RF Bridge flashed with Tasmota - How to use with Home assistant?

Strive8171 · August 10, 2025, 2:16pm

Hello all,

I bought a KC868-AG, then flashed it with Tasmota successfully.

In Tasmota, I could receive signals as following:

08:32:51.815 MQT: tele/kc868-ag/RESULT = {"Time":"2025-08-10T08:32:51","RfReceived":{"Data":"0x15C3D5","Bits":24,"Protocol":1,"Pulse":251}}
08:32:54.265 MQT: tele/kc868-ag/RESULT = {"Time":"2025-08-10T08:32:54","RfReceived":{"Data":"0x15C3D9","Bits":24,"Protocol":1,"Pulse":251}}
08:32:55.616 MQT: tele/kc868-ag/RESULT = {"Time":"2025-08-10T08:32:55","RfReceived":{"Data":"0x15C3D4","Bits":24,"Protocol":1,"Pulse":250}}
08:32:58.115 MQT: tele/kc868-ag/RESULT = {"Time":"2025-08-10T08:32:58","RfReceived":{"Data":"0x15C3D2","Bits":24,"Protocol":1,"Pulse":252}}

However, I have no idea how to use these in home assistant. All the guides available are about Sonoff RF Bridge, the structure of the signals is completely different, I couldn’t figure out how to adapt them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It is explained here.

Sorry friend, I didn’t make it crystal clear. It is my fault.
I don’t have any problem integrating Tasmota into Home Assistant. The RF bridge itself is already in Home Assistant.

What I don’t know is what to do after RF Bridge flashed with Tasmota is already in Home Assistant.
I am supposed to create switches and binary sensors from the RF signals received by Tasmota. All the guides online are for Sonoff RF Bridge, they have a completely different structure of the received payload. So I don’t know how to create these switches and binary sensors.

Hoping for someone who uses the same RF bridge that could share their configs.

The entities created by tasmota are through mqtt. You should find the entities it created under the mqtt entities. Click on the mqtt integration from the integrations page.

Depending on the type of entity it may show in different ways.

Tasmota Buttons will be added as Home Assistant automation triggers when SetOption73 is enabled. No binary_sensor entity will be created. You can find the available automation triggers on the device screen.
