Can Home Assistant Listen to 433MHz Remotes?

So for my next example, I actually use a door/window sensor to turn on a light. In my real-world example, the door sensor turns on a Z-Wave light, but I’ll adopt the example for a RPI-RF switch instead.

Use Pilight to receive the codes as stated above and create 2 automations, one for the door opening and the other for the door closing.

automations/pilight_door1_opening.yaml

alias: "pilight_door1_opened"
trigger:
  platform: event
  event_type: pilight_received
  event_data:
    protocol: ev1527
    uuid: 0000-b8-27-eb-4ffabe
    unitcode: 355554
    state: opened
action:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: input_boolean.closet_door

automations/pilight_door1_closed.yaml

alias: "pilight_door1_closed"
trigger:
  platform: event
  event_type: pilight_received
  event_data:
    protocol: ev1527
    uuid: 0000-b8-27-eb-4ffabe
    unitcode: 879842
    state: opened
action:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_off
    entity_id: input_boolean.closet_door

The above Pilight automations trigger a fake switch (input_boolean) in HASS. Now we need to create this input_boolean switch. We use this fake switch in HASS so you can track the status of the door:

input_boolean:
  closet_door:
    name: Closet Door
    initial: off
    icon: mdi:glassdoor

Now, we need to create automations that actually send the RPI-RF codes to turn on/off the light whenever the input_boolean switch is turned on (opened) and off (closed):

automations/closet_door_opened.yaml

alias: "closet_door_opened"
trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: input_boolean.closet_door
  from: 'off'
  to: 'on'
action:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.rpirf_closet_light

automations/closet_door_closed.yaml

alias: "closet_door_closed"
trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: input_boolean.closet_door
  from: 'on'
  to: 'off'
action:
  - service: homeassistant.turn_off
    entity_id: switch.rpirf_closet_light

Now, create the RPI-RF switch in HASS:

rpirf_closet_light:
  #Closet Light
  code_off: 28890
  code_on: 28881
  protocol: 1
  pulselength: 200
  signal_repetitions: 15

Save everything and restart HASS. You should now have a light that turns on when you open the door, and off when you close the door.
