RFXtrx setup

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’m in need of some help setting up the RFXtrx device.

I’ve added the rfxtrx hub:

rfxtrx:
  device: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT232R_USB_UART_A603PE9S-if00-port0
  debug: True

This seems to work as I get this in the log when pressing a button on my remotes:
INFO:homeassistant.components.rfxtrx:Receive RFXCOM event from <class 'RFXtrx.LightingDevice'> type='AC' id='013f04e:1' INFO:homeassistant.components.rfxtrx:Receive RFXCOM event from <class 'RFXtrx.LightingDevice'> type='ARC' id='A1'

I’ve also added a light, as per the instructions:

light:
  platform: rfxtrx
  automatic_add: True

According to the instructions, pressing the remote should now add a device to HASS, but my /states page remains the same - no light added.

Anyone with an idea of what I’m missing?

My problem was that my devices were considered as switches, not lights.

So:
light: -> switch:

fixed it.
