Multiple RFLink Devices

Configuration
1

Hi All

I need to add another RFLink based device on 868Mhz to my current Hassio setup which is using the built in RFLink component for my 433.92Mhz devices

All is great for my 433 devices but am trying to get my 868Mhz device to work at the same time and am hitting a brick wall

What I have done so far is copy rflink.py as a custom component and renamed it to rflink868.py and added into my configuration.yaml with the required port setting etc

I have changed rflink868.py so the domain reflects as rflink868 and see a mssage in my log that I am usng rflink868 custom component and may cause isues etc etc so it is loading but does not display any devices - unfortunately I only have my projector screen remote and no other devices to test

I can detect the device correctly using the RFLink debug but are not detected when plugged into hassio

I am going to test just the 868 device and see if it works with the built in component and will feedback

Hi,

I have exactly the same issue that I have both Rflinks. I actually switched to Domoticz due to this.

Did you get this working? Did you contact the author of rflink.py to see if a better solution could be made?

Best regards,

Is there any solution yet? My setup also holds 433/868MH RFlink devices and I’m currently limited to only one of them…

domoticz is no option as I’m currently trying to migrate from there (domoticz has very strange behaviour and stopped working quiet often so I had to manually fix everything…)

So, I got a little waylaid on other projects so never moved forward with this rout, however I started down the mqqt route by adding a nodemcu to my RFLInk devices bur that stalled due to other commitments

Good timing however as I need to expand my range of my 433 RFLink so am currently testing a Sonoff BR with OpenMQTTGateway on it for my 433 devices

Will post how I go as I will be revisiting all the above as I am moving from HASSIO on a PI to Homeassistant in docker and as such will be sticking my dockerhost in a cupboard so need my RFLink devices to be remote and best way for this would be MQTT
