I’ve got a separate Python demuxer script for decoding of the codes and mapping them to actual things – it’s MUCH easier to maintain a dictionary of the codes and their purposes outside of a hard-coded ESPHome YAML. The ESPHome device acts as just a translator, reading the 433MHz code from the air and passing it to Home Assistant so the Python script can do the heavy lifting. See this thread for the detail: Sonoff RF Bridge. Strategies for receiving data
If you’re doing more than two 433MHz devices in your house, I highly recommend the demuxing strategy. It’s fast, easy and completely maintainable. I’ve been using Sonoff RF Bridges to handle the translation from 433MHz to Home Assistant and they work great but these small signal readers seem to offer much more configuration/customization.
This is not a bad suggestion. I’ll play aroudn with this and see if I can get it to work. Thank you!
