RFlink: Capture external commands from original Somfy remote

Configuration
1

Hello.
My RFLink is working fine with my Somfy blinds.
There is 1 really annoying issue: It does not change the blind state upon physical remote commands (original Somfy remote).
Turning on debug clearly shows that the rflink layer is aware of the commands (it will say which blind was used and the status that was set)
But no event is triggering and I couldn’t find a way to update the status of the blind.

I added “fire_event” configuration and it will only fire when the event is initiated via HASS.

Is there a way to reflect external changes within HASS?
Thanks.

You can create an alias for the cover with the ID from the remote:

cover:
  - platform: rflink
    devices:
      RTS_0A1220_0:
        name: my_cover
        aliases:
          - rts_31223f_01

where RTS_0A1220_0 must be your HA cover ID (the one you control and have configured in HA) and rts_31223f_01 must be the ID from the remote (the one you see in your logs).

This way cover state will change with remote commands without triggering any action in HA.

Brilliant! Thanks!
Works like a charm.
I even added an additional alias to catch the “master” button that controls multiple blinds.
