RFXCom and Somfy (invalid device)

Configuration
1

Hi,

i am fairly new to HA but making progress (and it is real fun!).
Yesterday i spent some hours trying to integrate my somfy sun covers with my RFXCOM 433e module.

Using RFXMNGR with windows i was able to setup the remote and to use the hardware module to control the somfy covers.

09.05.2021 07:53:07:712= RFY command: 0C 1A 00 27 04 04 04 04 06 00 00 00 00

Packettype        = Interface Message
subtype           = RFY remote:0 ID:04 04 04 unitnbr:4 rfu1:0 rfu2:1 rfu3:3

Here is my configuration.yaml part:

rfxtrx:
  device: /dev/ttyUSB0
  automatic_add: true
  devices:
    "071a000004040404":

(from what i have read: the device id should be built correctly).

BUT still after restarting HA:

2021-05-09 21:29:29 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.rfxtrx.sensor] Invalid device: 071a0004040404

2021-05-09 21:29:29 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.rfxtrx.cover] Invalid device: 071a0004040404

(i am able to write successfully to device: /dev/ttyUSB0 )

Nothing is showing up in HomeAssistant (of course).

Has anyone an idea where to look and what to try ?

Just an addition: The RFXCOM itself is working! Picked up data from a weather station.
Just to provide the info that it is not the device itself…
It has to be a problem with the somfy device id…

SOLVED:

Whatever i did…i have no idea! After several restarts now… at least 6 oder 7… NOW the error is gone and the switch is visible! And most important: IT IS WORKING :slight_smile:
