I've found a simple way to determine the raw code for the buttons on the remote (Flamingo FA500R). Just start

Code:

pilight-debug

Don't forget to stop pilight with the command

Code:

sudo service pilight stop

and keep pressing the desired button until you get an output with these parameters:

Code:

rawlen:    58
binlen:    14
pulselen:  147 (or 148)

The binary code was also always: 11111111111111.

This can take some time, even a minute or two, just try it over and over again until you get something with pulselen = 147.

Here are my pilight-debug outputs / raw codes:

You can send the raw code with this command (for instance for turning on your switch with my code for button A):

Code:

sudo pilight-send -p raw -c "294 1029 294 1029 1029 294 294 1029 294 1029 1029 441 294 1029 294 1029 294 1029 294 1029 882 441 882 294 294 1029 1029 441 882 294 1029 294 294 1029 294 1029 1029 294 882 294 294 1029 294 1029 294 1029 882 441 294 1029 1029 441 1029 294 294 1029 294 4998"

Don't forget to turn on pilight again before sending codes:

Code:

sudo service pilight start

I've tested all my raw codes and they are working.

<strike>But the problem is, the codes are somehow overlapping. I was not able to control all three switches independently with my remote or the raw codes of my remote plus the two posted in this thread. Therefore I'll send them back to Amazon. I don't know what's broken – the remote which is not able to send distinct codes or the switches which are maybe not able to distinguish the codes.

So I'm going to begin to search for (probably not self-learning) switches again. </strike>

Edit: I didn't know that you have to reverse the connection. I read it in the manual today. So there are no conflicting codes or something like that. The switches are just able to learn several codes.

I hope there will be a protocol sometime. These Flamingo things are the best-selling sockets on Amazon Germany. Maybe we should post our raw codes here while there is no protocol. I also added my remote (remote IV) in the wiki.

[darkday]

diego, the codes you have posted work for my devices as well. Good job!
Now we just have to hope for a new protocol.

I'm a newby here yet have been running Raspberry Pi's since day 1. I've got 4 of them.
So far I have been using Elro switches, X10 stuff, Action! switches etc., all driven from the Pi. Recently I bought 9 Flamingo switches (3 x FA500/3), so I am very interested in switching these too. That's why I came to this forum.
I've been trying the pilight-send commands as suggested above, yet my 433MHz transmitter is connected to the 'wrong' pins...
Any news on drivers that drive pin 8 (TxD) on the Pi's GPIO? I have tried to get pilight configured so that it uses TxD instead of GPIO.0, but so bar I did not succeed.

[curlymo]

Is this a Flamingo or a electronics question?

[Adam]

Is this a Flamingo or a electronics question?

It's Flamingo and pilight actually. No plans to rewire the GPIO.
Would be nice if someone could tell me how to modify the hardware.json file so that TxD can be used, but the most interesting part is the part about the Flamingo's and their control-codes.

[Shadowhand]

Is there any update on this Flamingo Protocol by now?
Am I right that its not possible to add it to the web interface by using the raw code, or can it be added if you write the raw code into a script file?

Kind regards

[Groby69]

Hi,
the raw Flamingo send function does work very well, so will there be a protocol in the future we can use?

That would be great!

Thx in advance!

Hello :-)

I have 2 sets of Mumbi FS-300 / Flamingo without DIP-Switches. Today I figured out the codes for my 2 remote controls. Hope this helps somebody.

When using pilight-debug, I was looking for:

Binary code:
11111111111111
and
pulse: 2
rawlen: 58
binlen: 14

I've been trying the pilight-send commands as suggested above, yet my 433MHz transmitter is connected to the 'wrong' pins...
Any news on drivers that drive pin 8 (TxD) on the Pi's GPIO? I have tried to get pilight configured so that it uses TxD instead of GPIO.0, but so bar I did not succeed.

Have you looked up your winringX number here? Configuring pilight is described here. Don't forget to stop pilight, otherwise the /etc/pilight/config.json could be overwritten with the old settings.

Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to the community and the software (since yesterday ;-) ). Since I have the same m-FS300 Kit from Mumbi and I don't intend to send it back, i wanted to contribute a bit. Thanks so far for the posted codes, i can confirm for some to work. Some have problems (A ON from Peter works for me, but OFF doesn't)
After a night of searching and collecting, i just compared the given codes. These are the Codes mostly posted in this thread, represented in binary under the assumption, that one puls is about 300mS and a one is (1 pulse/ 3 pulse) and a zero is (3 pulse / 1 pulse). The Codes are grouped by channel. They are alternating on/off (so three remotes per channel).

110110 10100000100110011000 011 ON

I grouped them like that, because i think, that there is a header and a footer per channel as you can see. The numbers in the middle do not make sense to me at the moment.

A funny thing is, that the ninjablocks (https://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils) seem to understand it. With RFSniffer i get the following codes for my remote:

A
5243157 ON
5243156 OFF

B
5243925 ON
5243924 OFF

C
5244181 ON
5244180 OFF

D
5242901 ON
5242900 OFF

This makes kind of sense for me, but when i try to send these codes, nothing happens.

Maybe that helps.
