HouseBot

Hi all,

I just bought an RFXCOM transmitter mostly for controlling a few KAKU devices I have here, but I cant find any way to add the devices to HouseBot.

With the RFXCOM Receiver I can select "HomeEasy Sensor" to monitor these devices, but with the RFXCOM Transmitter I seem to only be able to select X10-like device codes even though the transmitter does support the Automatic Code devices.

Am i overlooking something here?

You add the KAKU device with automatic code as a HomeEasy device.
Assign a X10 like device code.
Put the KAKU in learn mode and transmit an ON command.
The KAKU is now paired to the Housebot device.

Most KAKU modules can be paired with up to 6 remotes. A Housebot device is seen as a remote.

Additional info: Do not use KAKU motion sensors or door/window sensors in Housebot. Those sensors are designed for stand-alone configuration but do not work very well in a home automation environment. better is to use Visonic or X10 door/window sensors and the X10 MS13 motion sensor.
