Hi all.

Has anyone successfully used a single CUL to control both 868Mhz devices such as FHT and 433Mhz, such as HomeEasy using the same CUL device and switching the frequency through FHEM or am I looking at separate CUL devices an 868Mhz and a 433Mhz tuned devices?

thanks

It is mentioned briefly in the wiki http://www.fhemwiki.de/wiki/CUL under Sendefrequenz but I think it is generally accepted as not a good idea
No idea where to look for further information on that, sorry.
Feel free to follow up in German if you prefer

There are two issues why we discourage one CUL for different frequencies:
- the antenna itself and the link between the antenna and the CC1101 (which is more than just wire) is optimized for the advertized frequency, resulting in a very short range while the CC1101 is switched to the wrong frequency.
- while switched to the wrong frequency you wont receive data on the original one. Supporting such setups is a nightmare..
