Has anyone had any experience with Sonoff RF Wireless Switches?

My two Switches came today.

They pretty much behave the same as the RF Door Sensors I documented here:

Trigger a manual Synology Surveillance Station recording with an RF Door Sensor

I wanted to be able to manually trigger a recording on my Surveillance Station, you can use I/O devices such as the Advantech ADAM-6050. But using I/O devices uses up a device (Camera) licence. So I wanted an alternative option. Luckily there is the “Action Rule” which allows you to trigger a recording using the API. I am using a Sonoff RF Bridge flashed with Tasmota Firmware and a Kerui D026 RF Door / Window Switch in this example. First Step is to create an Action Rule [1] [2] Click on…

They only seem to send one command though as you would expect and the command gets sent when you release your finger. (There might be a low battery command?)

To use them with a Sanoff Bridge you would do something along the lines of

- alias: Trigger Something
  trigger:
    platform: mqtt
    topic: tele/sonoffBridge/RESULT
  condition:
    condition: template
    value_template: '{{ trigger.payload_json.RfReceived.Data == "123456" }}'
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: group.AllLights
