Assistance with 433mhz blinds remote

Hardware

Hi all

I am trying to integrate some “non smart” blinds into HA.
They are “ComfyShade” braded and use a 433.92 mhz remote.

I have tried learning the remote with Broadlink RM4 RF but the broadlink app and the HA integration cannot reliably learn the code, and when it does, no response is received from the blinds when broadcasting it.

I suspect I will have the same luck with something like RF link.

My alternative is to butcher the remote, and use an ESP32 to actuate the buttons on the remote. This is obviously more work and requires me to hide the remote somwhere.

does anybody have any better suggestions?

From their online doco, it looks like they are a rebranded Neo Smart Blinds. Neo has Smart controller. You can read more HERE

Searching on Neo confirm they use rolling codes hence why you can’t reliably learn the codes.

Thanks for that

Looks like a solution, although the recent discussion shows that the integration might not work on the last version of HA, or is potentially buggy.

I will give it a try
