ok I could not wait and have just tested it…unfortunately it does not work.
Something must be missing…

Mmm ok, the last idea I have today is to change dump: all with dump: raw and use that format for transmission instead. Protocol 6 is too different from what you pasted for the receiving device to understand it

FWIW, I have the new RF Bridge (hacked) up and running with ESPhome in the end. Here’s my ESPhome config for Nexa devices (using ESPhome beta 1.21.0b3 to enable Nexa protocol handling).

NB: beta 1.21.0b2 worked better than b3. Getting random occasional random transmits (lights turning on) with b3.

ok, I played around a bit more.

with these settings I always get a clean result. but the switches unfortunately do nothing.

What is noticeable is that with HOCH (UP) and RUNTER (DOWN) always two 64bit codes are sent and with STOP only one. Nevertheless STOP does not work either.

can it be that the bridge does not send the code that I program…I have found the following entry. unfortunately I do not have an oscilloscope to test this.

**Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):**  Hass.io (Home Assistant 0.103.0, HassOS 2.12, ESPHome 1.14.3) on raspberry pi 3 **ESP (ESP32/ESP8266, Board/Sonoff):**  Sonoff RF bridge ``` platform: ESP8266 board: esp01_1m ``` **Affected component:**  https://esphome.io/components/remote_receiver.html https://esphome.io/components/remote_transmitter.html **Description of problem:** The remote receiver and transmitter seems to not work for these protocols/devices: Nexa, Proove, Anslut The receiver kindof works but gives strange data. Protocol 8 has the correct timings for the bits in this protocol. But he data part on the physical link is coded so that every logical bit is sent as two physical bits, where the second one is the inverse of the first one. ``` '0' => '01' '1' => '10' ``` Example: For the logical datastream 0111, is sent over the air as 01101010. >For more details about these protocols see https://tech.jolowe.se/home-automation-rf-protocols/ and http://tech.jolowe.se/home-automation-rf-protocol-update/ So the received data is a sync bit followed by 64 physical bits (representing 32 logical bits) followed by a pause bit. In the debug view from my esphome receiver I get the same code/data 5 times every time a button is pressed. The remote control sends the code 6 times so this is a bit odd. Also the code/data it shows me is not what I would expect: ``` [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' ``` The data is 64 bits long so my first thought was that this must be the physical bits. But they can never start with 11. The I noticed that it is the same 32 bit pattern repeated twice. So I thought it seems to print the logical bits twice for some reason? But looking at the actual signal sent on the a scope connected to the actual transmitter gives this data: ``` Data from scope (S=Sync bit, P=Pause bit): S 1010010110100101100101100101011001010101010110100110101001010101 P Logical bits: S 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 P 11001100100100010000001101110000 ``` Which is not the same as what ESPHome prints out. So it seems it is receiving something but not the correct data. Sending a code is however not working. I assumed that it was printing the correct data twice and copied the 32 bit code and sent it to the transmitter but did not get a response from the receiver it was set to control. Looking at the 433Mhz spectrum with a RTL-SDR i noticed that the code esphome sends is much shorter that what the original physical remote control is sending. My guess after trying to read the source code for the remote transmitter (https://github.com/esphome/esphome/tree/adf2a463fd60c818aeeeee520f1cf7ac19095da8/esphome/components/remote_transmitter) is that is does not send each bit as two bits when using protocol 8? Also I could not find any reference to the pause bit that is sent after the code? I tried adding wait times, repeats and custom protocol to my esphome yaml but nothing works. For code that seems to send the data correct see: https://github.com/tirithen/Arduino-ProoveSignal **Problem-relevant YAML-configuration entries:** ```yaml remote_receiver: pin: 4 dump: rc_switch tolerance: 50 filter: 4us idle: 4ms remote_transmitter: pin: 5 carrier_duty_percent: 100% switch: - platform: template name: anslut_2072266 turn_on_action: - remote_transmitter.transmit_rc_switch_raw: # 1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101 code: '11010101010110100110101001010101' #protocol: 8 repeat: times: 6 wait_time: 10250us protocol: pulse_length: 250 sync: [1, 10] zero: [1, 5] one: [1, 1] inverted: false ``` **Logs (if applicable):**  ``` [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' [22:24:22][D][remote.rc_switch:243]: Received RCSwitch Raw: protocol=8 data='1101010101011010011010100101010111010101010110100110101001010101' ``` **Additional information and things you've tried:** I started out with a wemos d1 mini with 433mhz RX and TX modules attached and tried to get things working on that but since I could not get it working I thought I had some hardware problem with the transmitter and ordered a Sonoff RF bridge to rule that out.

If you’re trying to communicate with Nexa/Anslut/Proove-devices you should go with ESPHome beta 1.21.0b1 (or above) as it brings the Nexa protocol. There seems to be something of a mismatch between how other RF-devices communicate and Nexa-devices.

