Welcom to the offical HomeEasy discussion board

Hi there,

Just seen the Bye Bye Standby Online controller which looks excellent, however, the Home Easy has outdoor PIR's etc. that ByeBye do not have.

Is the Online controller compatible with the Home Easy range at all ?

Thanks,
Roy.

The Home Easy outdoor PIR is virtually identical internally to the ByeBye indoor PIR, and are interchangeable.

The online controller should operate most of the HE range (I use the ByeBye Standby remotes and PIRs with HE socket adaptors and lights).

Just got the BBSB online controller. And, unfortunately, it does not seem able to control my HomeEasy sockets.

I've run the debug mode on the controller, and it can see the commands coming from my HE100, but if I then go and tell the controller to send the same codes itself, it doesn't work. Damn.

It does seem a shame, as the codes are so similar and yet they don't work. It looks like I'm going to need to go for a full HomeEasy setup and give up on the idea of using the BBSB online controller and something like Harmony.

The RFXCOM receiver and transmitter are fully compatible with all HomeEasy products.

The Home Automation software to use:
xPL, HouseBot or Homeseer+RFXCOM plug-in

Yes, but the BBSB online controller is £50 quid. Shame, if they are not interested in doing it, that there's not been any home grown software to modify it with.

Now you throw the HE100 into the equation

The HE100 (and other HE remote) use a more advanced code than the ByeBye stuff can handle. The outdoor HE PIR uses the standard ByeBye coding (eg code wheels) so is interchangeable.

The sockets can be paired to six codes at the same time, so pair the socket with the HE100, then pair the socket with the BBSB by sending a ByeBye code, eg D2. You can then use the HE100 to control the socket or the BBSD (by sending D2 or whatever code you chose). You could also use the HE PIR set to D2 and a ByeBye standby remote set to code D and use button 2.

I have the rfxcom transmitter, and while it is very good with the pound being so weak it really does push the transmitter receiver combination out of the ball park for many people.
