RF Door Sensor Decoding Problem

Configuration
1

Hi all,
I’m seriously struggling to work out what the “data” part of the received string in my RF Bridge is. I’ve flashed the bridge with Tasmota and can see the output in the console but it doesn’t look like the same format in Dr Zzs tutorial I have been following.
When I open the door I get
21:31:29 MQT: tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT = {“RfRaw”:{“Data”:“AA B1 03 0553 01C8 3674 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100110011012 55”}}
21:31:29 MQT: tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT = {“RfRaw”:{“Data”:“AA B1 03 054B 01D2 36BA 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100110011012 55”}

And when I close it I get
21:32:54 MQT: tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT = {“RfRaw”:{“Data”:“AA B1 03 0554 01C6 36BA 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100101011012 55”}}
21:32:55 MQT: tele/RF_Bridge/RESULT = {“RfRaw”:{“Data”:“AA B1 03 0567 01BC 3692 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100101011012 55”}}

Any ideas what I should add to the payload in the config file?

Any help would be appreciated as I have completely run out of ideas.

I would imagine that the open payload is :
“AA B1 03 054B 01D2 36BA 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100110011012 55”
and the closed payload is:
“AA B1 03 0567 01BC 3692 01011010011001010101010101100101101010100101011012 55”

That is just a hunch though (I haven’t gotten my bridge from china yet) so just try that and mix it up if it doesn’t work

Thanks for the reply.
I did try that but there is quite a lot of variable parts to it. From the reading I have done it looks like there are some synch data, length etc. included in the string.

Any other ideas anyone?

Did you sort these door sensors out?

Hi Will,
Yes, I did. I started the instructions again from the beginning and I believe the problem was resolved when I reflashed the RF Bridge. From that point onwards I got a clean output from door sensor and was able to trigger everything OK.

Glad you got it sorted. I was going to say it looked like you had RfRaw set to ON which gives them long data chunks. I find it easier to use RfRaw set to off.

I don’t know how you have it all setup, but I found HA doesn’t keep the status of an mqtt binary sensor during a restart. It’s long winded but this is how I got around it:
