Adafruit RFM69HCW with ESP32 board?

ESPHome
1

Hi, new to the community, new to esphome, and the last time I soldered was in highschool ( that should tell you everything about me. lol). I would like to know if there is a way for me to set up and configure an Adafruit RFM69HCW Transceiver Radio Breakout - 433 MHz (RadioFruit)
[ID:3071] with an Adafruit ESP32 Feather V2 with Headers - 8MB Flash + 2 MB PSRAM (STEMMA QT) [ID:5900] board? The breakout pins are confusing with identifying the interrupt and chip select pins, but I ran into some compiling errors in both ESPHome and Arduino. I think the Arduino errors are because the radio head libraries do not work with that board, but is it even possible to configure the YAML to support those two? I simply want to be able to have it send some codes to our blinds in our house to open at noon and close at sunset.

Thanks in advance for any help.

This would be my second project. My first was dealing with stemma connectors, and it took me forever to figure out how to set the pin high.

Isn’t that a LoRA module? The data sheet seems to imply it is optimised for LoRA - the SX1231 is a LoRA radio.

If you just want bare bones 433mHz there are other options and ESPHome components that support them. The components expect a seperate transmitter and receiver and use a single pin each for data.

Thanks, I will take a look at the kit… as I also want to set up an IR transmitter in the basement, so that will also help me understand what to do there.
