It seems like the rf switch does not work all the time while using hassle.io or virtual environment install. It works very intermittently. When I install and run the rf code by command line it works every time. In the ssh window for home asssitant it says rf was sent but actually it is hit and miss whether it executes.
Any thoughts before I give up with this platform?
Try bumping up the signal repetitions (see link below for instructions). I have mine at 20 and they are working well on my christmas lights right now. Also, soldering in a small antenna will help range.
Thanks but its not a hardware/physical transmission problem.
I have isolated the problem to occurring only when “configuration.yaml” file has “history” or “log” enabled. If they are # ed out everything works perfectly.
Any ideas? If not can you tell me if the history and log are always active but just not on the front end when enabled in the configuration.yaml file?
Thanks

… anyone smart enough to solve this?
I have the same problem, and it seems to get worse. rpi_rf-send on the command line works every time, via HA it only works one in 20 times or so. Does anyone have a solution? I’m not even sure how to debug this.
