@Bryan I can second that. Very useful example. Thanks, Ed.

Hi, I think your code for changing the device is wrong. You send the contents of bit3 as the device id, but this is never set. I think you need to get rid of bit3 (it doesn’t appear to be used) and replace a section of code with.

sendPair(hedevice[0]); //MSB
sendPair(hedevice[1]);
sendPair(hedevice[2]);
sendPair(hedevice[3]); //LSB

Other than that it seems to work fine – thanks a million for posting it. It’s worth remembering that the HE wall plugs can accept up to 6 controllers, so you can just pick a random sender code and add this to the plugs (put them into learn mode then get the arduino to repeatedly send “on” commands).

(I had to do this as my remote broke so I can’t retrieve the code in the way you describe).

Hi,
Glad you found the post useful – I really like your idea about powering things up/down via USB – very useful!
Cheers, Ed

Hi – appreciate you posting these details. I borrowed a lot of your code to complete a small project today:

Please let me know if I haven’t credited you [or anyone else I should have] properly.
Thanks!

Sorry – add this line:

bool hedevice[4]={};

near the top. Have edited the code above.

Which AM Transmitters did you actually order? What part numbers?

Im totaly new to this, Thanks for your mini guide.

Got my hardware wired up and attached to my ardunio, I have imported homeeasy.cpp and homeeasy.h but when I paste your code and upload it im getting the following error.

In function ‘void setHEDevice(int)’:
error: ‘hedevice’ was not declared in this scope

Ideas?

@Manu91
Ah, sorry – more escaping needed. Fixed now.

I’m also relatively new to C – it’s horrible – oh for Java

hello,
thanks for that, you have corrected 1 line, but the other two are same :
the lines with “for” instruction on “void itob” and “void setHEDevice”
thanks from a newbee in “C” !
