Yes. From what I can tell most use style 1 on this page: https://home-assistant.io/getting-started/devices/ This allows for using include files seen in the cookbook section. (If you use style 2 everything has a unique name with no dashes)
So in style 1 there is one category for switches, lights, groups etc. So if you have multiple switches, you simply add the dashes before each platform under the switch section. (don’t forget spacing)
OK. Now I have a major concern in regards to the magnetic door sensor.
If the sensor can only send a signal when the door is open, how do I know when the door is close?
Without any signal when the door is close, I cannot use it for certain automations such as…
- Alert me when the window is not close during rainy days.
- Switch on light when the door is open and switch off light when the door is close
- Alert me to close the window when outdoor temperature is hotter than indoor and vice versa.
I cannot use the off timer automation used for motion sensors because it does not reflect the real situation.
Do any of you know any 433Mhz door sensors that have open and close signals?
the sensor you have is an alarm sensor.
for Obvious reasons you only want to be warned when a window or door is opened by a burglar.
he probably wont close it anyway.
if there are simple doorautomationsensors with 433 mhz i dont know.
i know you can use a simple sensor on an arduino (magnetic, PIR, distance, power, etc.)
but you need an arduino(or nodeMCU) somewhere in the neibourhood from your windows(s) and door(s)

I think you want a few of these…

I found this one. According to the title, it can detect open and close state and base on the feedback, it works with RFXcom433E and Jeedom so I assume this will work with the gateway as well. I am waiting for confirmation from the seller before purchasing this.

I received this magnetic door sensors today and confirm that it does send out 3 different codes when the door/window is open, close or tampered.

Very interesting, I think these will be the next ones I will buy
hello guys.
i think that is a good and cheap idea for the control some things in our home.
now i have a question, i want to buy a rf switch for change my actual swich wall, and i want to control its via RF. what is the best and cheap choice?
can u give me a link?
I need a european switch because i from Portugal.
Hello,
Take a look at this bill of material
The plugs are compatible with rcswitch

hello @1technophile
but you dont understand my question, i want to buy HALL switchs, not sockets.
can you tell me a cheap and a good choice for buy hall switchs?
I’ve got the RF components up and running in HA based on @brusc tutorial. While it works great, it looks like crap and my OCD is driving me nuts having these components and wire flinging around. Anyone have a 3d printer model that I could use to clean up the aesthetics? Or how do you guys handle the extra wires and components?
@1technophile i have this in my home.
and i want so change that for switch rf, you suggest anyones? cheap…
These are running in my home for few months and they are great
Interesting, are they battery powered or 220V powered? In the last case I suppose there is 3 connectors behind, two for the power and one to go to the lamp? on the picture I see only two screws
it only has 1 line in and 1 line out (or 2 or 3)
so it must be batterypowered.
@LLalev is it possible that you post a bild from the inside?
but that switch needs how many wires? my standard switch only has two wires.
other question: when you pressed the button phisically the home assistand knows the state? if is turned on or turned off?
i I thought of another alternative using this:
Replaced my normal switch and attached this command to the wall.
So the home assistant always knew the state of my lamp whether it was on or off.
Both if I command by the home assistant, but also if I command physically by pressing the button on the wall.

that is more pretty solution, and more cheaps switchs
but i need to know if i pressed phisically button, if home assistant knows the state of swith, if is turned on or turned off

it is 433 mhz.
so it sends a code you an use in hass to change states.
off course it is possible that hass misses a state change and will be in the wrong state.
@ReneTode still about rf switch sensor… when press the phisically button HA knows if is turn on or off?
