After using it for few months a couple of these sensors doesn’t send out any code when I close the door. Leave it for few more days and suddenly they work again. I am not sure is the sensor faulty or due to other reason. Anyone else having this issue?
Hello friend @masterkenobi i bought one yesterday , when it arrived , i will test sensor, after i said the results. But that happens with your 5 sensors? Or only one?
I sometimes leave a laptop nearby with a “codesniffer” (arduino with 433mhz running ReceiveDemo_Simple from RCSwitch) so I can see all the codes transmitted nearby. This is how I determine if it is due to distance, interference, or if it is not transmitting at all.
Works really well. Also has tamper feature. Using tamper feature as a toggle in home assistant. Differnt code is sent. Sensors stay on everyone’s night stand. Little squeeze of the sensor and toggle light off or on.
The other sensors from the security system should work as well.
I purchased all my bridge parts from gearbest including 433mhz receiver. The receiver covers my house if in the center . I can make it outside on one end that doesn’t have brick. I bought everyone they had. This one works best with loaded 433 antenna. Although not much better than just a piece of wire.
It works independently because it uses MQTT. That means, anything that can subscribe to the MQTT broker can make use of the 433Mhz signals it receives.
yes exactly. basically, you need to install an MQTT broker (server). It can be on the Pi or on any server. The 433toMQTTto433 gateway will receive signal from the sensors and then publish the signal code to the MQTT broker. Any computer (such as the Pi that runs HA) that subscribe to the MQTT topic can make use of it.
It work like a charm, it’s a battery powered 433MHz remote with 1 to 3 touch button but in the shape of a wall switch.
It send an 433MHz signal whenever pressed. The quality is very good
Nop, it’s a simple push button, it send 1 code per button and the toggle is handle in HA.
I find it better this way, it won’t be disturb by interaction from other remote or change in HA web UI.
I use an automation to toggle light/switch/etc… when the button is pressed. For example:
