RFLINK Issue

I am using RFLink but it seems to have added:

  • owl_intuition_000a_update_time

    • owl_intuition_000a_watt

    • owl_intuition_010a_update_time

    • owl_intuition_010a_watt

    • owl_intuition_020a_update_time

    • owl_intuition_020a_watt

    • owl_intuition_030a_update_time

    • owl_intuition_030a_kwatt

I edited configuration.yaml but these are appearing in the dashboard despite the fact I have set them all to ignored.
I can’t find where to delete them from.

Do you have the automatic_add enabled for your RFLink sensors?
This seems to me RFLink is catching some device measures and is creating new devices for every signal.

You can also ignore devices at platform configuration:

I added the devices to the
" ignore_devices: #list of other peoples devices found by the system
- yw_sensor_0e1e96*
- owl_intuition_000a_update_time
- owl_intuition_000a_watt
- owl_intuition_010a_update_time
- owl_intuition_010a_watt
- owl_intuition_020a_update_time
- owl_intuition_020a_watt
- owl_intuition_030a_update_time
- owl_intuition_030a_kwatt
"
But they didn’t dissapear they just came back. Turning automatic_add to
" automatic_add: false" worked

There must be something wrong because it shouldn’t have created the devices. Maybe is your config or maybe something has changed in the RFLink library.

By the way, you could have used the expression:

rflink:
  port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-id01234
  ignore_devices:
    - yw_sensor_0e1e96*
    - owl_intuition_*

In any case, I’m glad you managed to fix it.

anyone still using rflink? just checked my radio switches looks like they are not working. When I hit switches in HA, it takes like 5 seconds to get switch to operate and reflect bulb ON, but no radio signal from my arduino bridge. Checked devices list and device is connected to rpi, there is no probs with it.

Mine still works.

Your bulb turns on, or not ?

Mine still working, Arduino on RF Link 1.48
If you go into the HA full log you should see the radio communication for the RFLink
I am using HA * Core 2023.11.2

  • Supervisor 2023.11.3
  • Operating System 11.1
  • Frontend 20231030.2

I can control my Pi with my 433.92 radio fob and also I can control my yale siren using a switch in HA.

The only time mine ever breaks is if I disconnect things and accidentally connect to the wrong USB port.
Also something worth adding is that mine is running with a USB powered hub as I have HA running an SSD drive also. RPI has some challenges with power so it might be just too many USB devices connected?

unfortunately not

ok, I will checked logs:

Logger: rflink.protocol
Source: components/rflink/init.py:572
First occurred: 20:44:15 (5 occurrences)
Last logged: 20:44:35

acknowledge timeout

Your RFLink is not replying the acknowledge message. That should not be happening and must be something wrong.
I would suggest you to check all the rflink log to search for some clue.

But if you want, you can disable the wait for the knowledge message in your RFLink configuration:
