Manually adding 433mhz sensors

Configuration
1

Due to living in a built-up area my RFLink 433 receiver can see lots of other devices that don’t belong to me.

Would it be possible to add my own sensors manually?

In the rflink debug i see -

Here is my current config

rflink:
  port: /dev/ttyUSB0
light:
  - platform: rflink
    automatic_add: false
sensor:
  - platform: rflink
    automatic_add: false
    devices:
      2DE2:
        name: testtemp

my attempting in adding the sensor manually was to add -

“devices:
2de2:
name: testtemp”

but this does not work.

any help would be great

I normally set automatic_add to true to discover the device I’m after, then I turn it off and delete the unwanted entities… I find it much easier this way…

The devices you are after are:

sensor:
  - platform: rflink
    automatic_add: false
    devices:
      oregontemphygro_2de2_temp:
        sensor_type: temperature
      oregontemphygro_2de2_hum:
        sensor_type: humidity
      oregontemphygro_2de2_bat:
        sensor_type: battery

Sorry, I’m a bit stuck with adding the owl micro 433 energy monitor.

Ha ends up starting in safe mode -

2020-07-19 05:09:43 ERROR (SyncWorker_1) [homeassistant.util.yaml.loader] while parsing a block mapping
  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 21, column 5
expected <block end>, but found '<block mapping start>'
  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 98, column 6

  in "/config/configuration.yaml", line 98, column 6. Activating safe mode

when i comment out my owl micro section HA will start fine

     #Owl Micro
     utility_meter:
      daily_energy:
        source: owl_cm180_00b4_kwatt
        cycle: daily
       monthly_energy:
         source: owl_cm180_00b4_kwatt
         cycle: monthly

Here is how HA receives the owl micro data from RFlink

You must be very carefull with the config format. Take care with number of spaces:

    #Owl Micro
    utility_meter:
      daily_energy:
        source: owl_cm180_00b4_kwatt
        cycle: daily
      monthly_energy:
        source: owl_cm180_00b4_kwatt
        cycle: monthly
