I assume that you guys are all talking about the actual button (ACDB-7000A).
However, I don’t have the button, I only have the receiver (ACDB-7000C) and I want HA to send a signal to it to tell the doorbell to ring.
How on earth do I add this device? I assume that I need to do something similar to how I added my Somfy RTS, by plugging the RFXcom device into a pc and then putting KAKU in learn mode.
But the details… I have no idea… does anyone know?
You don’t need to add the bell device. Just add a switch or input boolean with the rfxtrx platform and make up some valid device code. Your rfx module will broadcast that code. Put the bell in learn mode and switch on your virtual bell. That’s it.
I’ve tried this over a hunderd times but can’t find the right device code.
Can anybody give me a clue what device code I’ve to use?
I followed this manual: RFXCOM RFXtrx - Home Assistant
“*manually add a device, in the options window, an event code can be added in the field Enter event code to add” But I can’t find the right code
I have a kaku doorbell, and when pressing the button, a new device shows up. But when trigger it wit the gui, switch on or off, the chime does nothing.
What to do exactly?
Edit:
I figured it out, with the new switch I got from de rfxcom when pressing the doorbell, press on the chime the pairing button, and then fire the new switch from HA.
