RFLink entities becoming unavailable after restart

Hardware
1

I have recently bought a RFLink system to replace my aging Telldus for 433MHz devices. Connecting it to HA was no problem at all. To get the switches/dimmers to be recognized in HA by the rflink integration, I had to send a On signal from the original remote (or Telldus TellStick Net) … however it seems I need to do this after every restart of HA, as they are otherwise unavailable.

Is there a way around this?

(When all is up and running it is working very well…)

Thanks,
RD

Which is your rflink configuration?
Do you have configured your devices or are you using the automatic_add config?
I’m not sure but I think that you need to have the devices in your configuration to restore its states.

Indeed, I have this in my switch.yaml

 - platform: rflink
    device_defaults:
      fire_event: true
      signal_repetitions: 2

Thanks a lot to both of you, that explains it!

Do you know if I can both add devices manually as above, and keep the automatic_add config? (I’ll try it in a few hours myself, so if no one else replies I’ll update this post with my findings. :slight_smile:

Yes, you can have both in your configuration.
