So, I’ve been playing around for the past month or so, trying to set up this integration. It has been with varying levels of succes, which is mostly related to coverage of the dongle with some HR92’s showing up intermittently. I think this might be caused by the fact that my SSM-D2 is plugged directly into my USB3 port on the mini-pic running HA OS. I will try to get this better later on, but my main focus is now to get the basis working.
Most recently I added my Itho-Daaldrop CVE-S Optima into the mix and (through eavesdropping?) I also found the RF remote in the packet logs. What I tried to set up was a clone or impersonation of the current RF remote, but the WIKI is not very clear on how to achieve this. So I went the trial and error route. At one point I was able to see a “remote” entity is home assistant, but it didn’t behave as I hoped. Learning the commands didn’t go as expected with the ventilation box not responding to it and being unable to learn more than one command. So I put it away/aside for a bit.
Now I’m trying to get back into it and somewhere, or somehow I lost the remote entity and I can’t seem to get it back. I still have 2 sensor entities: a battery state entity and an OEM_code entity for the ID that is the remote, but the remote itself is nowhere to be found. Making it impossible to fiddle and tinker with commands. I don’t know what I have changed between it being available and not working and losing it, because some time has passed where I put it aside and was busy with other things, but still tinkering with Ramses_cc for other things.
Below is my configuration.yaml. The 37: is the CVE, the 29: is the RF remote. The commands for low, auto and high were simply copy/pasted from the packet log (and removing the counter that in there) in an effort to amend the configuration as stated in the WIKI. But this is the part where I was struggling before to understand what is/was needed to simply clone or impersonate a remote.I didn’t have it in there before, when I first tried to have the remote faked. I was trying various things, hoping it would fix stuff, but unfortunately, it didn’t. I’ve also tried reinstalling the whole integration and various variations on cache, state and schema restore, eavesdrop on/off, enforce known list and what not, but still nothing:

#edited for correct formatiing. appologies.
I found out the entity for the remote was gone when I tried the service call to copy a command. it would give me an instant checkmark without pushing a button on the physical remote. it gives an error in the log:
"
2023-12-18 11:52:39.048 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.helpers.service] Referenced entities remote.29_057880 are missing or not currently available"
Also, “03:255542: # Thermostaat zone 05 Kantoor” is a HCF82 temperature sensor/thermostat without manual temperature setting from Honeywell. It shows up in the logs. but the entities in HA never become available.