See Nexa 433MHz using Sonoff RF-bridge modified with the direct hack (and ESPHome)
and Nexa 433MHz RF protocol by GruffyPuffy · Pull Request #2037 · esphome/esphome · GitHub

Details on how you should use the nexa protocol in ESPHome are available in the beta docs at Remote Receiver — ESPHome and Remote Transmitter — ESPHome

Expello · January 19, 2022, 8:45am

thanks for the tip, beta is on it, but with the NEXA protocol the log remains empty…no matter how many times I press the buttons.

unfortunately, i do not know from which manufacturer the motors for the shading are…they are re-labeled and the actual manufacturer is not known.

alans · January 19, 2022, 9:03am

I guess your equipment communicates using a different protocol then. Raw would be the way to go, or better yet, finding a detailed description of the protocol used.

mateine · January 19, 2022, 10:10am

Are you sure yor transmitter works? Can you test it with some other receiver?

Expello · January 19, 2022, 10:38am

you mean the transmitter from the bridge?

I have unfortunately (or fortunately) no other devices with 433mhz.

Should not what he sends also be visible in the log?
I think so…the code that is received again immediately after sending fits.

Ok, then it works. I assume you also tried to put it right next to the device you want to control, just to make sure it is not a range issue.
I just remembered something similar happened to m. For me it worked using raw codes, to which I added a -1000 at the very end.

Expello · January 19, 2022, 1:36pm

No, it is not a range problem.

I have opened the remote control…maybe someone can do something with it. The processor is interesting…in the data sheet there is nothing to find about 433 mHz.

https://www.ti.com/product/MSP430G2332#description

ok, I was able to locate the manufacturer…have written to them to see if they can send me details of their 433 mHz protocol.

Hi guys

At the beginning I have to mention that I am completely new in this topic and know nothing about the rf communication!

I bought sonoff fr bridge and then notice that I have this new version of the board. I tried to follow Schmurtz setup so I did soldering and then cat 3 lines at the back and 1 at front and I then I realized I don’t have python so decided to go with esphome . I flashed my bridge and I see a lot of communication in the log but have no clue if the reading is ok.

In 15 seconds I received around 700lines , data looks like this.

As far as Im aware I have only two devices which send rf communications, weather station with one remote sensor so not sure why I get so many data and its very hard to get anything from the log

I also checked my LED rf remote control and I see it in the log but I get 3 or 4 lines when I press any button once

My questions are:
-Is it ok to go with esphome when I cut the top line as well??
-if it is ok, can you review my data to check if it is correct please?
-My main goal is to read temperature from my temperature sensor, can you advise here what to do with this raw data in order to get temperature ?

thanks in advance

@mateine I am so delighted that there is a custom way to get RFLink onto the new V2.2 board.

However I cannot get the device flashed. Neither tasmotizer nor esptool.py are working. Getting me a timeout error but the FTDI chip is working with other ESP. Was it wrong to first disconnect the USB wires on board before flashing?

Here is my board after following the direct hack mod:

I would be very grateful for your help. thank you!

mateine · February 22, 2022, 7:30pm

Cutting the usb lines is just because many chargers will short them and you are now using those pins to communicate with the transmitter and receiver. I.e: not a mistake.

There’s 3 things i can think of that can go wrong:

Failed to keep the pairing button pressed before and while powering it on (connecting the ftdi to your pc
The resistor leads are shorting something
The rx and tx are not crossed: rx of the sonoff should go to tx of the ftdi and vise versa
The ftdi is not on 3.3v but on 5v

Hopefully it is just the first one and nothing burned

By the way: pressing the pairing button will pull gpio0 low and put it in programming mode.

mateine · February 22, 2022, 7:31pm

Btw: the the test pads in the back exposing gpio12 and 14 work well. I added a thermometer to the sonoff there.

robr · February 22, 2022, 7:42pm

@mateine thank you so much! I carefully tried all above and did a A/B test because I have one additional unmodified board. On both devices I am unable to flash with tasmotizer nor esptool. On both I get a timeout. I can see that the board is in flash mode. But during flash progress it does not respond.

I bought a new FTDI adapter. That may be my last resort. If someone is selling the RF Bridge with RFLINK Firmware I am more than happy to buy it and donate 20EUR to the coffee cup of @schmurtz

mateine · February 22, 2022, 8:01pm

Ok much luck!
You may want to check the tutorials for previous board revisions, maybe you find some extra tips there.
Yeah @schmurtz deserves it. His pics were much superior than mine

schmurtz · February 22, 2022, 10:40pm

@Expello sometimes a remote sacrifice is a good way to automate something I mean you plug an ESP to simulate button press on the original remote (but I admit that the challenge is less interesting).

@robr Do you see something in reception on your FTDI adapter ? Are you sure to press the button during the USB plugin ? The ESP must boot with the button pressed otherwise it is not in programming mode.

Hi Materine, interested by this “small web tool to visualize the raw dumps” !
If you have it somewhere… Thanks

Viking · February 24, 2022, 9:21pm

I wonder why ITEAD thinks it’s a good idea to design their new board so that they loose all of us as future customers ? It seems they’re doing their outmost to try to prevent us from using their products.
Why not instead offer a version with a Portisch like FW already flashed?
I think we should abandon companies who fail to offer non-proprietary products. Everything should be open source.
