Hi all,
Recent switched over from Domoticz to HA, so still on a learning curve.
Here is what i am struggling with at the moment.
We have a chicken coop that needs to be closed at night to prevent the Fox getting his meal after dark.
So we installed a coop door automation device with a remote. This is just a normal PT2262 protocol device. Nothing fancy.
Home assistant has a RFXTRX USB device (RFXCOM) for integration with such devices.
Its running without issues controlling other devices (like KAKU switches).
For pairing we enabled Automatic Add on the Rfxtrx and we paired the remote of the Coop Door into HA without issues. Created an automation and life was good. Well the chickens where save at night, lets put it like that.
But at some point there was a power outage on the Chicken coop and we had to pair the remote of the coop door again with the device. From there al things went tits up.
Now i am at a total loss of how this RFX integration is supposed to work. There is a lot of info out there but most of it is outdated because of the changed made to HA in recent years.
i changed the log options to:
logger:
default: warning
logs:
homeassistant.components.dsmr: debug
dsmr_parser: debug
homeassistant.components.rfxtrx: debug
RFXtrx: debug
If i check my logs and use the original remote i get this:

What i am sending with my automation is this : (its on 5 times repeat to make sure the coop door closes as there is no feedback).

The above used to work without issues.
here is the automation, but this might be totally off as i have been trying everything to get some movement in the door:
/config/automations.yaml

I am completely in the Dark and need some help to get me on the way to fix this. There might be one night that i forget to close the Coop door and that night will release me from all duty’s regarding the chickens…
Setup is:
RP 3, running on USB stick
Home Assistant Core 2022.6.2
Home Assistant Supervisor 2022.05.3
Home Assistant OS 8.1
