How to configure logger?

Configuration
1

I have tried

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.light.rflink: debug
    homeassistant.components.sensor.rflink: debug
    homeassistant.components.rflink.light: debug
    homeassistant.components.rflink.switch: debug
    rflink: debug
    rflink.light: debug
    rflink.switch: debug

Still nothing useful in the logs

2

Assuming rflink is an integration (core or 3rd party) this should be it:

logger:
  default: error
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.rflink: debug
3

it is a core, but not maintained, integration

4

Then if it supports debug logging the config I posted should work.

5

That’s my usual config for debug:

# Logger
logger:
  logs:
    # rflink: debug
    # homeassistant.components.rflink: debug
    # custom_components.rflink: debug
    # custom_components.rflink.cover: debug

BTW rflink: debug is just for the library, not the integration.

IIRC components (light, cover,…) don’t have many logs messages.

I see in the log the data is received

but the entity is no longer created

  - platform: rflink
    device_defaults:
      fire_event: true
      signal_repetitions: 3
    devices:
      newkaku_03a0b800_3:
        name: boventapo
      newkaku_03a0b800_2:
        name: bovenTV

don’t know since when, but the logs are not very useful. They show what is received, but nothing about the entities.
