Esphome-cc1101 - unable to transmit or receive

ESPHome
1

So im running this for the esphome-cc1101 433mhz transceiver.

dbuezas/esphome-cc1101 Public

I have connected my my cc1101 as per the YAML, board is below

CC1101 Wireless Transceiver Module with SMA Antenna For Arduino 433MHZ (amptech.co.nz)

to 2x ESP8266 (WeeMos D1 Mini)

So, 1 ESP has 1 cc1101 attached, the other esp also has a cc1101 as above attached.

I have installed the library and flashed the default YAML in the REPO to both ESPs.

When opening one ESP, and choosing the Garage binary sensor,

And on another device opening the other ESP and choosing the Garage Button,

When I press the button, the Garage sensor does not change state.

Any ideas on this one?
This is all stock, untouched configuration from the repo, the library and YAML is all stock.

Thanks!

So if I open the LOG on the ESP im using as a receiver, I can see its receiving the RAW code, which seems to spit out a random value each time. The code for the value being sent it.

code: [415,-300,370,-300,375,-300,378,-300,378,-300,379,-300,405]

But still, my output is not activating.

Is there a way to just make this a static code? Like 100?

Thanks

What is your expected result, exaclty?
How do you assess that the binary sensor does not change value on the receiving side?

4

Im just viewing the entity state in HA

5

Per ESPHome

Did you check the history of the sensor?

6

Yes, but not once did it turn on.

Paste the log, please

Ok sorry ive just tried to reporoduce and im no longer getting the code received by the receiver.

In the log of my transmitter, It states to be sending the command.

Receiver is pretty random, indeed.
Are you sure it’s wired properly? Otherwise, I’m clueless

12

I am 100% sure it is wired correctly, ive been over it 3 times haha.

I’m lost.

hi
im trying to do something similar on my HA setup, control the garage door which is RF based.

i have the transmitter / receiver code working with the CC1101, it spits to the console all the RF codes it receives from many sensors in my home and from my neighbour’s…

how can i find the code pattern for my garage remote ?

15

Just push the button and you will see the received raw code…

16

the logs spits 10 lines every second…
how can i distinguish anything to see its garage door ?
is there some specific pattern to it

17

It’s the one that is different from the previous ones.
You could also take your receiver and remote to some place, where there are no other transmitters nearby.
Or try with:
