Broadlink RM Pro not learning X10 Security RF
lviper:
I just pickup up a broadlink rm pro from fleabay. That's probably my problem.
I'm using the e-control app. Got the rm pro connected to the app. I'm trying to learn the rf from a SH624. Tried a KR10a as well. Neither one works. I just get failed on the first step where you long press the button. I'm doing this within a foot of the rm pro. I'm thinking maybe the rf radio is bad.
I checked the firmware and it says I'm up to date with 20025. I emailed support to see if there is a newer version as a google search shows some are at 20028.
I also tried learning rf from a palmpad. Only tried that once but it failed on the first step also. I need to try downloading from the community shared stuff when I get home tonight and see if it even transmits the codes. That should tell me if the rf radio is shot.
But I thought I would ask here to make sure I was doing it correctly since a few here have been successful. LIke I said, using the e-control app. Adding a remote. Making a button and selecting learn single - rf sweep - then holding down the arm-home button on the sh624. I'm within a foot of the rm pro and I hold the button down till the e-control app says it failed. I've done this a several times trying arm home, arm away, disarm and security lights on and off. All failed every time.

It's been ages since I played with the SH624. I don't recall whether I looked at the security codes but for regular X10 codes the SH624 only transmits a single copy of the code with each key-press. That could make learning a code difficult.
However, the Palmpad always sends 5-6 codes with even the briefest key-press and sends continuously until the button is released so it may well be you have some other issue.

When I tried to learn the disarm button, and held it down, my security console dinged continuously until I let the button go. So I assume it was continuously sending the button command.
I've been doing google searches all morning trying to figure out how to distinguish between the versions of rm pros. I'm starting to believe I have the rm pro 433mhz version. My serial number starts with RM09 and everyone else where the serial number is mentioned say they have RM03. I found one site that references the RM09 to the 433mhz version. This would explain the problem.
Guess I'll wait to hear back from support. I gave them the serial number to confirm which model I have.

The learning RF range is very short, if your to far away the broadlink will not see the RF. I used a KR10A held right next to the broadlink RM Pro

The RF chip in the RM is capable of a very wide range (approx. 290Mhz-1GHz IIRC) so any differences are likely to be in firmware only.
