Can I use USB C1101 RF Transceiver with HA for rflink

Configuration
1

I have got this USB RF Transceiver device which is named as “433Mhz CC1101 USB Wireless RF Transceiver Module 10mW USB UART MAX232 RS232 CF”

So my question is can I plug in this USB device directly to HA and configure rflink to control devices in home ? Do I need to buy extra hardware ? Or this device is completely useless for HA rflink ?

If I can use this device on HA with rflink, how do I configure ?

I know about sonoff and broadlink RF bridges but they work over wi-fi. I’m looking for some configuration which directly connects to HA server

No you can’t.
RFLink integration only communicate with the RFLink firmware. And the RFLink firmware is implemented to run in an Arduino board (or similar).
Maybe you can use this transceiver in a ESP board with some RFLink implementation (there are a few in the net). Some of these are implemented over MQTT protocol but I’m not familiar with the ESP implementations.

Thanks that answer helped. And this device support UART. So is it possible to send UART commands to this from HA. Happy to explore and write code of it’s a feasible solution
