RFXtrx433XL Sensor but with immediate events

Configuration
1

Hi

I have the following problem with my RFXtrx433XL. I’m using KERUI D026 door/window sensors. And I managed to get them working in HA as an rfxtrx.sensor.
The downside is that the sensor is a “local polling” type. Which means the sensor is only updated every 30 seconds.
But I want the change of the door immediately. Otherwise I can’t use them to turn certain light on if the door opens.
What is really frustrating is, that in the debug loggin I can see the “Receive RFXCOM event from” as soon as the sensor is triggered.

So is there a way to get that information also immediately in an automation at least. The visualization in HA can be delayed. That wouldn’t be a problem.

Maybe also interesting info: The door sensor is recognizes as a type 0x20 (Security1) and not 0x13 (Lighting4). I mention that because in so many sample configs they use the 0x13 IDs and a binary sensor. That did not work for me at all.

I could provide more info if wanted. Just ask.

Thanks so far…

Yes but no but yes but no … Is that really the only way? I don’t want to install another software just for that…
Isn’t that something HA should be able to handle by itself? I’m tempted to file a bug/feature request…

But nonetheless I will take a look into node-red…

I started with nodered in docker. Hassio also has it as an addon i think. Now that i am using it the possiblilities are endless. :slight_smile: Automating is alot easier imho
