RFXtrx: no entity of RFY / Somfy blind is created [solved]

Configuration
1

Hi ,

I’m trying to configure my SOMFY blinds in HA, all devices are already defined with RFXmngr but I have still trouble to get access and I don’t I have any idea about the root cause.

I’m using version 2021.8.8 in a docker environment, my rfxtrx cfg is:

rfxtrx:
  device: /dev/ttyUSB0
  automatic_add: true
  devices:
      071a000008c1c21: # room1
      071a000008c1c41: # room2

After restart (i.e.docker down / up) of this configuration I can see in the log:

2021-08-21 21:29:15 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.cover] Setting up cover.rfxtrx

I assume and as described at other RFY issue / Question 2
new entities will be created due to above defined devices - but I can’t find any new rfy entities in my actual list. How can I get access to my RFY blinds ? What is going wrong here ?

Hm, I forgot a leading ‘0’ and I have fixed that, but still no success , there are no new entities created:

rfxtrx:
  device: /dev/ttyUSB0
  automatic_add: true
  devices:
      071a000008c1c201: # room1
      071a000008c1c401: # room2

I got it, the solution is quite simple.

It is not required to add the devices list in the configuration.yaml , don’t change it. Just open RFXTRX settings and enter your specific RFY blind code , which you want to add and you have defined with Rfxmgr und click ‘submit’.
