Transmitter is on permanently until first command is sent

Hi,

Great instructions, easy to make. Mine uses a pi zero and is super neat inside a printed case.

Looks like until the first command is sent the Tx is being held high.

My regular remotes for the blinds only work partially/poorly until I have used pi-somfy at least once then they work perfectly again.

This is every day as I reboot it daily on a schedule; might change that to weekly until I get time to look at the code and debug this one but it probably needs a simple write on startup to set the pin to default off state.

That's a surprise.
Have you tried another GPIO, just in case?

Dirty workaround: set the reboot right before a scheduled event (like 2 min before closing your blinds in the evening)
