my best to respond.

Great to hear that things are working well with your RFXCOM.

The HouseBot plugins for the RFXCOM are still in beta. Anybody interested in testing the plugins, please email me at [email protected].

HouseBot has made a great improvement due to the added support for RFXCOM.
The most important of them are the receiving of whole house power usage meters, Oregon Scientific weather sensors and body weight scales, Visonic and
BT-VP1000 security sensors, Harrison electrical curtains, cheap European RF wall switches and control of cheap RF appliance and lamp modules, and many
others.

See some example screens with a few RFXCOM devices: http://www.rfxcom.com/housebot.htm
