Description:

Display the current states of your radio controlled HomeMatic (eQ-3) radiator thermostats of type HM-CC-RT-DN via CCU2.
The following information appears in the screen (based on the configuration): The name of the heater, the current temperature, the target temperature, the current mode (off, boost, party, manual) and the fault reporting (i.e. low battery), if any.

It requires a HomeMatic central control unit (CCU2). Download:

What is Character Encoding?

A character encoding tells the computer how to interpret raw zeroes and ones into real characters. It usually does this by pairing numbers with characters. Words and sentences in text are created from characters and these characters are grouped into a character set. Therefore, there must be mappings that describe how to turn each character in a character set into a sequence of bytes. Some characters might be mapped to a single byte but others will have to be mapped to multiple bytes. Those mappings are encoding, because they are telling you how to encode characters into sequences of bytes.

Hi, there is already such a module. It’s called alert and part of the default modules package.

There are a lot of options you can configure.

Hi there,
I’m looking for an approach to accomplish the following:
I have some (remote) radio controlled power outlets (on 433 MHz signals). Currently I have 4 of these outlets, so 8 different codes (on /off). I would like to display a message on my MagicMirror once a particular power outlet has been switched on. The message should disappear if the particular power outlet has been switched off again.
I have a wireless receiver for my Pi up and running and also found a RFSniffer (https://github.com/ninjablocks/433Utils/tree/master/RPi_utils) written in C++ which works fine so far. I can see all codes for each outlet if I switch it on/off by the remote control.
Now I’m struggling with the implementation in my module for MM. I understand that I have to use the node_helper.js somehow to receive notifications. But I only found a way to get results of Python scripts back to the node_helper. I don’t find a RFSniffer tool written in Python.
Question 1: Is there any Python RFSniffer available?
Question 2: How can I get the result from the C++ Sniffer to the node_helper.js to evaluate it in my module? Is there a way without having a Python script inbetween? If not, is there any tutorial or similar code available that I can use as template to solve my requirement?

Thanks in advance!
